Weighted Vest 6lb, 10lb, 12lb, 25lb, 35lb, 45lb, 60lb Removable Iron Weights for Men and Women Workout for Calisthenics and Fitness Sport Training

I bought this as an alternative to a backpack for rucking. I've been rucking for about a year. I typically carry 40 pounds and with a back pack it is really unbalanced and uncomfortable. So, I thought I'd try one of these. What a difference! It is very comfortable to carry 40 pounds. The vest is very well made and the shoulder straps are very well padded. The phone pocket on the front is just a little too small for my iphone so I just put it in the pocket standing up. It's easier to pull it out to check progress that way anyway. Only downside was that mine arrived short one of the weights. I contacted the company through the website and they said they would ship me the missing weight. For me and my rucking, this is a game changer.

There are so many good things to say about this vest, please allow me a few moments:You now what's better than drinking coffee in the morning? Putting on this vest - Instand energizer!Did you know that doing anything, even walking and vacuuming, with added weight kicks off the anti-aging gene??!Well apparently adding weight also energizes because I'm above 40 and did not want to get off the couch. I put this vest on and now I am doing air squats.And the shoulder straps on this jawn are nice....super padded and ergonomic to the traps, I'm not sure how much weight I have in now, but the vest is pretty heavy and on my shoulders it feels like nothing at all! I was doing squat jumps and felt like no pressure on my shoulders.When you open this package you will see that high-end materials from the metal buckle to the tough velcro and they even put a zippered pouch on the front so you can have chapstick and gum while all the neighborhood wonders why your thighs look so strong and you have more energy than everyoneFor real this thing got me doing more pullups, not less, it's a wild experience to wear it around and not need coffeeONE OF THE COOLER THINGS IS THE WEIGHT IS UP HIGH - UNLIKE SOME OTHER PRODUCTS THAT GO DOWN TO YOUR WAIST AND REALLY RESTICE MOVEMENT - SO YOU CAN DO ALL KIDS OF SQUATS AND HAVE TONS OF MOBILITYThis may be a little controversial and I would not want to put my name on it, but ladies I have chest muscles my friends are jealous of and I feel like this design offers a little more room in that area - I removed weights from the top row to lower center of gravity and I feel like that kind of adaptability and fit might make things easier for our friends who gave life to every single person on this planet

Nice vest well made has lot of options with alot of weight

The vest is very comfortable! I’ve used it a handful of times so far. Longest ruck I’ve gone on is 9 miles with this vest. It takes a little while to get the sizing correct. Put it on, take it off and adjust. Put it on, take it off to adjust. It would be nice if you could adjust with it on, and you probably can with another person helping you, but the Velcro is behind you to make the adjustments. The weights insert and remove easily so changing the weights are simple. But, if you pull the bottom weights out or need to add them, you need to make a size adjustment again.Overall very happy with the vest! I bought it for using as a running vest as well, but that doesn’t seem like it will be realistic with as much bouncing around it does while running.

I tried a few weighted vests before settling on this one. It's miles ahead of the competition. The weight distribution (high around the ribcage, not chafing your back or belly), weight density (iron blocks, rather than sand bags) and incremental adjustment options (3 pounds/block) make a *huge* difference. And the velcro-buckle system actually holds fast during a workout, which was disappointingly difficult to find among other weighted vests. Opportunities for improvement: it would be nice if the straps were wider and a LITTLE bit elastic. Their narrowness kinda cuts into your ribcage when you really want to fasten down a heavier load. But honestly, I didn't find any other vest to even be usable.What's more, the other day my backpack was stolen, containing one of the weight blocks. I emailed the vendor and they immediately sent me THREE replacement blocks free of charge--not even shipping. Really just the kind of company you wish were more common.

I do not run in it only walk, but it is comfortable and well balanced to wear.

Great product, excellent built quality

Dude, And dudettes, this thing is awesome. Makes family walks and walking the dog and extra calorie burning event. Very comfortable, the straps have more than enough padding for the 60+ lbs. I like that it has the weights high up, so that you can bend at the waist. Get it!
