Prodigen Weighted Vest for Women and Men 8 12 16 20 25 30 Lbs with Reflective Stripe and Double Adjustable Buckle Straps Weight Vests for Strength Training, Jogging, Cardio, Weight Loss

When I first received my vest I just wore it around for household chores to get used to it. Those first couple days I wondered whether I picked the right weight, seemed too heavy. I have been healing from an ankle injury, and wondered if it was too much for my ankle. I finally started feeling more comfortable around the house, so I wore it on a short dog walk. My ankle felt a little sore, no big deal. Continued to wear it on longer walks, as much as my ankle could handle. I’m now walking 3-4 mi a day in it, and in general, I have a significant reduction in my ankle pain. Once it became the “norm” on my daily walks, when I forgot it, I would turn around and put it on. Now it feels weird to go on my walks without it. Fits nicely, weight feels balanced btn front and back. No chafing. I haven’t worn sleeveless tops with it yet, so that may change. It fits under my down vest, I’m in Denver, we wear puffy vests almost year round. 😂 highly recommend.

I've jumped on the weighted vest for walking bandwagon and love it! I'm a 5 ft 3 in woman (145 lbs) and bought the 12 lb size. This vest is comfortable to wear while walking outside or on a treadmill (well, once you become accustomed to the extra weight) and is easy to take on and off. I do feel that it adds some extra intensity to my walks. In the past, I've tried walking with a backpack with extra weight (i.e. Rucking) but the weighted vest is much more comfortable as it fits closer to the body. The front straps are quite long for me, but I was able to fold them over a few times within the loop. The only downside to this type of vest is that you need to replace it with a new one when you want to increase to a higher weight, but I suppose I'll gift it to a friend when that time comes.

I bought the 8 lb vest and Love it!! I didn't want anything too heavy, just some added resistance on my walks. The 6lb vest would of been adequate too. Don't feel pressured to buy the heavier vests. I didn't want the extra weight on my spine. I have enough back and neck problems as a 48 year old woman. This lighter weighted vest is perfect! Nice material, comfortable on, adjustable straps on the breasts. Buy it!!

Nice fit. I like the double buckles that keep the vest from shifting around.

I like my vest. It's comfortable and looks cute. My only issue is that it weighs 11 pounds not 12. I'm going to order the 16 pound vest next (I hope it weighs 16!).
