ZELUS Weighted Vest, 6lb/8lb/12lb/16lb/20lb/25lb/30lb Weight Vest with Reflective Stripe for Workout, Strength Training, Running, Fitness, Muscle Building, Weight Loss, Weightlifting

I previously purchased a different style of weighted vest, which you can adjust the weights. I really did not like the design of that vest because, although it was designed for women, I felt like it pulled down too much on the chest and that area certainly does not need to be pulled down! Haha! I was looking for one designed like this that where I could still adjust the weights. I ran into this one, which has been made popular since a certain brand of home exercise equipment has added a few treadmill workouts with weighted vests. I was worried I wouldn't like that you can't adjust the weight, but, so far, I really like it! I got the 15 lb one and it seems just right. I often work out in the AM or mid-day and am on a sports team in the evening. It's about a mile walk to exercise class, so, I wear this on the walk too and from, and sometimes do a 30 min stair run/walk after working out, or, just walk/jog back. This is perfect because I'm not worn out, but, you do definitely know you're putting in more effort. You can jog easily or walk, or, really do whatever you want. Other reviewers say they keep this on while doing household chores, for example. It does have a smell, but, I kept it outside for a few days on my balcony after I was done exercising and now it's fine. The second day I had it, I left it overnight in my car and it didn't make my car smell or anything like that. It is just the normal smell that comes with Neoprene. I think it's a good value for this kind of product. I bought this instead of another similar one because it came with a bag for your phone, etc., but, I admit I haven't used the bag. I use my normal crossbody bag over the weighted vest, so that the crossbody bag strap isn't trapped. It's a little awkward, but, it works for the short distances I've used it so far.

I purchased this 12lb gray camouflage weight vest to enhance my fitness routine and found it absolutely outstanding. I used it for a month during runs, bodyweight exercises, and half-marathon training, and the gray camo design adds a sleek, rugged vibe to my workouts. The vest is well-constructed with durable nylon and adjustable straps that ensure a snug, comfortable fit without slipping, even during high-intensity sessions. The 12lb weight is evenly distributed, making it ideal for adding resistance without feeling bulky. Compared to other weight vests I’ve tried, this one offers better breathability and a stylish look that stands out. As someone who loves vibrant, functional fitness gear (inspired by my passion for colorful aesthetics and active lifestyle), this vest is a game-changer. The reflective stripes, not emphasized in the listing, enhance safety during evening runs. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to boost their strength training or cardio with a stylish, reliable weight vest.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I liked the way it looked versus others because it rides high and does not come too far down my back or chest. The price was right as well for the 12 pound vest, because I had a $45 gift card I needed to use. I walk my dogs at least a couple times a day (six miles total) and I’ve been hearing Dr. Andrew Huberman talk about the benefits of walking with a weighted vest. I’ve included a couple of photographs to show how it rides kind of high, but it’s very comfortable. I had a difficult time getting it on because I have a nearly 50 inch chest and I am 5‘9“ tall to help you judge how it will look on you. The 12 pounds seems very light for a nearly 200 pound guy, so it probably is best for a small dude and ladies at this weight. Someone mentioned that it has an odd smell. It is not a bad smell, it’s kind of like a new car or new workout gear smell. Kind of industrial, but not unpleasant.It’s funny that in this photograph, my phone case, the shirt, and my watch all came from Amazon!

The weight vest I purchased exceeded my expectations. Not only is it durable and well-made, but it also adds the perfect amount of resistance to my workouts. It is comfortable to wear and has 12 lbs weights, making it suitable for people of different fitness levels. I have noticed a significant improvement in my strength and endurance since using this weight vest, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their workouts to the next level. The only downside is that it can get a bit hot during intense workouts, but the results are worth it. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend this weight vest to anyone looking to challenge themselves and improve their fitness.

This is a very comfortable vest. Seems to be well made. I did not use the phone holder pouch, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well this fits and how comfortable it is. I considered purchasing a vest where the amount of weight could be changed, but opted for this instead because it looked more comfortable. So, when I need more weight, I'll need another vest but I'm okay with that tradeoff and when the time comes I'll buy this one again in a heavier weight.
