For 60 bucks this is a good vest to try and see if weighted vests will work for you.

It is one size fits all.
It fits well and doesn't move around, but the arm holes are a little tight when reaching out in front. Otherwise the fit is ok.

It is a little tough to put on loaded with weight.

Not as comfortable as the X Vest, but it is 1/3 the price.

If you know you want one and will use it, I suggest the X vest.

But as I stated, this one is good to see if this type of exercise will work for you.

The product came quickly, was reasonably priced, and was easy to figure out (no instructions came with it). Some assembly was required regarding the belts and their clips. I started at 12 lbs and have worked my way up to 20 lbs so far. Only drawback I anticipate is that it will be too hot to use in the summer.

Any training vest is not for beginners making their way to the gym after a new year's resolution. Contact a physican and a trainer before starting any exercise program.

The vest is well made but the shoulder outlets needs a slight lining or padding. The reason is the vest tends to dig into the shoulder when I wore it during a cardio session.

The bags are comprise of metal filings/shavings encased in a lunchbag thin plastic bag placed inside a synthetic bag. The bags of weights are not durable. I have dropped the vest onto a bench and three bags burst wide open. I realize that dropping any type of equipment isn't advisable but after 30 minutes of cardio then 45 minutes of weight training, proper etiquette goes out the window.

I started with 26lbs in the vest then worked my way up to 40lbs within a few weeks. Be prepared to be saturated with perspiration! Good investment. I received my vest as an holiday gift.
