Overall Impression: This weight vest has a very unique design in that it is very form fitting and can be pretty snug. As a result, by design it moves very little if at all during walking and a little bit when running. Even though it is tight across the chest, it doesn’t restrict breathing because of the expandable side cords. I have owned several weight vests and this is by far the best and most comfortable available that I have tried. Specifically, it doesn’t weigh your shoulders down and make you fight against it causing shoulder/neck fatigue which means you can wear it for longer periods of time. Yes, it is very expensive, but after trying several vests for comfort you end up spending the same amount for less-than-optimal multipl other products. The total weight limit is 20 pounds and that may be significantly less than some other vests, but you can walk up and down hills and that 20 pounds is no longer easy. This is clearly the best vest I own and wish I had just bought it up front without trying other vests.Pros:-form fitting and doesn’t move much during exercise-expands as you breathe-variable weight capacity up to 20 pounds-slim design and can wear a slightly larger shirt or seat shirt over it-can alter its fit if you gain or lose weight a little bitCons:-expensive-a bit fiddly adding extra weight especially when doubling up for each pocket-weight pockets are a bit small with two weights per pocket-after putting in 10 pounds or more, the seams around the head/shoulder openings will dig into you-be prepared for skin impressions from the cords and weights that will dissipate over a short time because of the tight fit (I added seat belt lambs wool around the shoulders: it helps-the weight is distributed evenly over your chest and back and as a result ends up being very comfortable and doesn’t tend to “swing†around your neck/shoulders (not top heavy)Company Recommendations (I doubt they will read this but anyway)-expand the weight pockets just a few millimeters for easier access without causing excess slop-add a double roll with foam around the edges for shoulder/armpit areas (not too thick just a bit)-consider adding lead weights as an option to gain a few more pounds

I have now had this vest for over 2 months. I didn't know if I would use a weight vest consistently, so prior to this one I decided to try the Tone fitness one at 8lbs. That one goes over the head and sits at the waist, and I liked it a lot (some may not like the weight on the clavicle area though). Since that one is static weight, I decided to try this one once I decided I enjoyed using a weight vest.I liked that it used metal weights and was adjustable. I previously bought the Pro version via "used" on Amazon but when I got it it already had some tiny holes in it. I decided to fork out the money for the pro version and it feels MUCH more durable. I didn't get the other one they have designed for women because the weights are in 2.5 increments and are sand, as well as not as distributed over the torso/back - but that one did look nice at half the price.At the time of purchase, I was 156 lbs, 5'4", size 10/12 (woman) with a short torso. I got a medium and it fit with about 2-3 inches of cord. Its very compressive, which is great because I have shoulder pain and I noticed the weight didn't sit at my shoulders at all but very evenly distributed. No issue with the clip on the cord moving as older reviews state; the clip has been changed and is not the same as the picture. It doesn't budge. The logo is also white, not orange.10 lbs is a nice weight for walking - it actually comes in closer to 11 lbs. I am not washing the vest, as taking and reinserting the weights would be tedious. I like that this is likely the last vest I will ever buy - as I get older, I can take weight out as needed. The packaging is pretty cheap - just a plain cardboard box, but I guess they save money on packaging.No hot spots on the best, but your mileage will vary depending on your body shape (and how it changes). I thought the corners in the armpit area would be annoying, but it's been fine. I wear it with a workout tank underneath for my walks.All in all, for durability, flexibility of weights, weight distribution, and value for those things,I think this is the best weight vest out there. I looked at others that seemed much cuter, but they were only a static 5lbs (and pricier!) and that wasn't going to cut it for me.

nice fit, except for top side lace under arm. I am 6' 215 lbs. Not overly large in the chest area. But I needed to replace the vest to NOT use the top 2 lace holders, to fit under arm without binding. Placement and arm cutouts to small. Thinking of taking to a seamstress person and modifying.LOVE, the compactness, quality, and over comfort. Will use not only for cardio, but weight training also. Will also add to daily activity when shopping, yard work, etc.Would recommend.

I wore the vest for first time on two mile walk. I was surprised how even the weights were. I could tell the weight bearing was significant because nothing hurt or felt out of place at the end of the walk except that I felt like I had one helluva workout. I wear the vest on the advice of my Osteo Doctor as I have Osteopenia and I want to slow down the progression. There's no doubt this vest will help greatly. The vest can be worn under your clothing. It can fit as snugly as you'd like. I recommend wearing a tank top under the vest to prevent any chafing that may occur.

I love this vest. I did my research beforehand and looked at quite a number of different ones and although this was proving to be the most expensive, it had some legitimacy to be so:The material is tough, the quality of construction is excellent, the design has obviously been tried, tested and improved upon to produce an excellent fit and function. It's major advantages over almost all the others vests is the webbing fit at the sides and the tiny weights. It allows for perfect distribution and balance, progression and comfort. There's a tool (a slip of metal) that comes with it that allows you to put the weights in and out with ease.The final clincher for me was that Iron Wolf (a US marine from youtube) uses it repeatedly in his training. I respect his work and ethic, so if it's good enough for him to not only use, but go back to repeatedly, then it's good enough for me.On average I'll use it 2 or 3 times a week. It's stood up magnificently. This has been made to last.What it's done for my training is early days, but it is all positive so far. Whereas I'd give most gear purchases or training adjustments like a 1% improvement to performance, I've found a weighted vest may be something like 5-10%. I think it will certainly help me achieve progress over the next year as I push and consolidate the improvements. And because of the design, I'm not limited by what exercises I can do whilst wearing it - I can still do floor exercises (without the vest or weight digging in to me), twisting, flexibility, weights, cardio etc. They are all still doable whilst maintaining balance and control.Yes it's expensive, but for me it's proven a worthwhile and excellent purchase from a company that obviously cares about what they produce and how they treat their customers. These are important qualities to appreciate.

Best weighted vest I have owned by far and comfortable to wear, expensive but hopefully get value back over years of use.

If you're looking for a weighed vest to exercise, look no further. We did a lot of research into vests and these have to be the best fit, easy to use, easy to adjust and the fit really helps you keep it on for as long as your workout is without getting annoyed with the shoulder coming off or velcro tapes undoing themselves. It is absolutely brilliant. Watch youtube for recommended physio exercises with this vest. A great investment for our health. We have to thank the physiotherapist on youtube that recommends this - she is 100% correct. Many thanks!
