## Description

STUFFED WITH IRON SANDS - Stuffed with chemical-free iron sands, this weighted vest is suitable for strength training, muscle building, stair climbing, weight loss, weightlifting, walking, running and more, helping improve cardio conditioning and body strength, giving you more power, speed, and agility

Review: 1 - I very rarely review products, but I had to review this one, because of the -few- negative comments, to provide my thought. I am 175, 5'10", very active. I mainly bought it to hike at moderate pace w the dog in the woods and on trails. I do from 1-6 miles w it, feels great, good weight distribution, after a bit you forget its there. I also use it at the gym for pushups/pullups/and to add general weight/resistance to farmer's walks, curls, squats, deadlifts. I tried the 20, it a was a bit on the lighter side, but it fit more snug and was a bit more tailored. The 30 is a great weight, but it comes in a bit bigger size, so not as snug for me, I adjusted the straps to smallest. It is very good for above mentioned workouts. It slim enough where I can even lie on my back and do bench press. IN REGARD TO NEGATIVE COMMENTS: Weighted vests are NOT made for running, for jogging, for tennis, basketball, ballet, or anything like that. I did a lot of research, you are not supposed to do those types of dynamic exercises, you can pull muscles, damage your vertebrae, damage joints, pinch a nerve. They bounce a little and that makes for more risk of injury. The sizing comes for a typical average body, a 30LB vest I would say would fit a 5'10"-6'4" quite well. But if you are on a very small short side, or are very very husky, or very overweight, or have gigantic breasts, then perhaps you should take that into account and perhaps not get one. It is silly to run w a weighted vest. In regards to sturdiness and how it holds up, we shall see, I only used it for 2 weeks. But then again, its heavy, so I don't throw it around, or smack it hard, after all its made of fabric, material that can rip if you hurl it far and with its weigh of 30LB.
Review: I've jumped on the weighted vest for walking bandwagon and love it! I'm a 5 ft 3 in woman (145 lbs) and bought the 12 lb size. This vest is comfortable to wear while walking outside or on a treadmill (well, once you become accustomed to the extra weight) and is easy to take on and off. I do feel that it adds some extra intensity to my walks. In the past, I've tried walking with a backpack with extra weight (i.e. Rucking) but the weighted vest is much more comfortable as it fits closer to the body. The front straps are quite long for me, but I was able to fold them over a few times within the loop. The only downside to this type of vest is that you need to replace it with a new one when you want to increase to a higher weight, but I suppose I'll gift it to a friend when that time comes.

*by O***Y on 18 September 2025*

So far I like it, for outdoor walks/runs. Seems to fit well with any adjustment needed in the front (straps a little long). Doesn't shift around too much, and seems like smooth, quality material. I have the 8 lb vest (130 lbs, athletic, 5'5") and it's feels just right to start with. Might be nice to be able to add weights to it like some other vests on the market, but the price was right so I will just use it until I need to upgrade. Not sure how it will hold up just yet over time. Just wish I could remember to wear it more often - it's a bit heavy to "hang up" and is usually stored on a flat surface, so I often forget to grab it (out of sight out of mind) when heading out. This is the vest that Mary Claire Haver (of "The New Menopause" book) recommends and uses - that is why I bought it. Price was also reasonable. Black is nice, and blends in with many of my dark colored tank tops.
