Hyperwear Hyper Vest ELITE Fully Adjustable Weight Vest, Cordura Stretch Fabric with Zip, Thin Steel Weights, Weighted Vests for Running, Strength, Endurance, Walking, Size S

I love this vest. I did my research beforehand and looked at quite a number of different ones and although this was proving to be the most expensive, it had some legitimacy to be so:The material is tough, the quality of construction is excellent, the design has obviously been tried, tested and improved upon to produce an excellent fit and function. It's major advantages over almost all the others vests is the webbing fit at the sides and the tiny weights. It allows for perfect distribution and balance, progression and comfort. There's a tool (a slip of metal) that comes with it that allows you to put the weights in and out with ease.The final clincher for me was that Iron Wolf (a US marine from youtube) uses it repeatedly in his training. I respect his work and ethic, so if it's good enough for him to not only use, but go back to repeatedly, then it's good enough for me.On average I'll use it 2 or 3 times a week. It's stood up magnificently. This has been made to last.What it's done for my training is early days, but it is all positive so far. Whereas I'd give most gear purchases or training adjustments like a 1% improvement to performance, I've found a weighted vest may be something like 5-10%. I think it will certainly help me achieve progress over the next year as I push and consolidate the improvements. And because of the design, I'm not limited by what exercises I can do whilst wearing it - I can still do floor exercises (without the vest or weight digging in to me), twisting, flexibility, weights, cardio etc. They are all still doable whilst maintaining balance and control.Yes it's expensive, but for me it's proven a worthwhile and excellent purchase from a company that obviously cares about what they produce and how they treat their customers. These are important qualities to appreciate.

I’m not impressed with this weighted vest. For this kind of money, I would really expect something of a much higher quality. So I was very disappointed when it finally arrived. I ended up returning for a refund.
