TONE Fitness Weighted Vest for Men & Women - Workout Vest for Walking, Running, Cardio & Strength Training | 8 lb or 12 lb Options | Multiple Colors

I highly recommend this 8-pound weighted vest by Tone Fitness. I first bought a highly rated adjustable vest but found it to be hot and uncomfortable. Because I only used a few weights, it felt unbalanced and hurt my back. I returned it and opted for this one. Though I would rather not have to slip it over my head, it is easy to don. The buckles work well and make it snug enough to prevent excessive movement while walking and lightly jogging. The hole in the back and the streamlined design make it cooler to wear. I was instantly pleased with how the weight is evenly distributed in front and back and from top to bottom allowing my whole torso to carry the weight. I knew the first time I wore it that it was a keeper. I was concerned that 8 pounds would be too light but at a little over 7% of my body weight it is perfect for me as a beginner. With my arthritis, foot and back issues, I must be careful not to use one that is too heavy. There is no unpleasant odor, something often mentioned in reviews of other products. I don’t know how long it will last, but it appears to be well-made. I couldn’t be happier, especially at the reasonable price I paid.

I love this weighted vest as opposed to the other style that wraps under your shoulders. Since this clips at your waist, it takes the weight off of your shoulders. I find I can wear this for longer periods as the weight is more evenly distributed across my body. I have the other type and my shoulders will start to hurt after a while. I wrap an elastic belt at my chest (the stretchy elastic no show belt) to help further distribute the weight off my shoulders. I have a small waist and I couldn’t pull it tight to fit, so the belt helps improve the fit as well. I’ve had to replace the clips, but I’m not sure if that was from so much use or possibly I stepped on it? When I replaced the clips, I made them so the fit is tighter. I find myself wearing this one over the other type since I don’t have shoulder pain when I wear this one. Seriously I could wear this all day and be comfortable.

Fits well, great to while on walks, jogging and running. This is one of my best purchases

3 weight vest comparison: Tone Fitness, CFFIT, MIR I'm on day 3 of the pink model, 10lbs heavier than the blue one. As some of you know, I wore each of my children in carriers—even tandem until the combined weight was 50% my body weight (at which time I decided that that was fine for short term fitness, bad for me long term). Then September 2015, and my workout partners were both in school. For Christmas that year, we bought the 30lb MIR vest. The difference between lifting 30-40lbs of child with 2 hands vs 1? Well, I couldn't easily do it. Then I looked at myself in the mirror—were I blonde and hazel eyed, like my youngest, no problem! Dark hair, eyes, and a non-European immigrant mother myself? Let's just say that these vests have pockets to insert the weights—similar to the ones that terrorists use. Since I'm tested for bomb making residue 100% of the time at the airports—randomly, of course—not a good vest for me. I kept it because mailing 30+lbs back would cost $50. Maybe my daughter can use it when she gets older? Or my spouse, even though it's shaped for a female? It was comfortable, but it took 25 minutes to put on and adjust. It's still collecting dust in our bedroom. (note: now that I have a nearly 40lb son I need to dead-lift out of the library, lifting 22-30 lb vests over my head is child's play) Having already spent so much, I went for the Tone Fitness 12lb vest; early 2016, it was $20 (currently $30). PROS: -Blue! -Fixed weight -Mesh pocket for purse (coach wristlet clipped to vest and stuffed in pocket) -Reflective tape -3 seconds to put on & adjust -easy to adjust to because it weighs slightly more than a newborn -cheap -good for walking/hiking, nothing which requires bouncing any higher than a standard walk -the "wrist weights", btw, I added a few months ago to move from 12-15lbs. Last week, one of the seams split & beads started coming out. I have narrow wrists, so had to put these on my forearms. I prefer ankle & wrist weights with Velcro and hooks, but these were poorly made & designed. CONS: -not a tight enough fit—would slide/rub, pulling up shirts to my bra line in back -fixed weight -lighter than either kid -there's already a hole in the fabric after less than a year -too loose of a fit for running, dancing, any aerobic activity On to #3: CFFIT pink 22lb, adjustable For the record, no, it can not hold the weights from the MIR vest. Because it is pink, it is $30 more than the men's version, but I need bright colours for my own safety. No instructions were included, but I figured out the back and front straps. For small to medium, only use 2 of the 3 straps. Differences from the blue one: 1. 10.2lbs heavier 2. Shaped like a ninja vest, so I look like Subzero's Barbie sister (if you ever played Mortal Kombat) 3. My shoulders hurt, but I think that's from the nylon having not yet softened 4. I'm sweaty—much tighter fit, so if you are a runner or cyclist, this will work 5. As it's a tight fit, finding the balance between close and I AM WINDED ALREADY is a challenge 6. No place for my wallet (thankfully, I have transitioned to pockets) 7. $66 more, but you can start with at little as 2.2lbs and work your way up to 22 (10 separate weights) 8. PINK! 9. Bulky, but I can rest my wrist on the side while holding my Starbucks cup 10. Unlike the MIR vest, you can not adjust the neck or arm holes. I'm of average height, but my under 5' friends and over 5'10" friends, plus anyone plus-sized, might have a problem with fit, even with the additional belt CONCLUSION: The Tone Fitness vest is best for beginners. If you have worn your children regularly, the CFFIT is a much better value. The MIR is like the CFFIT, but unless you're a natural blonde or have freckles, don't risk it.

Substantial quality and good weight distribution. I do feel it most across my shoulders, but it is still comfortable. I returned a $45 vest I also bought because the quality was identical.

This works well. It is made well and the weight seems to be distributed properly. I haven’t had issues with it yet

I like it. I've worn it while walking our two mile walk in the morning. And also during the day for about an hour. I like that i can tighten the tabs at the waist and then a lot of the weight is off my shoulders and on my hips...which doesn't feel uncomfortable at all for me. seems to fit me well. I'm 5'4" 115 lbs. i'm using it little by little to give my body a chance to get used to it.

Wore it for the first time for my workout. Had it on for about 1.5 hours. It's a good weight for what I'm using it for. I am not a runner so I can comment on how it would be on a run. It is slightly bigger in the back area so maybe it might flop around on a jog. Again that's just my guess because I'm not using for that. I am about 5'4" and about 150 and I am a size D. I was concerned about where that strap will sit but it sits above my chest ant the perfect height not uncomfortable around my breasts. The only complaint is that the elastic under the arms is a bit scratchy. Wearing a T shirt solved the problem. I might need to cut the sharp piece off next time. The "cell phone" holder on the chest strap is either for a small flip phone from the 90s or for a small iPod. There is no way a phone of today will fit. lol I did however try to squeeze my iPhone 7 plus and I had to giggle at that. Other than that the vest is great. Gave me a great work out and I can't wait to use it again. One thing I am concerned about is not being able to wash it. There is no way to remove the shell and clean it. I'm not sure how that will hold up with several sweaty sessions.

Fantastic for the money, feels soft but sturdy, I'm 4Ft 9" and i feel fully balanced when I'm wearing it.

Fits well and ergonomically comfortable. Excellent value and good product

its loosing sand everywhere

Buen producto pero para correr se mueve.. Seria bueno que se colocara vencro para sujetar mejor.. La limpieza se puede hacer con trapo humedo y secar a la sombra.

Realmente. Produto com ótimo acabamento. Ja testei e aprovei. Muito bom mesmo.
