I use this 30lb vest around twice a week and I have 0 Complaints.It is well made and if treated properly it will last a long time. However, if you are rough on your belongings, your milage may vary. I'd probably steer clear and get a ruck off. It is not build to be tossed around.It fits me perfectly and doesn't jostle around like other vests. It's easy to don and doff.I will say that if you are thin or have shoulders with low muscle mass, it may not be comfortable for you as the vest may dig into your shoulders.

I am 5’0” and I have tried using a couple of my hubby’s weighted vests before and hated every minute of it. They were bulky and hurt my shoulders over time. I bought the 16lb. version of this vest and I love it! So easy to wear! Distributes the weight beautifully and my shoulders don’t feel sore after wearing it. Only thing it is missing is a pocket for your phone on the front of the vest. There is a pocket on the back, but once you are wearing the vest, you can’t reach it.

Comfortable and equally distributed the weight on my body. Very easy to put on and super useful if you like to run or do easy cardio

Nice weighted vest. It's preloaded so weight isn't adjustable. Not a deal breaker but order what you need. We use these for weighted plyo days and usually keep our loads to no more than 10% of bodyweight. I have the 16lb vest. It fits well and weight feels balanced and doesn't feel obstructive during most movements.

I've never tried a weighted vest before, so this is totally new ground for me. I broke it in on a three mile walk in perpetually flat Florida.At "only" 16 pounds, I wasn't expecting a significant increase in difficulty or effort level, and for the most part that was the case. I did have some fatigue in my shoulders and my pace was marginally slower than usual, though I expect both to fade as I get used to the weight.The weight is primarily on the back, though it felt evenly distributed. I didn't notice any lower back strain or discomfort (or any discomfort at all).It has reflective stripes that are a nice touch, as I tend to take my walks late in the evening to avoid some of the heat. That said, it was a breezy 82 degrees and I didn't feel like the vest added excessively to my heat level.Ultimately, this seems like a good way to experiment with introducing a vest without investing heavily into the adjustable, high-poundage models that are out there. There's no real avenue for increasing the load over time, though, so you'll have to decide if you want the sunk cost of this beginner model if you decide to eventually go with modifiable-load style.But this is well priced, fits comfortably enough on my 6 foot, 210 pound frame, and has no immediately apparent downsides.

I ordered this vest for my wife and she loves it. I got the 16lb vest. The weight is dispersed evenly, so it isn’t putting too much pressure on your shoulders or back. My wife wore it during her evening walk and she said that it functioned just as expected and helped make her workout more challenging. The vest is easy to put on, as well as adjust. My wife has a larger chest and she was able to adjust it so that it fit comfortably. This vest is great for walking and it even has reflectors to help keep you safe in the evening. This vest is sturdy. The one thing to note is that it is bulky, so thinking of storage is something we are working on.

This is adjustable and easy to get on. It is as comfortable as you can expect added weight to your workout to be. Due to its design, it is probably best suited for a man or those with a chest that does not greatly protrude.

The fabric on this vest feels very comfortable and it doesn’t rub against your skin or clothing. I think the weights distribution is also good where I don’t really feel like any particular spot on my upper body is heavier than others. So far, I’ve been wearing the vest for dog walks and it’s been working out great despite the warm California summer. I have not tried running with it yet although I don’t anticipate it being problematic. Overall I’m really pleased with this weight vest and I would certainly recommend it if you’re looking to add a little something extra to your exercise regimen.
