APEXUP Adjustable Weighted Vest Men 20lbs/30lbs/40lbs Weights with Reflective Stripe, Weight Vest Woman Workout Vest for Strength Training Running Walking

Very robust materials, and fits well without jiggling around or bouncing as a neoprene vest would do.Also, having weights instead of iron sand, there is no risk of leaks or other inconveniences.It is worth the small extra price difference.

I'm 5' 10" and 240 lbs. ( 178cm, 108kg) and this vest fits me fine. Easy to adjust to size and weights are easy to take in and out. I find that if I wear this vest for doing housework and yardwork it works much better for me than just hiking because of all the bending over and going up and down steps makes my core work harder. When you pick up the vest fully packed, it weighs 41.8 lbs. (19kg). It feels quite heavy picking it up fully loaded. I have recently lost 40 lbs and it's hard to believe that I was carrying that extra weight all the time. No wonder I got tired so quickly. I could stand to drop another 40 lbs. which this may help me accomplish. Other thing to think about is if you wear this around the house and get tired, you can take it off and put it down. Hard to do that when you're 2 miles from home and you want to drop the vest. Shoulders are well padded, no problem there. Space for head is a little tight.

I chose this weighted vest because it was one of few that did not use iron sand pouches. The iron sand pouches in most weighted vests evidently give off toxic smelling fumes that make the vests unusable for many. Users also report the iron sand pouches are difficult to remove and tuck back in. This vest gets a 5 star rating for it's solid iron weights. I was able to easily remove them to adjust location and total weight! For that reason alone I would buy this vest again. For the weights. However, I may end up piling these weights into my old bicycling backpack. First, the waist belt on this vest was impossible to assemble. I'm still not sure I got it right. There is a vague instruction included with a dark photo of how the waist belt looks and no detailed explanation re: how to assemble it. There are miles of velcro on this waist strap included, had to fold it three times so I had this thick belt kind of makeshift belt riding just under my ribcage. The whole thing is a bit short, doesn't go down to my waist. I am 5' 6" and weigh 112 lbs. The nylon adjustable"waist" nylon band with plastic clasp, as reported by other reviewers, slides out of place in a minute. I will have to add some kind of tape or pin to keep it secured. My other concern is the narrow neck opening. I have a skinny neck and small sloping shoulders. After my first walk, with only a few weights, the vest cut into my neck/trapezius muscles. I don't know how this works on a man with a normal sized neck. The neck opening is kind of small digging in with weight close to the neck. So, I'm a little leary about what happens when I add more weight. The vest is well constructed, with quality canvas type fabric. I'm going to try to adjust and work with it. Still glad I purchased it.

Tried out the 40lbs weighted vest during my jog. The valco is pretty tough. It stays in place and the clip is the extra security. The paddings on the shoulder is really nice. Does not hurt at all. Very well design and built product. Definitely will use this at my gym for core workouts too!

Really like the lead weights. Easy to slide them in or out of the pockets. Better than sand bags. Comfortable straps that don't dig into my shoulders. Seems well made. I've had it for 4 months. Use it 3 to 4 times a week. No tears. No issues. I carry 25lbs for now when jogging. I've loaded it up for pushups and pull ups. It's a good vest!

Comfortable to wear while working out. Fit is perfect!

My biggest surprise with this vest is how comfortable it is to wear. It fits pretty snugly which is good because the weights don’t shift around when working out with it on. I have really noticed a difference in my core and posture as a result of the weighted vest.

My item was shorted one of the weights. I emailed customer service and Hank responded very quickly. Product shipped out immediately! The vest is sturdy and comfortable! Great product and great customer service!!
