The purpose of using a weight vest is to add extra weight for bodyweight exercises and to create an overload effect for walking, distance running or speed, agility and quickness (SAQ) drills. Research demonstrates that using an overload during sprinting or speed drills requires lower-body muscles to generate more force against the ground which could lead to gains in strength and power and ultimately faster acceleration during running. Weight vests are used by athletes to increase strength and efficiency during speed, power and agility drills and workouts producing a unique training effect that is unavailable with traditional free weight training equipment. They can also be used by casual walkers or runners

Good example of Bad design.
Its already been posted in a review so I can only concur. Its not a well adjustable product and there is a lot of hang over on the shoulders that makes it uncomfortable but not because of the weight if that makes sense. The straps don't evenly tighten so one side it tighter than the other which put pressure on your back which is a bad thing. The elastic straps under the armpit make it very hard to get in and out of. I don't recommend this product. But from reading other positive reviews I think its hit and miss on body type.

Velcro needs be improved
Comfortable fitting weighted vest. The Velcro strap that holds it around the body could be better at it is not strong enough to hold together when running. Annoying

weighted jacket
got for running to add an extra bit of difficulty, is well made and does the job but probably more suited to those of a broader shoulder then me as it doesnt feel as if it fits great here but apart from that is well worth a look

Fits like a glove
Got this to up the training regime, feels heavy at first but on the body it's great. Running with it defiantly makes you work harder.
