Prodigen Weighted Vest for Women and Men 8 12 16 20 25 30 Lbs with Reflective Stripe and Double Adjustable Buckle Straps Weight Vests for Strength Training, Jogging, Cardio, Weight Loss

I got this weighted vest mainly to make my daily walks more challenging, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The fit is excellent—it feels snug without being restrictive, and it doesn’t bounce around while I move. At 12 pounds, it adds just the right amount of resistance to help maximize my walks without feeling overwhelming. The material is comfortable and breathable, so I don’t get overheated, and it stays in place even on longer routes. I’ve already noticed I’m burning more calories and feeling stronger after a couple of weeks. Definitely recommend this vest to anyone who wants to level up their walks or workouts!

As someone new to weighted vests, this was the perfect starting point. I went with the 15lb version—honestly, it felt like a bit too much at first—but after a few walks, my body adjusted and now it feels just right. It’s been a great way to add a bit of challenge to everyday movement.The vest is very functional, with adjustable straps that help get a secure, comfortable fit. It’s small enough to wear under a jacket or sweatshirt, yet doesn’t feel overly bulky. The build quality is excellent—no sand leakage at all, which I know can be an issue with some other vests.Overall, it’s well-designed, durable, and easy to use. A fantastic option for beginners or anyone looking for a compact, high-quality vest to step up their fitness game

Just enough weight that I am not hurting, and getting a good walk. The vest is not tight on me and I have good movement. I am a little over weight, not muscular, but fat, and hope this will assist in making the transaction a little faster from fat to muscle. I am walking (fast walk) about seven miles a day prior to purchasing this vest. I tried wearing the vest yesterday and could only walk more than two miles (tired me out!). I thought not to push myself and get used to the weight and work myself up to where I was without the weights. I walk daily, so I do not believe getting used to the vest will take too long. There was a very faint smell, but not enough to bother me. There is no sand leakage. This vest provides me the right weight and resistance level. A good buy and investment for my health.

This is a very good weighted vest for the price. The quality is very good, and overall it’s not terribly uncomfortable. If you’re walking or running you’ll want to pull the straps tight. My only gripe is that it smells due to whatever material it is filled with to give it the weight. The odor isn’t terrible or foul, but it does smell and I can walk into the room it’s in and get a whiff every single day. It hasn’t dissipated since having it last four weeks, still present. I’m fine with it.I bought a 12lb to start out with. So for reference I’m 172 lbs and they say a good rule of thumb is to start w 10% of your body weight. I’ll tell you that I’m glad I started w the 12 pounder bc after the first two walks/ gentle workouts I could feel it was working. Wasn’t terribly sore, but definitely felt it the following day. Thats how I know it’s working!The fit is pretty good , but if you are larger busted, you might have some trouble with spillage between the two front straps across the chest or a uni- boob. I’m a DD cup and as you can see in pics it splits the girl’s horizontally. (I do have on a banded sports bra) It doesn’t bother me though bc I’m 49, finally love my body, and don’t go to the gym to impress anyone other than myself! My only question is that if I was to wear a tank top, would my arms rub against the sides, causing chafing? I won’t know until we’re in the warmer temps.Overall, I am pleased with the product. It serves the purpose, and I am looking forward to growing into heavier, weighted vests as I continue my strength training, and I’ll likely but this brand again.

When I first received my vest I just wore it around for household chores to get used to it. Those first couple days I wondered whether I picked the right weight, seemed too heavy. I have been healing from an ankle injury, and wondered if it was too much for my ankle. I finally started feeling more comfortable around the house, so I wore it on a short dog walk. My ankle felt a little sore, no big deal. Continued to wear it on longer walks, as much as my ankle could handle. I’m now walking 3-4 mi a day in it, and in general, I have a significant reduction in my ankle pain. Once it became the “norm” on my daily walks, when I forgot it, I would turn around and put it on. Now it feels weird to go on my walks without it. Fits nicely, weight feels balanced btn front and back. No chafing. I haven’t worn sleeveless tops with it yet, so that may change. It fits under my down vest, I’m in Denver, we wear puffy vests almost year round. 😂 highly recommend.

When I pulled this out of the box, I thought it might be too heavy. I chose the 12 pound according to the guidelines and reviews. Once I put it on, and the weight was distributed evenly across my chest, I realized it was good. It’s very easy to use and adjust. This worked very well for me, even though I am on the thinner side, with a larger chest, sometimes vests are tough to get the right size but this worked great with room to spare. I chose the black which I normally do when it comes to any kind of exercise gear and it’s good to know these have reflective lines. I’m not looking to stand out, but I do want to be seen by drivers at dusk. I’m very happy with this purchase. I’m excited to try something new.

Love this weighted vest!This is the perfect item for any lady on the go! As a busy mom, this vest has helped me burn extra calories, improve my posture, and adds a little strength training while always on the go and without needing to change your routine. Comfortable, well-made, and easy to wear. Highly recommend!

I’m 5’9” 140lbs & workout 4+ days a week with running and weights. I ordered the 12lb vest for active recovery. I’m pleased with the product, it feels heavier than you’d think for only 12lbs but it’s a great addition to a walk. Can tighten or loosen to fit many sizes. Good value. No sand leakage. The padding is nice.
