Hyperwear Hyper Vest ELITE Fully Adjustable Weight Vest - Stretch CORDURA® Fabric Zipper Thin Steel Weights - Weighted Vests for Running, Strength, Endurance, Walking - Sizes S, M, L, XL

I have now had this vest for over 2 months. I didn't know if I would use a weight vest consistently, so prior to this one I decided to try the Tone fitness one at 8lbs. That one goes over the head and sits at the waist, and I liked it a lot (some may not like the weight on the clavicle area though). Since that one is static weight, I decided to try this one once I decided I enjoyed using a weight vest.I liked that it used metal weights and was adjustable. I previously bought the Pro version via "used" on Amazon but when I got it it already had some tiny holes in it. I decided to fork out the money for the pro version and it feels MUCH more durable. I didn't get the other one they have designed for women because the weights are in 2.5 increments and are sand, as well as not as distributed over the torso/back - but that one did look nice at half the price.At the time of purchase, I was 156 lbs, 5'4", size 10/12 (woman) with a short torso. I got a medium and it fit with about 2-3 inches of cord. Its very compressive, which is great because I have shoulder pain and I noticed the weight didn't sit at my shoulders at all but very evenly distributed. No issue with the clip on the cord moving as older reviews state; the clip has been changed and is not the same as the picture. It doesn't budge. The logo is also white, not orange.10 lbs is a nice weight for walking - it actually comes in closer to 11 lbs. I am not washing the vest, as taking and reinserting the weights would be tedious. I like that this is likely the last vest I will ever buy - as I get older, I can take weight out as needed. The packaging is pretty cheap - just a plain cardboard box, but I guess they save money on packaging.No hot spots on the best, but your mileage will vary depending on your body shape (and how it changes). I thought the corners in the armpit area would be annoying, but it's been fine. I wear it with a workout tank underneath for my walks.All in all, for durability, flexibility of weights, weight distribution, and value for those things,I think this is the best weight vest out there. I looked at others that seemed much cuter, but they were only a static 5lbs (and pricier!) and that wasn't going to cut it for me.

As one who walks daily for fitness, in order to add some additional challenge to my workouts, I recently decided to purchase this weight vest. After using it daily for a few months now, I'm happy to report it was an excellent decision. This vest is well made, easy to put on, easy to add or remove weight as desired, and has held up to months of daily use with no visible signs of wear. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone who is seeking to add a weight vest to their toolbox!

I like the weights are distributed across the vest and I can adjust the weights up or down depending on my needs. It really helps with stepping up your workouts.

This is the best vest I have ever used out of many. I like that it is low profile, and feels natural on my body. The even weight distribution takes off alot of the discomfort and pressure points I find as a problem in most other vests that discourages me from exercising with it.. This vest also has virtually no smell, and is made out of non-toxic nylon. No off-gassing. The weights are made of steel, and have no odor too. Zero toxic smell, which is what I love, but have a hard time finding in any other weighted vest.If it's not the discomfort of weights bouncing around or pushing in all the sensitive body parts, some other vests tend to have flaws such as: being filled with metal sand, so to prevent rust, the company soaked it some toxic anti-rust oil, which gives it a strong smell, that stays for a very long time. That is why I choose this vest, because it's not bad for my health.While this does feel much more comfortable than any other vest due to even weight distribution, I feel that they should include some thicker padding for the areas near the top of the shoulder, near the neck area that hold most of the pressure. If you wear it a long time, you can feel the pressure add up in your Trapezius muscle. So what I did to work around that is buy this shoulder pad for $10, and used it with it. That fixed the problem.TEHOKARM 2 Pack Tactical Shoulder Strap Pad Vest Shoulder Strap PadsAlso, I am male 5,9, 170lbs, and normally can wear a medium T-shirt, but the Medium is way too tiny for me, since I have a strong back and wide shoulders. The Large did fit better, but I still feel that it should be a bit wider, so hopefully the Xtra-Large will fix the problem. They size these pretty tight, so go up a normal size if you are a male, especially since they labeled these as Uni-Sex.I think if they include thicker back-pack padded straps around the shoulder area, this would be the most awesome vest ever. For now, I have to do a generic hack by buying the: TEHOKARM 2 Pack Tactical Shoulder Strap Pad Vest Shoulder Strap Pads, and inserting them. Would prefer built in thick pads.Overall, I don't think a better vest exists for comfort, even if it's just a tiny bit uncomfortable near the traps area, and if they added more padding to the shoulder strap area, they would be miles ahead of the competition. For someone wearing it all day long, that is a must.

nice fit, except for top side lace under arm. I am 6' 215 lbs. Not overly large in the chest area. But I needed to replace the vest to NOT use the top 2 lace holders, to fit under arm without binding. Placement and arm cutouts to small. Thinking of taking to a seamstress person and modifying.LOVE, the compactness, quality, and over comfort. Will use not only for cardio, but weight training also. Will also add to daily activity when shopping, yard work, etc.Would recommend.

Extremely comfortable. Best weighted vest I have used.
