Picked this up a few days ago to replace a lighter vest that was too fiddly( too many tiny weights), did n't hang the weight comfortably or tightly( I 'm 5' 9 '' and 160lb, athletically muscled with a 31 '' waist and S- to- M shirt size), and was exceedingly dorky looking. Having tested this on a hike and loading at- home weightlifting, I 'm very pleased. Pros: 1) 75lbs is a solid amount of weight at a reasonable cost.$ 200 is same as the 60lb Ethos vest, and much less than plate carrier and vest systems you need to buy weight for separately. Enough mass to progress with for a while. 2) reasonably finely adjustable but not fiddly. 3lb and 6lb increments mean you can dial in progressive overload well, without having to mess around with a ton of weights that take excessive time to load/unload. 3) pocket and weight system is very easy to use and adaptable. Big velcro pouches could fit other things- if you want to be able to increment in other multiples of 5#, buy or make( e. g. sand in a ziploc) yourself a 2lb or some 1lbs and they 'll fit securely no problem. Weights included are tightly packed sand, I think, inside of vinyl plastic containers, so you could probably also make/buy denser weights- lead fishing weights or shot, for instance- to get it even heavier than 75#. 4) I love the fit system. It has a zip on the front, and a single very large velcro waist belt that can be pulled as snugly as you like. I have n't tried any inverted exercises or jogging, but the attachment and fitment system should get tight enough to support that. Sits very comfortably, placing the weight nicely on the strong part of the shoulders, and you have two ways to get it on/off( overhead with the zipper left zipped, or unzip and take off like a jacket). Note my sizing above- other than the waist belt there's limited adjustability to the chest circumference, so YMMV. 5) style. Look, no one's winning runway shows wearing a weight vest. You 're going to look like cosplay SWAT or a terrorist. But, this one is n't bad- it's bulky like all heavy weight vesta but carries it nicely distributed around the body, and is certainly is not the most ridiculous vest I 've seen. Can also easily throw a light fleece vest over the top of it What would I change if I were a product designer: 1) I can not comment yet on durability, which I see was a ding on the 60# from Ethos on this site, so will be looking out for fraying. 2) it does n't have a cell phone/ keys pocket. I would n't trust the weight pouches for keys( they have gaps at the corners), and they load sideways while being too short for most modern smartphones. Wear something else with pockets to keep your phones/snacks/earbuds/etc in. 3) I wish it had a loop on the back/at the neck to hang up for easier loading/unloading 4) it does n't have any D- rings or similar built- in attachment points to hang stuff off, for added modularity.

It ’s durable, well balanced, easy to put weights in and out and it doesn ’ t rub. I use this vest on runs and to do some workouts. Very pleased with the product!

5 Cardio
The weight if the vest is super adjustable if you need to work your way up to the 75lb weight. This also has a zipper to put it on like a vest rather than having to lift the weight over your head to out it on.

5 fitnessgirlie97
This is a great adjustable vest from the wear to the adjustable weights

5 JumboV
Knew this vest weighed up to 75lbs but nice that you can remove weight to get down to approx 2- 3LBs.

Works better than I imagined. Have used it daily for nearly 3 weeks now, and am ahead of my goals so far. Seems durable and comfortable. Can be adjusted for various body types and strength levels. Would recommend starting off with a small amount of weight, and building up over time, so not to risk stress or strain to your joints. Also, fill your lungs with air while strapping it on, that way you can still take deep breaths while working out.

5 wagger
I really feel the difference walking with just 10 lbs of extra weight. I did n't expect the difference to be so significant. I am also very impressed with the quality in which the vest was made

5 Nitro Fit
I had been looking for a weighted vest for a while and saw that they had this one at the store. So glad I bought this when I did. It's comfortable, customizable with the weights and does the job.

5 Haley
Has weights you can adjust through the vest or take out.

5 SunLover2
I bought this vest because it had the best combination of features. It is adjustable in both fit and weight selection. Adding 10 pounds increased my heart rate by ten beats per minute and thus burned more calories. I like that I can increase the weight as I get stronger and more fit. The reflective strip on the back of the vest is a great safety feature. Strongly recommend.

I love this weighted vest! I use it to do both house chores and on walks. The 20 lbs feels like plenty of weight and I am easily able to remove the sandbags if I need to lighten it. I like the way the velcro wraps all the way around and it can be taken off from the side, or front. The material is very sturdy and seems like it would be more expensive than$ 50- I found this to be a great deal! I can increase the weight if I purchase heavier sandbags, but 20 lbs seems like plenty!

Love it! The velcro straps hold the vest in place very well and the weight is distributed evenly.

I tested the 40 lb adjustable weighted vest and was happy with the quality and material that was used in this product. The design fit my body well and it was very comfortable to wear when I walked around. I would use this product to build strength and assist with other training exercises.

Very comfortable and feels like quality, durable material. The weight is adjustable, so it is easy to find the right amount for your activity. I also like the black color that will hide your sweat stains as you work out.

I got this vest for Christmas and I use it everyday almost. It is easily adjustable and durable

5 NewYorkWalker
Used it for the first time yesterday. It has a lot of straps for easy customizable sizing. It was snug and comfy against my body as I walked/ ran/ did stairs, etc. My only question is, where can I buy heavier ETHOS plates? For example, say I want to increase the weight to 30 from 20? How would I do that. I ca n't find ETHOS plates anywhere.

This is a great vest. It is perfect for walking. The 20lbs are the right amount of weight. I am 6 ’ 2 ” and big, this adjusts geeat to any sixe.

Adds an additional condition to your walk. Makes you work a little harder- breathe a little harder. Do n't have a lot of time to work out so need to make the most of the dog walks. I now have a weighted vest and ankle weights. My speed walk with my dogs is now a work out for me too. Have n't washed the vest yet- ca n't comment on that.

5 seafan
I was very pleased with the prompt delivery. This vest is comfortable to wear and gives me a nice work out. I like the extra weight for the light resistance and gentle `` impact '' it provides to build muscle and bone strength. I even bike ride with the vest. I 've had mine over 2 years, and it is finally showing some age... slight gives and tears in fabric, but hey, I 've put it through the ringer... use it 3 to 4x a week. I never did use the water bottle attachment though. Too floppy. UPDATE: So my first review was 7 years ago. I bought another vest because I finally am seeing some wear on the Velcro straps on my first vest. It is still usable, but over time, it has gotten dirty and I figured just get another one. I still bike with it but I am also power- walking up hills with it. I love that the weights are dispersed on the back and front because then you do n't have an uneven pull just on your back and risk injury. This vest is solidly made- the stitches in my older vest never tore( although the fabric thinned creating small holes where the weights constantly rubbed during the work outs- but after 7 years of excessive use- that's nothing!). My new vest is black. At first I thought I 'd be disappointed because black holds in heat vs the grey, but then it also wo n't show dirt as much either. This vest is only$ 5 more than when I bought it 7 years ago. This company puts out reliable product that reflects highly on their standards and excellent design.

5 Rodriguez
It is well built and easy to adjust. I use it daily since i ca n't make it to the gym. It makes everyday activities a bit more of a workout. I like the removable bottle holder its a perk i was not expecting! would like a little more weight but cant complain for the price!

5 M T
Item was just what I expected. Comfortable to wear👍🏼

I 've had this weighted vest for ten years now and I really enjoy it. I am not a fitness gym type person- I do n't regularly spend time in a gym or lift weights. I wanted something to add to my walking routine to build some resistance. This vest is excellent- it evenly distributes the weight and you can add weight to it, or take weight out of it. the sizing is really good( I 'm like a 10/12 pants but closer to an XL for the bust area). I hang it on a strong, think plastic or wooden hanger. I can do work around the house and wear it at the same time. This is the time of year where I realize I 've put a little too much padding on with the winter chill and this vest helps me get back into shape. And I do n't need a replacement even after 10 years this Feb, 2022.

Frequently Asked Questions For Heavyweight Vests

Heavyweight vests are primarily designed to add extra weight during workouts, enhancing the intensity of exercises. They are commonly used in strength training, running, and other fitness activities to improve endurance and build muscle. Additionally, they can be beneficial for activities like hiking or bodyweight exercises, providing an extra challenge.

Heavyweight vests are often constructed from durable materials such as nylon, polyester, or neoprene, which provide both comfort and longevity. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand wear and tear during rigorous activities. Some vests may also feature padded sections for added comfort and to help distribute weight evenly.

Choosing the right weight for a heavyweight vest depends on your fitness level and the type of workouts you plan to do. Beginners may want to start with a lighter vest to ensure proper form and prevent injury, while more experienced users can opt for heavier weights to increase the challenge. It's important to gradually increase the weight as your strength and endurance improve.

Many heavyweight vests come with adjustable features that allow users to customize the weight according to their fitness needs. This adjustability makes them versatile for various workouts and fitness levels. Users can add or remove weight plates or adjust built-in weights to find the right balance for their training.

Heavyweight vests can be suitable for a wide range of fitness levels, but it's essential to consider individual strength and experience. Beginners should start with lighter weights to avoid strain, while more advanced users can benefit from heavier options. It's always advisable to consult with a fitness professional if you're unsure about incorporating weighted vests into your routine.
