APEXUP 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.

Fits well. Love how you can change the weights.

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 walk every day for an hour with it. love it.

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.

Reviewing the 40lb vest. Overall it’s okay. Nothing special- definitely functional but no frills or features. Glad that I got it at a discounted rate. The sizing is goofy. What do I mean? The head hole in the top of the vest is almost too small to fit my head thru. And I don’t really have a big head (hat band size 7 1/8). While the side straps are wayyy oversized. I have to almost cinch them completely down for the buckles to be useful. And it still bounces around on me sometimes. I get it’s made to be universal and fit people of all sizes/fitness levels. in my opinion a Velcro closure that wraps around the front would’ve been a better design to achieve that goal and still be fully functional. I will probably sew in some Velcro to the straps. As far as quality goes. I’m only using 20lbs of weight right now and I have some stitching coming loose. Soo we’ll see how it holds up. I imagine I’m going to need to some repairs eventually.

Gets the heart pumping

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
