ZELUS Weighted Vest, 6lb/8lb/12lb/16lb/20lb/25lb/30lb Weight Vest with Reflective Stripe for Workout, Strength Training, Running, Fitness, Muscle Building, Weight Loss, Weightlifting

i’ve been using this 12 pound weighted vest for a couple of months now, and overall I’m very happy with it. At first, it felt heavy and a little tricky to walk with on my walk pad, but I realized there’s a certain way to adjust it properly on your shoulders. Once I got the fit right, it became comfortable and easier to wear. It’s excellent for walking and even while doing task around the house. I haven’t tried it with strength training yet, but I can already tell it adds a good amount of resistance. The vest is adjustable, fits well, and I’ve noticed no bad smells. It does get sweaty, but that hasn’t been a problem, and it hasn’t stained my clothes. The only minor issue is that it can be a little tricky to adjust at times, but other than that, it’s a very solid vest that works well for me. I’m giving it five stars because it meets my needs and has only a small learning curve.

I love this weighted vest! I got it for Christmas and have been using it for walks and runs. It fits securely and still allows really good movement, which was my biggest concern. The weight feels evenly distributed and comfortable, and the 20lb option adds a great challenge without feeling bulky. This vest is incredibly effective at increasing the challenge of my workouts without feeling uncomfortable or restrictive. It's also got a pouch for your phone! 10/10

Weird smell at first but I think it's going away. Effective, comfortable, and adjustable across the chest. The cellphone holder can be annoying but it at least gives you the option to store your phone in the front if needed.

This vest has been a total game changer during my daily walks. The weight is distributed evenly and doesn't cause any shoulder or neck pain after wearing it for a few miles. The material is soft and comfortable on the skin, but it does have a very strong smell to it that I've noticed hasn't gone away. Ive even noticed the smell on my workout clothes when I take it off still lingers hours later. Other than the smell, this is a great weighted vest.

Great quality at a good price. I have noticed a difference when wearing this while walking on the treadmill. I find my heartrate gets into zone 2-3 quickly without having to walk faster just by wearing the vest and taking the incline up a bit. It's easy to adjust on the fly and is very comfortable. My husband uses it during his workouts for things like lunges and squats. The weight is evenly distributed throughout the vest so it makes it easy to stay balanced.

The quality is excellent, and it’s really comfortable to wear even during longer workouts. It fits well, stays in place, and feels sturdy without being bulky. Definitely a great choice if you want a reliable weighted vest.

Got the 20 pound vest. Probably should have started lower but I recently lost 20-25 pounds so thought I'd add it back for walking/hiking. I am 5'2 and 145 (now). The vest does have a fairly strong chemical odor but that seems to be going away after about a week. 20 pounds is a lot heavier than I anticipated and my joints immediately felt the weight suddenly being added back on!. The vest is pretty comfortable and the weight distribution is good. I use this on my 1-2 mile dog walks and for that it is very comfortable. I have tried it on a longer (6 mile) walk with a few hills and I do experience some shoulder/upper back discomfort, which I hope will go away once my body adjusts. I couldn't imagine running in it but I am sure some brave souls do so!

This is only 5% of my body weight, but I definitely feel it's effects. Hopefully it's helping me maintain bone strength which is why I purchased it as a post menopausal woman. Mary Claire Haver, the menopause specialist, recommends a weighted vest upwards to 10% of one's body weight for keeping bones strong after we lose estrogen. I'm not sure I could handle going up to a 12 pound weighted vest. This is well made and doesn't hinder my work as a stock person in a retail store. It isn't cumbersome and the clip mechanism is easy to use. I believe it's effective for us post menopausal ladies trying to hold onto our health!

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

So far so good. I’ve only used it twice so far when walking but I’m currently very pleased with it with it. It’s been comfortable. I was nervous about odor based on some of the other reviews. It had a slight smell when I first took it out of the box but nothing since. I didn’t realize it came with a “pocket “ you could Velcro on. It fits my iPhone no problem. I’m sure I could also fit my key and some tissues in there if I need to. I purchased the 12lb vest. Less than 10% of my body weight. I am glad I didn’t go heavier and my goal is for 12 to be 10% in a few months!

lo estoy usando para caminar, es muy bueno, se ajusta muy bien y no se mueve. excelente calidad

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.
