APEXUP Weighted Vest Men Women, Weight Vest for Women Workout Equipment for Strength Training Running

I love this weighted vest. I'm 5'4 160 lbs and I lift weights regularly. I got the 25 lbs version so that my husband and I could both get some use out of it, it fits us both well. I use it mostly while doing low intensity cardio, walking, or line dancing. It helps to increase my heart rate and adds resistance to my activities. The product is made well and the clips are easy to use. The weight is evenly distributed throughout the best so it does not make me feel off balance. Super comfortable. I would absolutly get another weight or buy this one again.

Pristine and well-packaged. Beautiful, bright yellow color will make me very visible on my walks, which is what I was hoping, as I walk on the gravel and paved roads around my rural homestead, and the drivers aren't often very careful. Also, there's the DUST I choke on quite frequently, so bright colors are a must. ;) The vest is heavy and will take some getting used to. It is just the right amount of "difficult" for an "older model" woman trying to be pro-active in building back some muscle mass, core strength, and bone density. It isn't quite 10% of my body weight, but it is enough to be getting on with. It's an odd sensation, making me feel a little top-heavy and wobbly, which I think will be outstanding in re-training my core. My shoulders are held at a much better position when walking with this weight on them, and I found that my hands didn't swell as much. (I've suspected impingement in my shoulders for years.) This is like wearing a heavy backpack, only the weight is much better distributed. It still fired up all the little muscles between my ribs and up and down my back to wear it, and I had to stop and adjust it several times to stop the cramping. But after about a 30 minute walk (much shorter than my usual walk), the cramping stopped and I felt great. I am going to LOVE this thing! I also wore it during a short bout of bodyweight exercises to re-train my hip and hamstring muscles, and let me tell you, they were definitely "shouting" for joy after just five sets of 30 second reps! Boy, do I have my work cut out for me, getting back into any kind of shape. But I'm hopeful that this very functional and practical way to incorporate weights into my life again without having to pay for a gym membership or other expensive equipment will do the trick. Or at least help. And the fact that this beautiful, pristine vest was "used" and still came in the full package without a mark or dent or tear made it a great value for the money. The only thing that is a bit of a downer is the outrageously appalling stench of the thing, and the fact that it is not water-resistant or water-proof. Walking in the rain will be very impractical with this on, as it is too bulky to wear under a rain jacket, and the packaging cautions against getting it wet. Now, that seems kind of silly from a design standpoint, to make an item that is likely to get very sweaty during one's workout not resistant to moisture, to say nothing of what one could get up to while rucking. I love to trail walk. There are often streams or unexpected rainstorms or other things that could potentially get the vest wet, and it would be super nice if the manufacturer would address this design flaw. In order to increase the versatility of the product, it really should be water resistant, at the very least, and downright water proof to make it a banger of a product. The price point is wonderful and makes it accessible to most, but this one flaw might be a deal-breaker and deprive them of a sale, so this really needs to be addressed, in my opinion. :) I will push past the horrific stench, because I have great confidence that this item will be a valuable addition to my arsenal in the fight against age, loss of muscle mass, loss of bone density, and the battle of the meno-belly. It's kind of fun to wear (even if I have to leave the bottom strap so loose it literally does nothing because I don't want The Girls crushed beyond recognition), & a lovely color so I feel less like a Space Marine and more like a woman in the fight of her life to retain some semblance of fitness as she faces the big 6-0 approaching much faster than she is ready for! Cheers!

I decided I wanted a weighted vest and looked at all the options I could find. This one seemed like a good choice, so I got the 10 lb one. Very comfortable and well made. And when a family member came over a few weeks later and saw what I’d bought, he said I picked a really good one - that this one was weighted in just the right way and was a quality item (trust me, when this family member approves, it’s high praise!) I ended up getting a 15 lb one as well. I will say that you need to start slowly with a weighted vest. If you haven’t worn one before, go with a lighter one at first and get used to it. I know there’s a temptation to think you need to start at a high weight, but this is not the time to over exert. The 15 lb was too much, too soon. I found that I was better staying with the 10 a bit longer. But whatever weight you end up with, I think this is a quality item that fits well, adjusts as needed and is something that will do exactly what you’re looking for.

Great vest for added weight! Very sturdy and built very good

Good vest for push-ups. It stays out of the way so you can lower yourself properly, whereas other vests I’ve used take up that space. It stays on pretty well and doesn’t move around either. I’m definitely going to continue using this. The only con is that it gives off an unpleasant chemical odor. Even after soaking it in a soap bath, spraying it down, and letting it dry in the sun, the smell is still there. It must be the materials they use inside. Other than that, it’s a good vest for the price.

Really impressed with the weighted vest. The weight is evenly distributed which makes it comfortable to wear on a walk, run or bodyweight exercise. The straps are adjustable and stay secure without digging into my shoulders. Great quality for the price I paid. And the sizing is perfect.

A bit uncomfortable for a smaller build person, 5”2ish , 115-125 lbs, but does the job for walking, hiking and biking but not a fit for running FOR Me. I also wear and fit children clothing… so, hopefully this will be helpful for some. I do like there is a mesh container in the back to hold keys, phone, etc. And the color is cute 🥰

Fits well with adjustable straps. The weight is accurate but may seem heavier if not use to it. Easy to put on and remove.

Veste lestée compacte qui laisse l'impression d'avoir un sac à dos lourd mais très bien ajusté sur le dos. J'ai acheté cette veste lestée (15 lbs) pour m'entraîner dans un sport de raquette : la veste lestée ne nuit PAS aux mouvements de l'épaule avec la raquette, même sur un terrain de sport. La veste ne couvre pas toute la hauteur du tronc (comme le ferait un sac à dos) : elle couvre plutôt la portion haute du tronc, mais laisse les bras complètement libres. Globalement, excellente répartition du poids, ajustement sur les épaules et confortable : très bon achat.

To be honest i bought this on sale .... but i would pay full price if it wasnt!!!! Had others try it on ranging weights of 280lbs to 190lbs And it fit everyone with the adustable straps and they ordered some as well after trying mine. ***The comfort is amazing!!!!**** i love wearing it throughout the day. I really am not a gym person or someone who runs nowhere(lol bless your heart if you do) this i can def do and not feel like im working out!!!

Love this item. Bought a few different ones to try out and this one was by far the most comfortable. Recommended to start with 10% of your body weight so I went with the 10lbs. Use when I walk inside on the treadmill and outside too.

Comfortable. Smell isnt so bad. Not too heavy so I could wear a whole day.

Got the 10lb for walk. Not to heavy and does the job. Like the little pouch at the back. I wear a little higher in the front and lower at the back due to chest size and strap.
