Versatile vest August 16, 2008
EGC
My principle form of exercise is daily long walks (sometimes including a short run) with my dog. I bought this vest to add resistance, and it does just that. I started with a very small amount of weight in the vest (maybe 5 lb) but am up to 10.5 lb now. The vest feels heavy when you lift it up to put it on, but once it's on, I really notice it only on hills. For the first few weeks I didn't do any running at all in it, but I ran in it today and found that it's critical that when you tighten the velcro belt (essentially how the weight is supported, not on the shoulder straps) you do it evenly (same amount of stretch on both sides) or the vest really bounces around and moves (uncomfortably) off to one side. Once I fixed that problem, it was fine. I was also afraid at the beginning that the shoulder straps might bother me if I was wearing a tank top, but there are no issues at all with the shoulder straps. I'm very glad I bought this vest.

okay vest but.. July 31, 2008
prndandrdo1 (los angeles ca)
I had bought this vest primarily for pushups but when i tried it on i had noticed that most of the weight was positioned on my mid to lower back area. i was concerned that a.) it may end up causing my form to be compromised and b.) i may also end up ultimately injuring my self or at the very least not reaping the full benefit. otherwise i supposed itd be an okay vest for other exercises that didn't matter if it hung a little low eg pullups, dips.. maybe.. i would NOT recommend this for running or even walking unless you keep your back straight and have perfected your form as you may injure yourself with the lower center of gravity and weight. so at the end of it all i decided to return it and go with the "mir short style vest" that was twice as much but was designed with (virtually) all the weight on the upper back and chest area (which may in fact be superior to most vests out there..) hope this helps!

I bought this vest for my husband who is an avid runner. he had to return it, as he found it to be uncomfortable. it moved around too much as he was running.

Okay, I am a female and have been walking for more than 10 years now, and needed to step it up without a gym or in home machine...
After my first try of this vest, I realize it makes you hotter because of the material its made of which is vinyl-like. So be prepared to heat up much faster when wearing this vest.
My shoulders are what notice the weight the most- I figured that. They get sore within the first minute of wearing the vest. But then again I also do not use a backpack to school for that same reason-- I have weak shoulders that get very sore very quickly.
But those are the ONLY 'negatives' to this vest-- otherwise I wouldn't even notice I was wearing it at all!
I just hope it helps me to lose my extra weight. :)

Comfortable and really easy to use. Weights are easily removed and put back in when ready. Really good product for the money.
