APEXUP Adjustable Weighted Vest Men 20lbs/30lbs/40lbs Weights with Reflective Stripe, Weight Vest Woman Workout Vest for Strength Training Running Walking

My fiancé likes to take long walks together. We do a 4 mile loop but it never feels like much of a workout. Enter the ApexUp vest. I bought the 30 pound version. I like that I can start off at 20 pounds and work my way up to 30 pounds. We’ve done a couple 4 mile walks since receiving mine and what a difference! Finally, a 4 mile walk feels somewhat like a workout. It’s not like going for a run or a day of leg training at the gym, but it definitely makes a difference. The vest is very well-made. It’s easy to add or remove weights. It’s comfortable with plenty of padding. I am very happy I bought this

I love this weighted vest! I purchased this because I remember watching The Biggest Loser years ago and the finalists would have to carry the weight they'd lost at the end. At the time of this purchase I'd lost 40 lbs and wanted to see what it was like to try and carry the weight I'd lost. When the package arrived, I couldn't hardly pick it up because it was so heavy! What a moment for me! Realizing that I couldn't hardly move it, yet I'd been carrying that weight around for quite a while on a daily basis. It was a phenomenal moment, and now I'm down 60 lbs. Anyway, I chose this particular one because of the reviews. It was a little more expensive than others, but I'd rather buy something of quality. I just recently pulled it out to use it and I have started with just 10 lbs. I normally do an incline 2.5 mile walk on my treadmill every single day (from a 2% up to an 8% then back down). My typical average heart rate at the end is between 142-144 bmp. With this vest on, at just 10 lbs, it is now an average of about 155 bpm! I wish I had started using this sooner! I absolutely feel like it adds a new level to my workout, and a great sweat as well. Also, it is very comfortable to wear. It does not rub up against me or anything and is comfortable on my shoulders. I highly recommend!

I chose this weighted vest because it was one of few that did not use iron sand pouches. The iron sand pouches in most weighted vests evidently give off toxic smelling fumes that make the vests unusable for many. Users also report the iron sand pouches are difficult to remove and tuck back in. This vest gets a 5 star rating for it's solid iron weights. I was able to easily remove them to adjust location and total weight! For that reason alone I would buy this vest again. For the weights. However, I may end up piling these weights into my old bicycling backpack. First, the waist belt on this vest was impossible to assemble. I'm still not sure I got it right. There is a vague instruction included with a dark photo of how the waist belt looks and no detailed explanation re: how to assemble it. There are miles of velcro on this waist strap included, had to fold it three times so I had this thick belt kind of makeshift belt riding just under my ribcage. The whole thing is a bit short, doesn't go down to my waist. I am 5' 6" and weigh 112 lbs. The nylon adjustable"waist" nylon band with plastic clasp, as reported by other reviewers, slides out of place in a minute. I will have to add some kind of tape or pin to keep it secured. My other concern is the narrow neck opening. I have a skinny neck and small sloping shoulders. After my first walk, with only a few weights, the vest cut into my neck/trapezius muscles. I don't know how this works on a man with a normal sized neck. The neck opening is kind of small digging in with weight close to the neck. So, I'm a little leary about what happens when I add more weight. The vest is well constructed, with quality canvas type fabric. I'm going to try to adjust and work with it. Still glad I purchased it.

Great product. Well made and great fit.

Very well made and the metal weights are easy to change . I am very satisfied with this product. The Velcro closure is very strong and it is very comfortable to wear.

The vest looks great, has a very sturdy feel to it. Being able to remove weights as needed is also great so I can share this with my spouse. Would recommend for anyone looking for one of these!

If you are a person that likes to work out and create some resistance in your muscles. i recommend this product is good for walking, running, and wear it for activities. you feel lighter when you remove is also good for work on your body balance well thats how i feel after using it also adjust the amount of weight you want to carry. but also consult your Doctor or trainer for proper used. since the weight are very heavy so use caution when handling. i have different type on the past. and i find this one very comfortable to wear. I”ll give two thumbs up.

I bought this one specifically because it had iron weights and not sand bags. It fit well and seemed rugged and the Velcro held well but the side ripped open after two uses. I returned it.
