I’ve been using the 20 lb version of this ZELUS weighted vest, and it’s been a great addition to my workouts. The weight is distributed evenly, so it feels balanced instead of awkward, and it stays in place whether I’m walking, doing bodyweight exercises, or going for a run. The fit is comfortable, and the adjustable straps make it easy to get it snug without restricting movement. The vest feels durable and well made, and it has held up great through regular use. It’s also easy to put on, take off, and carry around when I need it. If you’re looking for a weighted vest that fits well, is comfortable, and adds a solid challenge to your workouts, I definitely recommend the 20 lb version. It’s been a great value and exactly what I was looking for.

I’ve been using this 12 lb weighted vest for my workouts, and it’s been a great addition to my routine. The weight is enough to make walks, bodyweight exercises, and cardio more challenging without feeling overwhelming. The vest fits comfortably, stays secure during movement, and doesn’t bounce around while I’m working out. The weight is evenly distributed, so it doesn’t strain my shoulders or back. I’ve used it for walking, squats, lunges, push-ups, and stair climbs, and it has held up really well. The material feels durable, and it’s easy to put on and take off. If you’re looking to increase the intensity of your workouts, burn a few extra calories, or build endurance, I think a 12 lb vest is a great starting point. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this weighted vest to anyone looking to take their fitness routine to the next level. It’s comfortable, well-made, and delivers exactly what it’s supposed to.

This product was so much heavier than I thought it would be. I was so very tempted to return it because it was too challenging to get on. I'm glad I didn't. It was just the challenge I needed. I learned how to lift it onto a small side table with wheels, then I rolled that to the kitchen counter to lift onto that surface just so I can lift it onto my body. Over time, I eventually was able to lift it straight off the floor and onto my body. That was a major milestone for me in itself. I wear it often and I am very happy with the functional strength it has provided me. I love it in so many ways, it's kinda emotional. It fits well with the straps, and the mesh pockets are conveient. It's was a great investment for my healthy and my future.

The ZELUS weighted vest is a solid addition to any home or outdoor workout routine. It feels well balanced when worn, and the weight is distributed evenly so it doesn’t shift around too much during movement. I like that it comes in multiple weight options, making it easy to choose the right level for walking, running, or strength training. The material feels durable, and the reflective stripe is a nice safety feature for early morning or evening workouts. The fit is adjustable and secure, so it stays in place during exercises like squats, lunges, or brisk walks. It also doesn’t feel overly bulky, which makes it more comfortable for longer sessions. Breathability is decent, though it can get warm during intense workouts which is expected for a weighted vest. Overall, it’s effective for adding resistance to improve endurance, strength, and calorie burn without needing a full gym setup. For the price, it offers great value and versatility. A reliable option for anyone looking to level up their fitness routine with added resistance training.

We opted for the 20-lb vest for hiking and treadmill / outdoor walking. Everyone is the family uses it at least for treadmill walks (our 10-year old likes it a lot for treadmill walking). Weight Surprisingly the vest weighs in at exactly 20 lbs on our home scale. By comparison, a 30-lb kettlebell weighs 30.6. So either the 20-lb vest is .4 under, or the kettlebell is .6 too heavy and the vest is perfectly 20 lbs. Fit & Uses Not flashy or loud, this vest is unassuming and seems to focus on getting the job done. We wish there was a second strap that connected the lower portion of the vest. There is only a strap that clips across the upper chest. When running, the lower area moves around a lot more than desired. It's not very good for making certain exercises more challenging, like yoga or rock climbing. Because it has just the one strap along the top, the entire vest moves a lot if you are inverted or just about any position other than upright. If wearing it during weight lifting or body weight exercises like push-ups, the bulk of the vest can get in the way because the weight is packed into, and distributed, under the arm pits and sides on the vest. This is great for more balance when upright just walking or some low intensity running, but it means your arms constantly rub against these parts of the vest. Smell Out of the box, there is a noticeable chemical or oil/gasoline like smell. My wife smelled it strongly. I smelled it mildly, but it's definitely there. Some say that it will go away after a "little while". Not sure how long that really is, because nearly 2 months later, there is still the same smell. The vest was even accidentally left out in 2 days of rain. After drying it on low (using a shoe rack in the dryer), the smell persist. A bit less now, by it has not gone completely away. Some people how are more sensitive to this type of scent may find the vest too difficult to wear. I'm able to ignore it and use the vest, as the smell is not so strong for me. Exercise I mostly use it for speed walking on the treadmill with 3% incline. Getting the vest was intended to help me reach higher heart rates without having to run or use very high inclines (ankle injury). Previously, I could reach an average HR of about 115 bpm. With the vest on, and the treadmill at the same settings, my HR averages about 125. So a decent improvement without forcing a higher incline or speed that would cause my ankle injury to be more painful. I should have probably gone with a 25-lbs vest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Transformative Workout Tool — Balanced, Comfortable, and Surprisingly Versatile After weeks of using the ZELUS 16 lb weighted vest, I can say with full confidence: this vest doesn’t just add weight — it adds purpose to your training. Whether you’re walking for weight loss, rebuilding endurance, or challenging your strength, this vest meets you where you are and pushes you forward. ⚖️ Well-Engineered Balance Makes the Difference Unlike bulky, awkward vests I’ve tried in the past, this one is thoughtfully designed. The weight distribution is perfectly balanced, front to back, so there’s no tipping, pulling, or shoulder strain. It feels secure and intentional — every movement feels enhanced, not hindered. This is especially helpful during: • Uphill walking • Squats and lunges • Core work • Modified HIIT exercises 🔒 Stays in Place — No Shifting Mid-Workout The adjustable straps and snug, contour-hugging fit make a huge difference. I can do jumping jacks, climb stairs, or even bend into yoga poses without the vest bouncing or riding up. That security lets me focus on my form and breath, not on adjusting the gear. 🧵 Built to Last — Sweat-Ready & Durable The neoprene fabric is breathable, flexible, and durable, which matters when you’re pushing your limits. I’ve worked out with it in humid outdoor weather and during indoor bodyweight sessions — it doesn’t trap heat or stink up. After several sweaty uses, it still looks and smells like new. That’s rare. 💡 More Than Just Extra Weight — It Builds Intentionality One of the most surprising benefits? Mind-muscle connection. With just 16 lbs added, every step becomes deliberate. It turns a casual walk into conditioning. It transforms squats into a power move. You feel your body working smarter and harder, not just heavier. ✅ Final Thoughts: This isn’t just a weighted vest — it’s a versatile fitness upgrade. Whether you’re walking in a weighted vest for fat burn or doing strength training without the gym, the ZELUS 16 lb vest is an excellent choice for real results. 🧠 Who It’s Great For: • Beginners building endurance gradually • Busy parents adding resistance to daily movement • Athletes cross-training at home • Women looking to increase core, leg, and glute engagement 💯 Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I repurchase it? Yes — and I might get a second one just for park workouts. This vest has become part of my weekly rhythm—and that’s what progress looks like.

Perfect for when I go on walks. Get ready to sweat. Easy to put on and take off. Love it.

Wearing a weighted vest during my walks has been a game changer. I have a 10 lb and a 25 lb. Vest. The 10 lb is pretty light and I barely notice when I'm wearing it and the 25 lb is a good workout. So it's good to have options and choose the one that fits your need.

I wanted a weighted vest to help me keep calm and focus. The market for adult vests is quite niche. I ordered the 4lb vest because I wanted to keep the impact on my shoulders less. It feels like wearing a backpack with a few books in it. I am a smaller person so the front clip was a good fit, but for larger chest sizes the vest strap my not fit. The extra phone strap thing is cool. The zippers clink together and make noise, so I covered on in tape. Would not recommend using while jumping.

it's about 1 week i have walked with this and i can feel tightness in my core .. nice one

Me encantó no se siente el peso, y está muy cómodo para hacer caminata al aire libre o en aparato

I started running and working out with this forgot I’d have it on until I felt the extra burn. Only issue I have is when you use it next to skin you get a bunch of black residue on your body. also could be a bit heavier but you get what you pay for.

Took it out for a test run! Its comfortable, doesnt scrape or rub on your skin. definitely worth it for leveling up overall fitness levels.
