Xn8: Flawed, but decent for the price point.
I purchased this vest shortly after also purchasing wrist and ankle weights from the same company. I bundled together a few of my thoughts on them all as part of this review, as there are a few things that seem to be recurring faults.Bear in mind that my review (and photographs) are representative of the product after use 3-5 times a week for roughly a month.Products are generally good quality, comfortable and have genuinely helped with upping the effects I feel from exercise. Having said that, every one has had some kind of flaw with their build quality: in this case one of the seams on the side of the vest (that hold the whole thing together) just seems like the manufacturer had excess material and couldn't be bothered to tidy it up afterwards, leading to a strange but ultimately inconsequential 'extra' bit that just kind of hangs there, hidden by the belt.Other items (pictured) either arrived flawed (one wrist weight was torn on the thumb-hole and needed repairing before use - a testament to the fragile material and the poorly reinforced edges of that particular area) or just suffered from minor design faults (the whole range relies on Hook & Loop fastenings, but the bulk of the product both attaches to Hook & Loop if it so much as looks in it's direction and is quickly shredded should they become attached - this was a particular problem with the wrist weights, which were simply too large when the connectors lined up even when worn over sleeves, leading to the bulk of the connection there being more akin to 'Hook & Fragile Inner Fabric')Of all of the products, the vest is probably the most sturdy: it's only real manufacturing flaw being superficial.While talking about the vest in particular, I'd like to echo what other reviewers have stated: the shoulder straps start to get uncomfortable after a while. It's not a huge deal, but especially with heavier variants, you'll notice it.Oh, and when the site says "Secure Hook & Loop straps forming a strong bond when pressed together. Cannot be separated easily without applying a considerable force" please note that this is simply not true: the fastenings were average at best on arrival, and over the past month or so have degraded to 'generally holds together as long as I don't make any sudden movements'.All in all, not bad for the money but beware what seems to be an ongoing, questionable build quality and not false, but misleading advertising.

Bone strengthening goodness.
Very useful for ageing people like me who know they should exercise but keep finding excuses not to. I'm 50 and I bought this to give me a workout while I walk the dogs. First time I tried it I was really struggling after 15 minutes, now I can walk for an hour straight. When I take it off it's like I'm floating on air. Be warned though, you'll need strength just to but the thing on.

Not really worth the money/ poor quality
For how expensive this was, the sand bags in it are pore quality and it’s not really comfortable at all. Used it on runs which it’s the most uncomfortable.then gone static work outs not so bad. But over all worth spending more money on a better quality more thought out and comfortable weighted vest.

An honest review.
Very satisfied with this product. Quality stitching and comfy design. The ability to be able to remove and add weights is fairly easy. Very happy with price considering the weight bags are included and removable. Evenly distributed weight from front to back and after an hour of wearing to ensure comfort I barely know it’s there. Slight restriction in movement of lifting hands vertically and slight restriction of core twisting. Thought it is to be expected and like mentioned the restriction is slight. I am happy with this product. Recommend this product for Beginners through to semi-professional! Especially due to its cost!

Poor quality
I bought this product 8 November. Used it about 10 times in November and December. Didn't use it in Jan and Feb because I had an injury and went back to it in March and the stitching for the straps has ripped and come apart. I can't use it anymore. I contacted the seller and they refused to help as it's past the 90 policy. Really poor quality vest. The other vest I have from Surreal is still going strong after a year of regular use.

Amazing adjustable vest
It is very comfortable once worn, fits very good on your body and allows you to do many exercises without blocking. Of course it is going to limit some movement, due to the sand bags, but you can rearrange their disposition if needed.Adjustable weights are easy to move and add/remove.You can sweat with that and it looks to not smell at all.

20kg vest
Bought this for cardio on top of my strength training while doing a shred during lockdown. Go out every night for an hours power walk in it and I think it’s a great weight loss tool.Strap it tight around your stomach so it takes some of the weight from your shoulders.I opted for the 20kg one, but the weights can be removed for a beginner to start on a lighter weight if needed.
