Weighted Vest Weight Vest for Men Women Kids Weights Included, Body Weight Vests Adjustable for Running, Training Workout, Jogging, Walking

This was purchased because I saw someone online with it. Price is good for a starter vest. Out of the package it smells like new workout gear. I opted for the 8lb vest to get started. I have worn it around the house and it is pretty comfortable. The design is good. Easy to slip on and use the front clip and adjust as needed. I can wear it around the house for a couple of hours and function as I need- folding laundry, vacuuming, computer work etc. I was cautioned to wear it for 15-30 minutes at a time and get used to it.

Just arrived today and wore it tonight in. 4 mile walk. Great fit, weight was distributed evenly, strap is adjustable and it didn’t ride up when I walked. I went with the 16lb one and could definitely feel it in my back and shoulders and legs: So far, so good!

This is so comfortable to wear and not at all bulky, nor does it impair movement. I wear it grocery shopping, taking my dog for a walk, or just getting things done around the house. The single clip closure is well-made and is easy to adjust. 12 pounds is a nice weight to start with where it's nowhere close to rucking, but I can feel the benefit after each use. After only having it a week, I feel like it's paid for itself. Would highly recommend for daily use to have just a little extra.

The other reviews stating that there is a strong initial plastic-y odor are spot on but it does fade. I left the vest out to air out for a few days and even then, it retained the odor for a few wears. This fits well and is comfortable whether over a t shirt or a tank. I'm not sure how it would hold up for longer distances in terms of chafing but I've done about 4 miles comfortably. It has straps in the front that I've taken to sliding my phone into but it's fallen out a few times. I wish there was a front pocket. That's really the only reason I docked a star.

I purchased the 12lb vest and couldn't be happier! I wear it while walking on the treadmill. It came packed nicely and has no smell. The buckle is adjustable which is nice if you’re chest is on the large side.

Started wearing this vest during my daily walks and it has really helped build my endurance. I really didn’t think it would do anything but I was wrong.Challenge yourself and get this vest

I bought the 12lb vest. I walk my dog 3 miles every morning. This vest has been a game changer! I love it.

Chances are I'll come back and update this review but here's why I only gave this vest 3 stars...It fits much smaller than the one in the pic and I'm really frustrated with items fitting differently than the pictures indicate. I don't know if I received a different item than ordered, but it fits just like the posture corrector bought prior to this. Imagine putting it on and having it buckle right above your chest and only come to the bottom of your shoulder blades in the back. That's the fit!Now, what I love about it... As soon as I buckled it I felt my shoulders pull back and since I've noticed issues with my posture lately that's a beautiful thing!My suggestion, if you have any skeletal issues, bone density, spine, hips, knees, etc I recommend speaking with your doctor before ordering this. I ordered the lightest weight available so I wasn't expecting it to be as heavy as it is. I have a slight issue with my lower back and as soon as I slipped this on I felt one of my lower vertebrae slip a bit. Not so much that it caused any discomfort but I definitely felt it move, so I decided to limit the amount of time I wear it and gradually increase it. Initially I only wore it around the house while cleaning and taking out the trash. Recently I began wearing it at the beginning of my exercises and intend to increase it to my full workout over time, eventually I'll start wearing it on walks as well.I'm usually good at updating my reviews so I'll keep everyone posted. Again, I only wish it fit the way it did in the pics. That would've distributed the weight evenly throughout my torso and not made it so top heavy, which would've made it more comfortable and not so hard on my lower spine. Right now all the weight across my shoulders and that's creating the discomfort. I know if the weight were evenly distributed on the upper portion of my body it would be much easier on me physically. This feels as though I'm waking around with a heavy barbell laying across my shoulders.
