Great product!
This adjustable weighted vest if very good. You can add or remove the weights to fit your comfort and strength level. You can put the sand bag weights in the front and back of the vest. This is a great method to improve your overall strength and conditioning. The vest came with 10 sand bags. I sweat a great deal when I use this vest. I usually just let it dry out outside. About once a week, I will run it through our washing machine (without the weights) on the delicate cycle to clean and deodorize. The vest is comfortable. I do use the shoulder pads to increase comfort. It fits great.

Great quality, great range – just start small
Really happy with this weighted vest. The build quality is solid, the price was right, and I love that it offers such a wide range — you can go as light as 20 lbs and scale all the way up to 150. It’s comfortable to wear considering the weight, though fair warning: once you load it up, it will feel heavy — that’s the point. Here’s my old-man advice if you’re new to weighted vests: don’t start at the top. Add weight gradually and let your body adapt — wear it for walks or around the house first before you jump into workouts. Your joints, back, and knees will thank you. Once you’re used to it, this vest becomes an incredible tool for training, hiking, or just turning everyday movement into exercise. Overall, it’s exactly what I wanted — sturdy, adjustable, and capable of growing with you as you get stronger.

A good buy
I am very pleased with this weighted vest. It appears to be made well and my walks are very challenging with it loaded at 48lbs (I bought a 60lb vest, but removed some of the weights). It is as comfortable as can be expected. The main discomfort is felt in the shoulders, though I did buy it with the shoulder pads. This vest is less expensive and more comfortable than the vest I had from one of the big fitness companies. I definitely recommend this vest. Get more results from your walks!

Do not Run in This
This is a fantastic product if you want to add something extra to your walk. Its heavier then a military vest, and after buying an extra sandbag to shoot at, could potential save you like one as well buuuut don't bet on it. I use this vest for adding a little extra to my choirs and when Im going up and down stairs. It fits well on a 270lb guy like me, but there are some draw backs to it that I have found annoying. The first is that when bending down to grab something the velcro doesnt hold the best. Most of the time I have to hold the vest in place if Im reaching for something. It's also bulky so don't expect to be doing push-ups with weights in the front unless your planning on using platforms to rise up a bit. The other drawback is trying to get the weights just right in the vest. I found that if I have a spot between two of them it is hard to get it fully packed in the slot. Also if using the full 60lbs I would recommend wearing something a little thicker even with the pads on it. The positive aspects would be that you can adjust the weight as needed. I started out with 30lbs and moved up from there. Plus with the pads on it I can wear it for longer periods of time. The max Ive been able to wear it is 3hrs. One other amazing thing is that it acts great for stability control on other exercises. When Im not wearing it I can blast a few curls with it that adding the extra movement really hits home. Plus you can hold it crossed armed up to your chest to do squats with or wear it as well. Pros: Balance Control Adjustable weights Great add on for basic work outs Maybe save a life, who knows Cons: Sand shifts making it hard to get weights in sometimes Pads have to be shifted just right or hurts collar bone Velcro not the best Needs more padding DON'T RUN, this thing bounces around too much. I now understand the pains some women have to deal with running. Almost poked an eye out

Versatile and Solid Weighted Vest, Glad I Got It Before the Price Jump
I got the 40 lb version with shoulder pads for about $63, and now I see it’s almost double that. Honestly, it’s still worth it. Each weight pouch (sand) is around 4 lbs, so you can easily adjust the load depending on the exercise. I use 16 lbs for my 4-mile weekend walks and it adds just the right challenge. I’ve also worn the full 40 lbs, and trust me, the shoulder pads make a huge difference. Without them, the weight would dig in too much. Pros: Adjustable weight in small chunks Shoulder pads actually help with comfort Feels secure during movement Good value for what you get No weird smell Seems durable and fits great Cons: Looks a bit intense from afar. A couple people thought I was a cop Might feel awkward the first time you wear it Once you get used to it, it just becomes part of your routine. This vest made my workouts more challenging without needing extra gear. I really like it and definitely recommend it.

Great quality vest!
Great weighted vest!! It fits well and feels super secure. It’s easy to remove or replace the weights - they are each 2.5 pounds and there’s 4 in front and back. The vest just straps around your waist with easy velcro. It also has a little water bottle holder and a place to clip on a carabiner.

Great weight distribution!
When you pick this thing up and feel the full weight you think, "there's no way Im going to be able to put this on". Then you carefully slide in to it and realize that the perfect weight distribution makes this pretty darn bearable. In fact, your legs are more likely to get tired than your back is! I needed this to train for a fitness test coming up. I love the ease of adjusting the weight to what I want, and the 5 pockets on both sides give you options for where you put the weights. Its comfortable and the lower chest band gives great support. I didnt get the ones with the shoulder pads, and while I do think they would make it more comfortable, you can easily add your own make shift padding that will do the same thing. This is a great exercise tool to really help you build muscle and strength. Its very good quality and seems like it will be durable over time.

This vest does what it’s supposed to and does it well. The weight is adjustable in clean increments, the fit is secure, and the shoulder pads make a real difference for longer sessions. Most vests skip that comfort layer or sell it separately—this one includes it, and it’s hard to find again once stock dries up. The nylon shell wipes clean easily, and the sandbag weights stay put without shifting. It’s bulky at full load, but the balance is solid and the straps hold firm. No bouncing, no awkward shifting, and no stitching failures so far. If you’re serious about adding resistance to walks, stairs, or bodyweight work, this is a reliable pick. Just don’t wait on the shoulder pad version—it’s not something you’ll easily source later.
