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 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.

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.

Weird smell at first but I think it's going away. Effective, comfortable, and adjustable across the chest. The cellphone holder can be annoying but it at least gives you the option to store your phone in the front if needed.

This vest has been a total game changer during my daily walks. The weight is distributed evenly and doesn't cause any shoulder or neck pain after wearing it for a few miles. The material is soft and comfortable on the skin, but it does have a very strong smell to it that I've noticed hasn't gone away. Ive even noticed the smell on my workout clothes when I take it off still lingers hours later. Other than the smell, this is a great weighted vest.

I love this weighted vest! I got it for Christmas and have been using it for walks and runs. It fits securely and still allows really good movement, which was my biggest concern. The weight feels evenly distributed and comfortable, and the 20lb option adds a great challenge without feeling bulky. This vest is incredibly effective at increasing the challenge of my workouts without feeling uncomfortable or restrictive. It's also got a pouch for your phone! 10/10

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.

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!

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.

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

So far so good. I’ve only used it twice so far when walking but I’m currently very pleased with it with it. It’s been comfortable. I was nervous about odor based on some of the other reviews. It had a slight smell when I first took it out of the box but nothing since. I didn’t realize it came with a “pocket “ you could Velcro on. It fits my iPhone no problem. I’m sure I could also fit my key and some tissues in there if I need to. I purchased the 12lb vest. Less than 10% of my body weight. I am glad I didn’t go heavier and my goal is for 12 to be 10% in a few months!

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
