APEXUP Weighted Vest with 5lbs/10lbs/15lbs/20lbs/25lbs/30lbs Weights and Reflective Stripe, Weight Vest Men Women for Workout, Strength Training, Running

This weighted vest is an excellent addition to my workout routine! It’s comfortable to wear, with adjustable straps that ensure a perfect fit. The weights are evenly distributed, allowing for natural movement without feeling bulky. It adds just the right amount of resistance to make exercises more challenging and effective. The materials are durable and breathable, so I can wear it for extended workouts without overheating. Great quality and well worth it for anyone serious about fitness!

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!

The fit is super comfortable and snug without being restrictive. No bouncing or chafing, even during HIIT workouts and in the crazy summer humidity. It’s easy to put on, adjust, and take off, and the weight is distributed evenly so it doesn’t strain my shoulders or back.I wear it during walks, bodyweight exercises, and even house chores for an extra calorie burn. I definitely recommend for anyone looking to level up their fitness routine without overcomplicating things.100% worth it. Also love the green color!

Fits very comfortably, is indeed a 30 lb weight fast, great for training for hiking and walking. And like all the other reviews it does stink so badly of petrochemicals. Its stored in a separate room from the rest of the house, hopefully the scent disappears in the coming weeks. From what I understand though, all of the weight vests out there of this type smell of petrochemicals. I wonder about the cancer risk. Anyways four stars minus one star for the bad smell

This has been a game changer for my daily walking! I've noticed a huge change in my legs and my leg strength using this vest to walk each day. It's got a pocket to store your phone or whatever else you may need to bring with you. It's comfortable to wear, even on long distances.

The vest is really comfortable and the weight distribution is good. I started with a 10lb vest that i purchased last year and recently purchased the 20 lb vest. They are good for increasing cardio load and adding something extra when your workout is becoming less challenging. For the record, I am a petite female. While the 20 lb vest is a little bulky, it still fits well with the straps tightened all the way.

The media could not be loaded. I didn't want to jump on this bandwagon, but I'm certainly glad I did. This weighted vest is fantastic. I like the double straps in the front since I have a larger chest; they are easy to adjust. I like how the arm holes are snug underneath my armpits, which helps avoid chafing on my arms. This vest costs a bit more than others but it is well worth the cost. It is a very high-quality vest, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to make an investment in one. A good rule of thumb is to purchase a vest that is at least 10% of your weight. I do wish I had gotten the heavier one, but this one will work great for a while.

This thing smells horrendous, which is why I can’t give it the full 5 stars. I used it for a 3 mile walk today and can already feel that it made a difference in my work out, I only have the 10lb size. I will be ordering 15lbs within the next few weeks because other than the smell, the quality is very good and it is comfortable to wear, and easy to use!
