ZELUS Weighted Vest, 6lb/8lb/12lb/16lb/20lb/25lb/30lb Weight Vest with Reflective Stripe for Workout, Strength Training, Running, Fitness, Muscle Building, Weight Loss, Weightlifting

i’ve been using this 12 pound weighted vest for a couple of months now, and overall I’m very happy with it. At first, it felt heavy and a little tricky to walk with on my walk pad, but I realized there’s a certain way to adjust it properly on your shoulders. Once I got the fit right, it became comfortable and easier to wear. It’s excellent for walking and even while doing task around the house. I haven’t tried it with strength training yet, but I can already tell it adds a good amount of resistance. The vest is adjustable, fits well, and I’ve noticed no bad smells. It does get sweaty, but that hasn’t been a problem, and it hasn’t stained my clothes. The only minor issue is that it can be a little tricky to adjust at times, but other than that, it’s a very solid vest that works well for me. I’m giving it five stars because it meets my needs and has only a small learning curve.

I love this. It has upped my workout game significantly. It’s comfortable, adjustable, and helps me keep good posture. The weight distribution is even and it’s easy to get on and off. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I love wearing this on runs or just going out for a hike. Long or short it’s very comfortable and not as bulky as I expected. The weight distribution is pretty good I don’t feel uneven at all and it’s very versatile (I mean I got black and that goes with just about anything) I do really love the little ring loops on the front so I can clip my keys and pepper spray right to me within reach. The pocket is also another thing I love carries some other goodies :) overall I recommend but it does hold some smell after a few uses, so it’ll definitely need a wash eventually, but I suppose that’s to be expected 😂

I have been using this vest for a year now, and it has held up well. It is showing some cosmetic wear, but functionally is holding together fine. The magnetic stripes look the worst. This review is for the 12 pound vest. This one is sized well for women, but I can’t comment on the other weights. Materials seem sturdy , and construction has held up with regular use. I will say that it stank to high heaven for the first three months. I had to hang it up in the garage for several months to let it air out. It smelled like it was filled with ground up rubber tires. Over the summer, if I left it in the car, my entire car would stink like used tires. Thankfully, the smell did eventually wear off, and the vest is holding up well. I haven’t had any issues with it just be prepared to be a little patient and let it air out. I purchased another one and it did not have the problem, so you may get lucky and not get the smell at all. I am 5’4, 122 lbs, 34DD and it fits fine. Plenty of adjustability in the front strap for larger people. I have it snugged up fairly well. I use weight vests 5-6 days a week, so they do get put to the test 😎 Bought Dec 2024 - Photos are after about 8 months of use (had to air it out for a few months)

The quality is excellent, and it’s really comfortable to wear even during longer workouts. It fits well, stays in place, and feels sturdy without being bulky. Definitely a great choice if you want a reliable weighted vest.

Got the 20 pound vest. Probably should have started lower but I recently lost 20-25 pounds so thought I'd add it back for walking/hiking. I am 5'2 and 145 (now). The vest does have a fairly strong chemical odor but that seems to be going away after about a week. 20 pounds is a lot heavier than I anticipated and my joints immediately felt the weight suddenly being added back on!. The vest is pretty comfortable and the weight distribution is good. I use this on my 1-2 mile dog walks and for that it is very comfortable. I have tried it on a longer (6 mile) walk with a few hills and I do experience some shoulder/upper back discomfort, which I hope will go away once my body adjusts. I couldn't imagine running in it but I am sure some brave souls do so!

Quality and works/fits great. I was influenced by social media but I’m glad! It’s an easy way to a little extra to my day. I wear it walking the treadmill or out walking the dog. I wear it doing yard work and sometimes during body weight workouts. I’d recommend this brand solely off the comfort but the design and durability are there too. Plus my phone DOES fit in the phone pocket - win!

Purchased two of these in the 16 lb size. WHEW!!! Recently lost 20 lbs and all I could think was I WAS CARRYING THIS MUCH WEIGHT ALL THE TIME???? I didn't want to start with a lower weight because I knew we'd grow out of them pretty quickly. (Hubby and I). So we've been wearing them to walk dogs. Have not gone more than 2 miles yet with them on. They are really strong / sturdy and the straps adjust really well. No issues at all with strap length. You'll need to play around with it a bit to be sure the weight is distributed well so that it's not tugging on your shoulders or causing your back to hurt. Definitely effective! Reminds you not to slouch and to walk with good form!!!! They're kind of bulky so you won't really want to try and pack them to travel with them. We're really enjoying them and find them to be a great addition to our workouts!
