Short Weighted Vest With Zipper Option 20lbs - 60lbs Solid Iron Weights. Workout Vest for Men and Women.

Nothing bad to say. This thing is rugged and well designed. Just ease into it - wearing too much weight you realize it and start feeling light headed. Ordered an extra set of 6 weights, but it comes with 6x 3 lb weights. Honestly, that's plenty to start with since most other vests stop at 10 lbs., but I wanted to make sure I had them available upfront. Fully loaded you get two rows of 6 pockets both in the front and the back, 24 total x 3 lbs weights you can get it to 72 lbs, which hats off to you if you can manage that. The weights are solid metal similar enough to a bar of soap in size, for a rough approximation. If you're crafty you could probably figure out your own weights out of smooth rocks or whatever but in a bag or something so they don't skip out, the pockets are open at the top and there's one big flap over them all, but smaller things would probably get out - you need to fill up the pocket. The metal bars are coated to not rust, slide in and out nicely, and not move around - they are perfect, just a little spendy. It lays comfortably, very rugged material even for the pockets which apparently isn't very common. The weights are snug in the pockets and have a large heavy Velcro flap that closes over the top - they aren't going anywhere whatever you do in any direction, any force. The shoulders have thick Velcro to attach the front to the back, so you can adjust it to your frame. With standard 6 weights, it held fine by itself, but with extra weights the Velcro would start to loosen up then I noticed the extra straps and double D rings to go over the shoulders to keep it together, basically use the Velcro to get the fitting right then strap it to keep it in place with weight. There are other straps to go around that will keep it from flopping around. Run, flip, jump, whatever - it'll be there for you. The head opening is pretty big, which is a good thing. It lifts on and off pretty easily. Setting it down it folds over in logical places even with the weights in, so it stores nicely overnight. There's no way this would hide under a shirt, but hopefully that goes without saying. Starting off, take it easy and wear it around the house to get a feel for how long you can wear it & how much weight. Too much can make it hard to breathe & make you lightheaded. This is perfect to grow into, take your time and do it smart, this thing will be there for the journey over years, I'm confident.

After spending a good amount of time searching online for a well built vest, and decided the MIR over V-Force. I am training for crossfit and SEAL, and found that the shape of the MIR is more effective for close-hand exercises and provides the most overhead mobility. Right out of the box, vest didn't have instructions on how to set up the straps; but a little common sense, a youtube video, or some pictures will set you on your way. Have been running 3-5 mile distances, plus sprints with the vest reduced to 20 lbs without noticing any degradation to form. Sits comfortably on the shoulders. The first few days experienced mild discomfort with red markings around shoulders and armpits due to strapping, but was quickly overcome. I sometimes run at night, and wear a reflective band, but the MIR vest also provides a horizontal silver reflective strip about a 1/4" across the back. Each pouch holds two 1.5 lb bricks. It's worth mentioning that the pouches are just the right size for my molle pouches to carry my multi-tool and flashlight. Extremely pleased with shipping. Item was shipped same day as ordered, on the 3rd, and then received via USPS on the 6th (one day early). I'm an impatient consumer when it comes to online orders, and was happily surprised by the s/h service. I ordered this over the V-force specifically due to shape and mobility, however, I wish that MIR provided the same options as V-Force; color or pattern on vest, and a sweat liner. Overall, extremely pleased and would definitely recommend.

I purchased this 50lb vest after returning another brand that was also 50lb. The other brand covered my entire torso and had sand bags, the straps holding the bags ripped. I figured that this one would be better cause it has iron plates. It is better in a sense that the plates are VERY snug in the vest and they don’t move around when working out. The vest also is shorter on my torso which i like. This vest feels SO MUCH heavier than the other brand i bought, even though they were the same weight. Like it feels so much heavier that i had to take a break wearing it during my workout. The straps weighs down on your shoulders alot and feels uncomfy. I had some bruising on my shoulders after the 1st time wearing it. I would definitely recommend getting the one with the zipper. It makes putting it on so much easier. I rate it 4 stars , only because the weight on the shoulders during working out becomes almost unbearable.

Got this to help train for firefighting fitness test and just all around fitness and it’s been great. Velcro is good even after a lot of use. And it goes up to 60lbs! Good value

I did a lot of research and looked into several brands when it came to weighted vests. Had one weight vest (a brand named Go Gear that was definitely a no-go) that literally ripped while I was training with it for the first time. Got that one at Big 5 -- avoid that one at all cost. I researched the MIR vest and purchased it due to its reported quality and durability. I've been using it for a week and the MIR vest is easily my favorite/best/smartest purchase in recent memory. It's a high-quality, durable vest that will withstand a tough training regiment. The weights are metal, and I found them extremely easy to add and take out -- despite what some of these dummies in their reviews are saying about having difficulty doing this simple task. The vest itself, while worn, is easy to get used to. You can strap yourself in real tight so the weights don't bounce around or shift -- perfect for running, hiking, pull-ups, push-ups, and many other exercises. Bottom line, this vest is worth every penny. Purchase this one and enjoy the ride.

Für meinen Bruder bestellt. Er ist damit sehr zufrieden und schwört auf ein effektives Training damit. Gut verarbeitet und kam viel früher als geplant an. Wegen der Klettverschlüsse (keine Schnallen) und der zu hoch angebrachten Gewichtstaschen, leider nur 4 Sterne. Diese hindern bei bestimmten Übungen manchmal den Ablauf etwas.

Producto muy estético, funcional altamente recomendado y ya llevo tiempo con el y no tiene detalles es de uso rudo

Sadly trying to buy the extra weights to fill ALL available holes in the vest is difficult and expensive and cannot find the stand alone weights here on Amazon.

Lo uso para caminar y hacer hike. Se ve bonito, se siente de buena calidad, el peso es modular. El peso que viene incluido es suficiente para empezar y progresar un poco. Mucho espacio para agregar más peso después.

lo he utilizado para tener condición fisica y me ha ayudado bastante ahora me siento ligero y me mantiene en forma
