Good quality, has a chemical smell
We opted for the 20-lb vest for hiking and treadmill / outdoor walking. Everyone is the family uses it at least for treadmill walks (our 10-year old likes it a lot for treadmill walking). Weight Surprisingly the vest weighs in at exactly 20 lbs on our home scale. By comparison, a 30-lb kettlebell weighs 30.6. So either the 20-lb vest is .4 under, or the kettlebell is .6 too heavy and the vest is perfectly 20 lbs. Fit & Uses Not flashy or loud, this vest is unassuming and seems to focus on getting the job done. We wish there was a second strap that connected the lower portion of the vest. There is only a strap that clips across the upper chest. When running, the lower area moves around a lot more than desired. It's not very good for making certain exercises more challenging, like yoga or rock climbing. Because it has just the one strap along the top, the entire vest moves a lot if you are inverted or just about any position other than upright. If wearing it during weight lifting or body weight exercises like push-ups, the bulk of the vest can get in the way because the weight is packed into, and distributed, under the arm pits and sides on the vest. This is great for more balance when upright just walking or some low intensity running, but it means your arms constantly rub against these parts of the vest. Smell Out of the box, there is a noticeable chemical or oil/gasoline like smell. My wife smelled it strongly. I smelled it mildly, but it's definitely there. Some say that it will go away after a "little while". Not sure how long that really is, because nearly 2 months later, there is still the same smell. The vest was even accidentally left out in 2 days of rain. After drying it on low (using a shoe rack in the dryer), the smell persist. A bit less now, by it has not gone completely away. Some people how are more sensitive to this type of scent may find the vest too difficult to wear. I'm able to ignore it and use the vest, as the smell is not so strong for me. Exercise I mostly use it for speed walking on the treadmill with 3% incline. Getting the vest was intended to help me reach higher heart rates without having to run or use very high inclines (ankle injury). Previously, I could reach an average HR of about 115 bpm. With the vest on, and the treadmill at the same settings, my HR averages about 125. So a decent improvement without forcing a higher incline or speed that would cause my ankle injury to be more painful. I should have probably gone with a 25-lbs vest.

    I’ve been reading and hearing so much about how good it is to wear a weighted vest to strengthen our bones, and I agree. I ordered the 12lb (it’s based on body weight so if you weight about 120lbs give or take, then a 12lb may be a good fit. Some start out with less weight and move up. It’s very comfortable to wear, fits perfectly, and is made of durable material. Great purchase!

BUT overall comfort is good, great product for its price, its a one size fits all kind of design, material seems very durable, it is slip resistant feeling but it has a strange diesel like odor, and it comes with a nice phone holder that doesnt bounce around everywhere.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025
    Size: 20 lbColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I bought the 20-lb version and will probably purchase a 25- and/or 30-lb soon as my body adjusts to this weight. It’s already strengthening my bum knee after my second hill session. Glad I purchased some cushiony shoes beforehand to avoid jarring my joints with this heavier vest. Fits comfortably. I am more inclined to get the single weight varieties rather than the adjustable weight one after reading reviews. I prefer the way the single-weight vests sit higher on the back. Yes, the vest had a chemical odor out of the box, but I didn’t notice it during my two hikes so far. I cannot yet speak to the durability. I like that this one has two adjustable clamps which keep the vest from sliding around. Easy enough for me to put on and take off, plus I can wear my small shoulder strap mini purse to carry my phone and other items right over the vest without complication. I haven’t used the included practical phone case yet, since it wouldn’t fit all the gear I prefer to bring along in my purse, but I did verify that it would snugly fit my iPhone 16 Pro Max, a key and a credit card. Overall great tool for upping the intensity of my daily hikes--highly recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality best 6 pounds
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2025
    Size: 6 lbColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I just got this a few days ago and I wore it around my house for a few hours and in my backyard walking around. It does definitely add a decent amount of weight. I got 6 pounds because I have a bad back and I can’t be lifting or holding a lot of weight, but 6 pounds for me is definitely enough. It definitely gives you good support. I like the idea that it has a holder for your cell phone because I always need my cell phone on me. It does give you a decent amount to sweat as well if you’re walking on a treadmill or if you’re walking around your neighborhood, its definitely a good workout Vest so I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to build strength in their shoulders, chest area, and I love the idea that you can either loosen it or pull the Velcro more to make it tighter. Highly recommend.

    Picked up the 30-pound weight vest thinking I was some kind of superhero—turns out, I’m very much not. Took it on a two-hour hike and by the end, my back was staging a full-blown protest. That’s on me though—should’ve stuck with the 20-pound range I’m used to when wearing a backpack. That said, the vest itself is legit. Well-made, fits snug, and the weight is evenly distributed so it doesn’t flop around like a sack of potatoes. If you’re looking to level up your training (and your pain tolerance), this thing will absolutely do the trick. Just maybe start lighter if your ego isn’t writing checks your spine can’t cash.

    I wanted a weighted vest to help me keep calm and focus. The market for adult vests is quite niche. I ordered the 4lb vest because I wanted to keep the impact on my shoulders less. It feels like wearing a backpack with a few books in it.

    I am a smaller person so the front clip was a good fit, but for larger chest sizes the vest strap my not fit. The extra phone strap thing is cool. The zippers clink together and make noise, so I covered on in tape.

    Would not recommend using while jumping.
