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

Just ordered this and went for my first walk and so far I love it. Of course I was nervous after reading all the reviews but am happy to report that my vest came in perfect condition-no leaking insides & no torn stitches. There is an odor but I think it depends how sensitive you are to odors in general & it isn’t bad enough for me to return it. I do have a residual smell on my shirt but I’m assuming it will all go away in time. I’m 61 years old, 5’3 and 120 lb. Work out 5x a week plus walk twice a day & in fairly good shape. I decided to go w/the 10 lb vest only because I have arthritis in my lower spine and really didn’t want anything heavier to aggravate it. It’s very comfortable, the weight is evenly distributed and super easy to use. I wanted a vest w/1 strap( which this does)-I live in a very hilly neighborhood and going up hill you can tell right away in your calves you’re carrying additional weight. My heart rate increases as well so it did what it’s suppose to do. Very happy so far.

The vest is exactly what I expected. I found it very easy to adjust the weight distribution was comfortable and provided the added resistance I needed to work on my goal which was to make walking more challenging and use as a low impact alternative.I expect in the next few months to improve my cardio and bone health.I would be remiss if I don’t share that I intend to use the vest 3 times one week , then 4 times the next and alternate every week thereafter, to prevent fatigue or even injury. It is a very good product and I’m happy with it.

This was a game changer! It’s so comfortable, the weight is a perfect amount for myself. I love the color. I can wear it with anything. It’s very easy to put on and takeoff. It’s not so much stretchy, but it can be adjusted to fit you. I told my sister I need to buy her one so we can go walking together. I really did at first. Think I wasn’t going to like it and feel claustrophobic, but I got so used to it. And it’s definitely helped and it honestly keeps my posture in place as well. Highly recommend.

Bought the 5lbs vest. It fits comfortably. Easy to adjust for fit. Scent is very off putting of chemical smell, but can cover with an ace bandage while in use. Easy to put on and wear. I’ve worn it up to 8 hours in a day. I think I should have gotten the heavier weight, but I didn’t know and wanted my body to be prepared for the extra weight. I will buy the heavier one eventually. Has some stretch so will work for various sizes and adjustable strap in front as well.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I really like this vest. I bought the 20lb weighted vest but might buy a lighter (8-10lb) one for walking. I wear it around the house for at least 30 min. My goal is to strengthen my bones by the next bone density test. It's made well and is durable. I highly recommend!

Perfect for hot girl walks! Wanted something that’s comfortable without being bulky. This vest is a perfect addition to my walk. Been using it for about a month now and it looks the same as it did when I bought it! Love that it helps get my heart rate up without feeling like I’m doing anything extra.

I love my vest. It's easy to use, you just pop it on like a backpack! The size is adjustable, the straps and comfortable. Since you can't adjust the weight make sure you get the right one for you. I don't ever feel restricted as it has a bit of stretch and moves with your body.

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!
