This weighted vest is great. When I first pulled it out of the box I was surprised by how heavy it felt, but it’s very comfortable to wear. I’ve used it mostly for pushups, pull-ups and dips, and it makes a very noticeable difference. It fits securely—I’ve had no issue with it moving once put on. It has two easily adjustable straps that solidly click into place. There are even two small patches below the straps to ensure comfort when wearing. Very high quality, very comfortable. It is exactly what it should be—comfortable additional weight for body weight exercises and running.

I ordered the 12 pound version of this fest, which varies from the listing by featuring not one but two straps across the chest. Or, more accurately, one strap goes almost across the neck – really across the collarbone – and the other one goes (on me) across the sternum.Fit notes: I'm 5'9" tall, female, 158 pounds, swimmer build with a broad chest. I feel like if you're very petite, you might not be able to get this thing tight enough, because I've got the straps tightened almost to their maximum.The vestsits very high on me, with the lowest part of it heading about where the bottom of a bra hits at my rib cage. When I first tried it on I accidentally put it on backwards, though, and honestly I think you could probably wear it that way just fine if you prefer it, but the straps would be going right across your chest, and if you have boobs, that could be pretty annoying. It does, however, seem to make the vest fit more snugly.I have another weighted vest that's a lot heavier, and that one has a ferocious chemical smell, so I was relieved to discover that this one has only a barely perceptible odor, and after leaving it outdoors for a week, it's almost unnoticeable.If you're new to wearing weight on walks or runs, 12 pounds is a good starting point. Although it might be tempting to start with a very lightweight, you tend to adapt pretty quickly, and it will just not feel like anything after a couple of weeks, and these vests are made in such a way that you cannot add weight to them. There are other types available that have sandbags you can add or remove, but this isn't one of them. I use a 32 pound vest on weekends for long endurance hikes, and this lighter one for jogs with my dog, and I particularly like it at night because if it's reflective strips.

Poudee 12 lb. weighted vest is more comfortable to wear than I thought it would be. The overall fabric is soft and not scratchy. I like the adjustable straps for different body sizes, which allows the vest to remain securely in place with activity. When wearing, the non-removable weight seems to be distributed evenly. I have been wearing this around the house, but plan to wear it mainly at the gym while walking on a treadmill. I will also use it when I walk my dog, so the reflective strips will help. My only complaint was the strong chemical like odor. I sat it in the garage for a few days when not being used and that did help alleviate the smell. I'm glad I purchased this weighted vest and would do so again, but maybe in a 10lb. instead of the 12lb. weight

I ordered this 12 pound weighted vest for my spouse who is 5' 2" and weighs 110 pounds. While unpacking this weighted vest I noticed no obnoxious smells or other odors. The vest has plenty of adjustments and fit her well pretty much right out of the box.She is planning to use this in the home gym and while walking as these are a great aid in developing and toning muscle while preventing and prolonging the onset of Osteoporosis while offering potential for proper or improved posture.The vest seems well made with nice stitching and reinforcement in the critical points to alleviate strain on the straps or vest fabric. It has a nice fit with no real noticeable pinch points or areas that seem to rub. It definitely feels heavier than 12 pounds but I weighed it and it is pretty much spot on for weight. The overall color and weight is uniform and nice with the right amount of padding where needed.I like this vest and I hope my pictures and review will help you decide if it is right for you. Thanks for reading.

I got this as a kind of personal challenge. I don’t run any more but I do walk a great deal and exercise routinely. I strap this thing on AFTER my walk and do the balance of my workout wearing it. I wanted an extra “push†in my workout and this is definitely IT! I’m a senior citizen and an additional 12 lbs. feels like a LOT. But not only do I enjoy working a little harder, but I really like the feeling I get when I take it off at the end of my workout. It gives me a sense of lightness on my feet and somehow causes me to stand straight and tall. It just FEELS GOOD!When I was young I often worked with ankle and wrist weights, especially running. I’m not sure that was really a good thing in the long run. But this feels like a smarter way to add weight and minimize the chance of injury. The weight is on my trunk, not my extremities. It doesn’t pull too hard on any one area though I do feel it some in my knees. And it is a killer when it comes to crunch/sit up time! Makes me work harder but, once again, I like the way it feels.The vest itself is heavy duty, well put together and made from tough stuff. There isn’t much to wear out so I expect it will outlast meThe vest is simple to manage and easy enough to get on and off. I’m impressed with the design and the quality of the materials. It’s doing for me just what I wanted.I recommend this vest and believe it to be a good piece of equipment.BUT anyone using a weighted vest or body weights of any kind should talk with a trainer or a health care professional. More is not always better! Be smart and be good to your body!
