Good value, but with some annoyances May 07, 2011
By Reid Rivenburgh
The vest works pretty well especially for the price, but these things annoy me:
1. The little weights are a bit of a pain to get in their slots. If you wanted to add or remove a bunch of them, it would take awhile. The weights often don't fit that well, either, and the flaps that are supposed to cover them don't work very well. It seems like they cut corners in the design or manufacture.
2. Because of the above, the weights sometimes fall out. Pick it up wrong, and half of them could end up on the floor.
3. The velcro flaps that are supposed to fold over your chest and keep the font and back together aren't that strong. If you do a motion like a pull-up, it might open up on you. For certain exercises, such as one where the weight of the front portion lays against the flaps, nothing I can do will keep them together. This may have something to do with my shape, since I'm pretty thin.
Overall, I'd give this 3.5 stars. With a better design of the flaps and velcro, it would be 5!
EDIT: I took a closer look in a brighter room, and if you're careful to make sure the flaps are over the weights, the problem of bags flying out shouldn't be so bad. It takes a little more time, but it's worth it. I still think there has to be a better design, but to be fair, items 1 and 2 aren't as annoying as I portrayed, so I bumped this up to 4 stars.

Weighted Vest Aug 03, 2010
By A. Dalton
"AJ-Dalton"
Surprisingly well made and easy to incrementally increase weight in a front-back balanced manner - by about 3/4 pound per weight. The only improvement I might suggest is that a provision be made to adjust the shoulder pads so they would move closer for small people and wider apart for larger people. I believe that, in addition to taking the right type of Calcium and Vitamin-D, this vest is the best thing one can add to prevent osteoporosis - by just wearing it around the house or out walking.

Good for the price Jul 06, 2011
By Bradford C. Wicks
I purchased this vest a few months ago for lifting and cardio. I am quite pleased with my purchase.
Pros:
- I've found that it fastens comfortably across my torso for both cardio (running, stairs, etc.) and weight lifting.
- Highly reflective for outdoor exercise at night.
Cons:
- It's a tiny bit uncomfortable at first, as the weighted bags which come with the vest are clunky and stiff. I got used to this pretty quickly.
- The cell phone/MP3 pouch on the front of the vest is basically useless. The weighted bags are not forgiving, and it is quite small. It may be useful if you remove the weighted bags behind it, but the size is hardly enough for a small MP3 player.
If you're on the fence, this is a good choice.

 Very disappointed Mar 02, 2012
By J
Vest was purchased before Christmas for an active duty soldier in need of a weighted training vest. Despite less than five uses of regular wear (walking, running) and appropriate handling, the adjustable strap has almost completely separated from the vest itself, and weights have started to fall through the stitching. The stitch work on this product is insufficient to support the weights inside. Because the problem occurred outside of the window of time for Amazon returns, we will have to try and restitch ourselves to avoid being stuck with a useless product. Very disappointed with the quality; I do not recommend this vest to other buyers.

I love this weight vest. I saw a difference in my workout immediately. I even wear it when working around the house. It makes a huge difference in my heart rate and fitness level.
