RUNFast 40lbs Pro Weighted Vest

I have had this for over a year and have logged many hours with it. I am just now purchasing the shoulder pads as I am now using it for hours at max weight and it is hard on the shoulders, hoping the pads help. For reference I am 6 feet 230lbs who normally wears a XL shirt. This thing fits well and stays in place. The straps to secure it hold well and don't cause much chaffing. I have to apply cream to a small part of my underarms but not bad. It is as comfortable as one can expect from a weighted vest. My biggest complaint is it is fairly bulky so in warm weather it is really hot to use. In fact I went and purchased a wolf tactical workout vest that was 3x what this cost hoping the lower profile would make it nicer to wear. I ended up returning that one because while smaller it was so uncomfortable I couldn't wear it. The ability to change the weight really does make this much more practical as I could adjust as I was working my way up. I still will pull weight out and drop to 20lbs if I want to run in it. If you want to get into weighted vests this is the best bang for the buck and versatility

I wear this RunMax pro 40 ib vest mainly when I hike up mountains and go bike riding. First thing I want to mention is putting this on really adjusts your posture to a very natural position. I have had minimal pain wearing this, even when hiking long distances. No pain in shoulders or lower back as of yet. It might help if you use your phone or a mirror to properly strap this vest on and adjust as necessary. If you do so, you might not need to buy the non-including shoulder straps they sell for this. I think it's so well designed that it really isn't necessary, but experiences do vary, and I suggest just adjusting it slightly as needed, but just getting the straps across as straight as possible should do it. I will say, despite it's apparent simplistic aesthetic, I think the design of this vest itself is excellent for usage. The quality overall is very good, but I have noticed that maybe after the 4th hike the velcro straps did start to wear out, but I suppose that's to be expected with 40ibs of T A C T I C A L S U P E R I O R I T Y bouncing all about. Well, it's not quite tactical as it could use more pockets. However, you do have a front pocket that'll hold your precious livelihood (yes, your cell phone) there's a metal ring I use for my keys, and even a whole water bottle holster to arm yourself to the teeth with liquid rehydration. ...Yeah... Well, there's not much to say about this vest really. It's relatively comfortable, it doesn't feel too constraining or put you at risk of overheating due to it's very airy design... Somehow, despite the RunMax name, I'm not sure this is the most aerodynamic of designs 🤔 but I digress. This vest does have the option to remove sandbags so I suppose you COULD have "added storage" for the removal of weight, but I'm just not sure what you'd be putting in those kinds of pouches aside from the occasional candy/granola bar 😳 In all seriousness this vest is great, even despite it's very basic exterior. Compared to other vests, it's comfortable for many different sizes, you have lowered risk of overheating, lowered risk of pain and it's adjustable to your needs as you become a chiseled masterpiece overtime. If it ever did just have more pockets, this would be quite sublime. If you need, you can consider buying a drawstring backpack, and items with very appealing names such as "wAtEr bLaDdEr" and "fAnNy pAcK" to keep you hydrated AND storage friendly. And maybe some sort of solar external battery (that's right I just called you out again!) And I'm not saying anything about anything, but in a pinch, if in case of a pesky zombie apocalypse this thing IS still 40 ibs. You do the math... What are you waiting for? For 50 bucks go get those glutes in shape err get your butt in gear

Makes my workouts great, tight fitting and durable (love the pockets) .

This weighted vest is great quality. I really like the increments of the 4-pound weighted sand packs. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was due to the placement of where they sewed the shoulder seams together. They tend to dig into my shoulders causing discomfort. I bought a set of velcroe shoulder strap pads off of amazon separately and they work wonders. I have worn this vest almost every day since I’ve purchased. With that being said, if you are in a populated area walking/jogging in this thing, be prepared to get looks because it is fairly bulky.

Fastens snugly to my body and the weight is distributed nicely on the front and back. MUCH better than the backpack with books I was using. Feels durable and well-made.

A great workout addition. The fit is great and there is no problem with weight distribution. I'll personally only walk and do body weight exercises with the vest, but it is very durable for other things as well. There is no order and it is breathable

I have been using the vest for several weeks and I really like it. I started with five pounds and have, so far, worked up to 15 pounds. It's definitely a better workout when I'm wearing the vest and I go for a jog. It seems to be well made.

Price wasn't bad. Bought it to get ready for elk season but the weight up front tends to slump you forward. Weighted backpack is more realistic for the purpose of training for mountain packing but this is alright for getting used to weight. Not the most comfortable thing in the world but OK
