Can I run in it?

How do I clean it?
Take the pouches out first. Spot-clean the vest with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry. Keep the iron-sand pouches dry.
What is in the box?
The weighted vest and six 1 lb weight pouches.
Who should check with a doctor first?
Talk to your doctor before using a weighted vest if you have a back, neck, joint or heart condition, are pregnant, or are recovering from an injury. Stop if you feel pain.
My Dr. recommended that I need to strengthen my back and spine and she said a “wear an adjustable weighted vest for a walk would help”I ordered this. Quantity seems to be good. Easy to put on. Able to adjust so it fits my body. I am staring with the set weight + 2 weighted pouch to begin- so far so good.
I wanted a vest that evenly distributed the weight front & back so as not to overcorrect on posture. This vest not only meets that criteria but also, beings the sand is sewn into the shoulder straps, makes it super comfortable to wear for longer times. I absolutely love it & wish i had gone with the heaviest one. The sand bags can be removed & added back in as you build yourself up. Easy to remove sand bags, yet secure when wearing.
This review is based of off first time use and purchased based on other reviews too. So far so good. It’s already weighted from the get go, so don’t add any extra until you’ve used it. Used it for my regular walk and you definitely notice the difference, so will walk for a week then add extra weight. Make sure you adjust so it’s snug enough, but not too tight. It does slip back ever so slightly, but it’s still comfortable. I will update review as needed.
I'm so far pleased with the vest. Can't say if it has actually made a difference on my physical as of yet. It's been to early to see. However the straps are hard to assist..tension
Great weight workout. It’s portable and you can remove weights to keep you from overtraining and getting hurting yourself and let’s you build the level you need to be at
Mine only came with 3 weight packets but the picture shows 6.Otherwise product is fine.Nothing outstanding--works as it should.Sits a little heavy on the shoulders but I have a long torso.Shorter torso friends tried it and it was more balanced on them as the weight distribution is different. There is no way to adjust for that.
Fit him perfectly! Cannot see this weight working well on a petite person. I believe it would be too large. He also likes how the design keeps the weight up against his body. Said it feels more stable that way!
I chose this weighted vest after much research online. The cut of the vest keeps it from rubbing my underarms. The pockets for the additional weights are well-placed. I have osteopenia and have read so much about the value of additional weight-bearing like this vest offers. I have been wearing mine WITHOUT additional weights just yet—I wanted to add them slowly. I purchased the 4-10 lb capacity vest. I am so glad I went with this weight. I have a thin build and rickety bones; I have worn this for my 1-1/2 hr daily walks for the past week without any major problems (just an echo of a little achiness in my thoracic and neck, but it is all gone by morning). I will be anxious to see what my next bone density scan shows!
I love it and use it every morning. I worked in an office behind a desk for a small company which grew to a big company and because of that I exercised very little. Now with the help of the weighted vest I am getting the exercise I missed for the past 40 years.
This is wonderful! Looks like the picture and serves its purpose workouts never been better! And it fits well. You can adjust it to your comfortability
Love this weighted vest. Room in front for keys and phone. Reflectors for evening walk. Ability to add on weights a little at a time. Comfortable enough.
Very nice vest. Good quality but I'll have to see how it holds up. As reported, the vest has a strange smell to it, but I use it outdoors so not an issue for me.
To make walking more enjoyable I purchased this. I dropped the weight to the 4lb level and have been using it for my daily walks as well as recently around the house. At first, you definitely get exhausted more quickly, but after two months now it has become second nature.
This was a good purchase. The main reason I went with the was the customizable weights. I’m 56 y/o and want to increase the weights gradually over several months. The vest is very comfortable, balanced well. I’m 5’6, 145lbs….and fits well. During my walks, it doesn’t slide…feels stable on the body. Seems well made. In about another couple weeks or so when my body gets used to the base vest, I’ll add more weights. The pocket is a nice touch to put small items like a phone or keys.
This vest is comfortable to wear and allows you to build up to the maximum weight. Adjusts well to hold the vest to your body. Something to consider if you have any upperbody mobility, make sure you have the strengthen to lift it over your head to get it on.
This vest is too heavy and weighs 11.2 lbs without any weights added! I am a woman and tried walking a mile without extra weights and by the end of my walk my lower back was hurting. I could work up to the weight if it was lighter to begin with. I did not realize how heavy this was to begin with, and should have ordered a lighter vest.
This is great for resistance. I used this for the first time with my normal daily walk (no jogging, power walking kind of walk) but just a brisk walk and the man could I feel a difference! It's like I had a full body workout. It felt like you feel when you do laps in a swimming pool. You don't realize how much work you're doing to your body until you get out and or feel it the next day. You feel great on the inside of your body too. I would definitely recommend it.
