20lbs

I received my weighted vest earlier today, and I've been wearing it for a good portion of the day. So far, my impressions are largely positive. I ordered the 60 LB vest with shoulder straps, as that seemed to be the best value proposition, and it allowed me to remove weights. My first impression was how heavy the 60 LB vest really was. It came with the weights (sandbags) installed. I'd suggest removing them before putting the vest on. The vest does include some instructions, but I confess I did not read them. I'm not sure if removing the weights is recommended, but it really helps. You can then reload the weights once the vest is on. Aside from the difficulty of getting the fully-loaded vest on, it fit pretty comfortably. I didn't notice much pull on my shoulders, and the weight seems well-distributed, without too much pull on my shoulders, even without the pads - though I did definitely notice that the weight on my shoulders was enough that the muscles there are getting tired. In fact, I definitely noticed the weight of the vest just moving around, and it seems like I'm going to need to build up some core strength to really try to work out with the full 60 LBs. I was a little concerned that the vest had been damaged during shipping, as the box was beaten up and there was a metal ring sticking out of it. However, the vest only uses sand for weight, and the sand bags all seem intact, with no leakage. The fabric smelled only very faintly of plastic and seems tough and rigid, though there were some loose threads in some of the stitching. As far as exercise is concerned, even with 4 of the 6 pouches emptied (so down to 36 LBs of weight), the vest still made it a lot easier to get my heart rate up when walking, though it was difficult to even try running. Squats worked well, and there's definitely a bit more of a burn there. I noticed a good increase in difficulty walking up two steps at a time. On the downside, the vest is thick enough that it does tend to get in the way of some arm movements, and you can't go all the way down doing pushups. We're talking a good 3 inches thick, mainly because of the sandbags. I suppose metal weights would have been less bulky, but probably a lot more expensive. Overall, I think this vest will still help me meet my fitness goals, as it does provide a physical challenge in various exercises. I'm a little disappointed at movement limitations with my arms, but not enough to regret the purchase. I do think this is going to last pretty well, as long as I make sure to keep any unused sandbags away from where anything could puncture them. I'd also recommend figuring out what the maximum weight you may want to try using, buying that, and then adding more weight to the vest as you feel comfortable. That seems better than making multiple purchases, but your mileage may vary.

Really happy with this weighted vest. The build quality is solid, the price was right, and I love that it offers such a wide range — you can go as light as 20 lbs and scale all the way up to 150. It’s comfortable to wear considering the weight, though fair warning: once you load it up, it will feel heavy — that’s the point. Here’s my old-man advice if you’re new to weighted vests: don’t start at the top. Add weight gradually and let your body adapt — wear it for walks or around the house first before you jump into workouts. Your joints, back, and knees will thank you. Once you’re used to it, this vest becomes an incredible tool for training, hiking, or just turning everyday movement into exercise. Overall, it’s exactly what I wanted — sturdy, adjustable, and capable of growing with you as you get stronger.

The RUNmax Adjustable Weighted Vest is fantastic quality and has really taken my workouts to the next level. The adjustable weights make it easy to increase resistance as I get stronger, and the option with shoulder pads makes it much more comfortable during longer sessions. It fits securely without shifting around, and the build feels very durable. Great for running, bodyweight training, or even just walking. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add extra intensity to their fitness routine!

This is a fantastic product if you want to add something extra to your walk. Its heavier then a military vest, and after buying an extra sandbag to shoot at, could potential save you like one as well buuuut don't bet on it. I use this vest for adding a little extra to my choirs and when Im going up and down stairs. It fits well on a 270lb guy like me, but there are some draw backs to it that I have found annoying. The first is that when bending down to grab something the velcro doesnt hold the best. Most of the time I have to hold the vest in place if Im reaching for something. It's also bulky so don't expect to be doing push-ups with weights in the front unless your planning on using platforms to rise up a bit. The other drawback is trying to get the weights just right in the vest. I found that if I have a spot between two of them it is hard to get it fully packed in the slot. Also if using the full 60lbs I would recommend wearing something a little thicker even with the pads on it. The positive aspects would be that you can adjust the weight as needed. I started out with 30lbs and moved up from there. Plus with the pads on it I can wear it for longer periods of time. The max Ive been able to wear it is 3hrs. One other amazing thing is that it acts great for stability control on other exercises. When Im not wearing it I can blast a few curls with it that adding the extra movement really hits home. Plus you can hold it crossed armed up to your chest to do squats with or wear it as well. Pros: Balance Control Adjustable weights Great add on for basic work outs Maybe save a life, who knows Cons: Sand shifts making it hard to get weights in sometimes Pads have to be shifted just right or hurts collar bone Velcro not the best Needs more padding DON'T RUN, this thing bounces around too much. I now understand the pains some women have to deal with running. Almost poked an eye out

It fits great, feels sturdy on shoulders and weight is evenly distributed which makes it ideal for hiking, running. Whatever you do. Good quality and honestly would recommend it to anyone. Definitely worth it.

bon matériel

Excelente chaleco. Lo compré hace 2 meses y me ha funcionado excelente para hacer lagartijas y sentadillas con peso extra. El material es resistente y la forma de poder quitar o agregar peso al chaleco es sencilla. Si te gusta hacer ejercicio con movimientos funcionales este chaleco es una gran opción por el precio. Compra el de Shoulder pads para que no te resientas del trapecio y los hombros.

This vest does what it’s supposed to and does it well. The weight is adjustable in clean increments, the fit is secure, and the shoulder pads make a real difference for longer sessions. Most vests skip that comfort layer or sell it separately—this one includes it, and it’s hard to find again once stock dries up. The nylon shell wipes clean easily, and the sandbag weights stay put without shifting. It’s bulky at full load, but the balance is solid and the straps hold firm. No bouncing, no awkward shifting, and no stitching failures so far. If you’re serious about adding resistance to walks, stairs, or bodyweight work, this is a reliable pick. Just don’t wait on the shoulder pad version—it’s not something you’ll easily source later.

Excelente calidad, muy cómodo de usar..
