APEXUP Weighted Vest with 5lbs/10lbs/15lbs/20lbs/25lbs/30lbs Weights and Reflective Stripe, Weight Vest Men Women for Workout, Strength Training, Running

Awesome product ! I have worn this vest several times while hiking, walking, doing aerobic exercises and weight training with a kettle bell and dumbbells. It adds that little extra that I need. I’m wearing the 10 lb vest. This vest is comfortable and the weight is distributed well. I was concerned it would pull on my shoulders and neck, it does NOT. The stitching is very well done. It has a mesh pocket in the back. Which is good to put a protein bar in or your keys when on a hike. I am 5’6” about 185 pounds large chested (38 DD) woman , the vest fits good. If positioned right, pulling the vest slightly higher than normal in the front to account for my chest so that the weighted part on the sides aren’t right up under my arms. The straps are a good length with more length if needed . It has a stretchy material around the sides under the arms to accommodate a larger size person, making it even more comfortable. I recommend this product if you’re looking to add to your work out routine. I will be buying again and upsizing to the next weight level when I’m stronger.

Just ordered this and went for my first walk and so far I love it. Of course I was nervous after reading all the reviews but am happy to report that my vest came in perfect condition-no leaking insides & no torn stitches. There is an odor but I think it depends how sensitive you are to odors in general & it isn’t bad enough for me to return it. I do have a residual smell on my shirt but I’m assuming it will all go away in time. I’m 61 years old, 5’3 and 120 lb. Work out 5x a week plus walk twice a day & in fairly good shape. I decided to go w/the 10 lb vest only because I have arthritis in my lower spine and really didn’t want anything heavier to aggravate it. It’s very comfortable, the weight is evenly distributed and super easy to use. I wanted a vest w/1 strap( which this does)-I live in a very hilly neighborhood and going up hill you can tell right away in your calves you’re carrying additional weight. My heart rate increases as well so it did what it’s suppose to do. Very happy so far.

I purchased this to stretch my spine while on my inversion table and it is doing just that. I have major back problems and letting gravity take over with 25 pounds on me has helped me loosen my tight spinal discs and I am beginning to walk with a straighter posture again. If you try this don't expect to last a long time upside down on your first try, I did maybe a minute before it was too much. But now I'm lasting almost 5 whole minutes! I definitely recommend this for inversion table use!

I walk and hike with this vest on, I notice the difference mainly in my legs, however, I feel it gives an overall full-bodied workout. I receive more of a workout in a shorter time period. It is surprisingly heavy to pick up of a flat surface to put it on. It doesn't hurt my neck, or rub uncomfortably against me. I would recommend this product.

The vest is exactly what I expected. I found it very easy to adjust the weight distribution was comfortable and provided the added resistance I needed to work on my goal which was to make walking more challenging and use as a low impact alternative.I expect in the next few months to improve my cardio and bone health.I would be remiss if I don’t share that I intend to use the vest 3 times one week , then 4 times the next and alternate every week thereafter, to prevent fatigue or even injury. It is a very good product and I’m happy with it.

Like this vest. The only slight issue is the location of the strap across the back hits on my shoulder blade and after wearing it leaves a small irritation spot there. I have sensitive skin with fibromyalgia so it is a personal issue.Strap across the front sits high enough that it does not cause an issue with the location across my chest. Comfortable to wear for a longer time than the other vests I have purchased. Does not slide backwards as my other vest does.

I think the best fits well. I ordered 10lbs - it was suggested to me to order less than 10% of your body weight. The best doesn’t rub when I walked. If speed walking it will bounce a little bit. It does have a smell like most people are saying. It’s kind of like rubber tires. It doesn’t really bother me though.

Bought the 5lbs vest. It fits comfortably. Easy to adjust for fit. Scent is very off putting of chemical smell, but can cover with an ace bandage while in use. Easy to put on and wear. I’ve worn it up to 8 hours in a day. I think I should have gotten the heavier weight, but I didn’t know and wanted my body to be prepared for the extra weight. I will buy the heavier one eventually. Has some stretch so will work for various sizes and adjustable strap in front as well.
