Weighted Vest Men, Adjustable Weight Vest for Running

I was very pleased with this vest. I bought it to train with as I have to do a walk test each year to certify going on assignments as a wildland firefighter. The vest is very easy to adjust and is comfortable to wear. The only down side is that I needed a 45 pound vest and not just a 40 pound vest but that is not the fault of the manufacturer. With the added velcro it is easy to add patches or identifiers. Very well built vest, it should last me quite a while.

This vest is very well-made and the individual 2 1/2 pound weights are easy to add and remove as desired. It has a large clip on each side of the vest to secure front of vest to back of vest via a belt. The belt is fully adjustable and there’s a padded piece underneath the belt so that it doesn’t dig into your skin while you’re walking. I am 6 foot two and getting my head through the neck. Hole of the vest usually requires me turning it slightly to the side so that it clears more comfortably. But once it’s on, it’s very comfortable. The first few times I wore it and tried to walk my usual distance, I was whooped by the time I got back. And I started at 20 pound weight. Although I weighed 40 pounds more at one point in my life, I was amazed at how fatiguing just having 20 pounds of weight in the vest was while walking. It makes it hard for me to believe that I weighed the full 40 pounds more, which is the maximum capacity of this fest. Overall a good buy and well-made. Very happy.

I love this weighted vest! I purchased this because I remember watching The Biggest Loser years ago and the finalists would have to carry the weight they'd lost at the end. At the time of this purchase I'd lost 40 lbs and wanted to see what it was like to try and carry the weight I'd lost. When the package arrived, I couldn't hardly pick it up because it was so heavy! What a moment for me! Realizing that I couldn't hardly move it, yet I'd been carrying that weight around for quite a while on a daily basis. It was a phenomenal moment, and now I'm down 60 lbs. Anyway, I chose this particular one because of the reviews. It was a little more expensive than others, but I'd rather buy something of quality. I just recently pulled it out to use it and I have started with just 10 lbs. I normally do an incline 2.5 mile walk on my treadmill every single day (from a 2% up to an 8% then back down). My typical average heart rate at the end is between 142-144 bmp. With this vest on, at just 10 lbs, it is now an average of about 155 bpm! I wish I had started using this sooner! I absolutely feel like it adds a new level to my workout, and a great sweat as well. Also, it is very comfortable to wear. It does not rub up against me or anything and is comfortable on my shoulders. I highly recommend!

I'm 5' 10" and 240 lbs. ( 178cm, 108kg) and this vest fits me fine. Easy to adjust to size and weights are easy to take in and out. I find that if I wear this vest for doing housework and yardwork it works much better for me than just hiking because of all the bending over and going up and down steps makes my core work harder. When you pick up the vest fully packed, it weighs 41.8 lbs. (19kg). It feels quite heavy picking it up fully loaded. I have recently lost 40 lbs and it's hard to believe that I was carrying that extra weight all the time. No wonder I got tired so quickly. I could stand to drop another 40 lbs. which this may help me accomplish. Other thing to think about is if you wear this around the house and get tired, you can take it off and put it down. Hard to do that when you're 2 miles from home and you want to drop the vest. Shoulders are well padded, no problem there. Space for head is a little tight.

I have had my 40 lb vest for almost 2 months. Wear it daily when walking. Very comfortable and the weights are easly adjustable. Only issue I have is the side seam has come unraveled already on the front of the vest. The weights are not falling out but looks bad, and should last considerably longer than less than 2 months for the price.

Fit is good, feels like a nice weight distribution. My only real issue is the sides. They have adjustable buckles but when you tighten it to fit your body it VERY easily comes undone. The buckles are not the right kind for this application. There’s nothing to keep it from backing out while you work out at all. This should be changed at the production level or just be changed to Velcro in my opinion. For the price I’m happy with it and will fix the problem myself to fit my body. One thing to note is I’m pretty slim and had to undo the side adjustments out one loop to get it tight enough to not slide all over. Admittedly this gave me so much extra slack I was able to tie it in front of me to keep it from coming undone. I tried to add a video but Amazon would only let me add pictures…

I go to the gym very constantly every day while I can work, I'm in the process of losing weight so I looked for this one where it has weight, I use the treadmill, this helped me so much that I have had a very big change, it is of good quality, you can choose if you want more or less weight it depends on what you want, it has a brutal quality, it is completely worth it, it will last you a long time

My husband absolutely loves this weight vest! The adjustable weights make it handy to adjust for whatever activity you are doing. You can also add patches to the Velcro on the front. He does wish that the waist could cinch a bit snugger for it to feel extra secure (and he’s average size), so might feel too big on a smaller individual.

Muy buen producto, muy cómodo, cumple con lo descrito en la publicación, sería un mejor producto si tuviera velcros en los costados para un mejor ajuste ya que el broche que tiene con el movimiento continuo tiende a aflojarle, por lo demás un muy buen producto de calidad, lo recomiendo ampliamente
