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.

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!

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)

I’ve been training with the ZELUS Weighted Vest for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the overall build quality and comfort. I chose the 12 lb version because I weigh 110 lbs, but I like that it comes in multiple weight options so you can start lighter and progress over time. What I love: Comfortable, secure fit. The vest hugs the body well without shifting around, even during runs or cardio workouts. The adjustable straps make it easy to adjust for the right fit. Even weight distribution. The weight is balanced front and back, which really helps avoid strain on the shoulders or lower back. Reflective safety strip. I don't run outdoors, but if you run early in the morning and at dusk outdoors , this small detail is surprisingly useful. Durable materials. The stitching and fabric feel strong. No leaking weight packets or frayed seams so far. Performance Results: This vest adds just the right level of resistance to push workouts to the next level—bodyweight squats, push-ups, stair runs, and even just walking feel more challenging in a good way. I’ve noticed improved stamina and muscle engagement, especially in my core and legs. Comfort Note: There is some shoulder pressure when wearing it for a long period, but that’s expected with any weighted vest. A quick adjustment or slight break usually solves it. Bottom Line: If you're looking to intensify workouts, improve endurance, or add resistance without complicated equipment, the ZELUS Weighted Vest is a great investment. Solid quality, comfortable fit, and well worth the price.

My personal trainer suggested I add this to my workout routine. I got the 12 pound vest after doing a bunch of research on them. I read about others riding up during workouts or digging into the chest/armpit area due to the design. This one was said to not do any of that. On my treadmill, or my walks, and during my warmup & cooldown, it added a nice amount of weight without being too heavy. I’m 58 years old with a 34DD chest and find this to be comfortable and doesn’t smash me. The quality is really nice and appears that it’ll hold up for a long time.

Perfect weighted vest. It’s not bulky in the chest and the weight is balanced well. It’s a good fit on me and my husband. The pocket placement is nice and can hold a large phone securely. It doesn’t hold any weird odors or sweat and has held up near perfect for a few months of nearly daily use. There were a lot of options out there but I have no regrets with this purchase!

I wanted a weighted vest to help me keep calm and focus. The market for adult vests is quite niche. I ordered the 4lb vest because I wanted to keep the impact on my shoulders less. It feels like wearing a backpack with a few books in it. I am a smaller person so the front clip was a good fit, but for larger chest sizes the vest strap my not fit. The extra phone strap thing is cool. The zippers clink together and make noise, so I covered on in tape. Would not recommend using while jumping.

Very comfortable and fit great. Feels like it weights more than 20 lbs but it isn’t. I weigh 170 and could do 300 pushups before vest. Can only do 100 now. I should have went with 16lb vest to start out. Very nice vest tho.

it's about 1 week i have walked with this and i can feel tightness in my core .. nice one

I started running and working out with this forgot I’d have it on until I felt the extra burn. Only issue I have is when you use it next to skin you get a bunch of black residue on your body. also could be a bit heavier but you get what you pay for.

Muy satisfecho con la fabricación y versátil para ir a caminar pero también hacer ejercicios de resistencia. Excelente relación precio calidad
