APEXUP Weighted Vest with 5lbs/10lbs/15lbs/20lbs/25lbs/30lbs Weights and Reflective Stripe, Weight Vest Men Women for Workout, Strength Training, Running

Before I purchased this item, I saw the reviews reporting a negative chemical smell from several posts, so I was prepared for the smell when the item arrived. When I opened the box, there was a heavy smell lingering that I am thinking is from some part of the treatment, so I let the vest air outside overnight. The smell was completely gone the next morning. There is no smell now at all. A plus to add, the 10lb weight is easy for me to manage, and the size is easily adjustable. A great benefit is that the way the vest sits on my shoulders and upper back instantly corrected the way my shoulders naturally lean forward, so my shoulders feel so good after the use. I have had both shoulders worked on with surgery removing an inch off of both my clavicles two years ago and this vest causes no discomfort, and after five uses has improved the mobility of my rotator cuffs. So happy!

I wear this vest on my indoor treadmill and outside walks for extra weight to help protect my bones and aide in my fitness. I am 5 3, 116 lbs and got the 20 lb vest and it works just fine for me, but I have been lifting weights for over 6 years, so I would only recommend starting with one that is 10% of your body weight to start. The weight is evenly distributed and the straps adjust to all body sizes. It is super easy to get on and off. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to up their resistance cardio activity!

I’ve been using the APEXUP Weighted Vest for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with its performance! First, the design is sleek and modern—love the grey color and the reflective stripe, which is a nice safety feature when I’m running at night. The vest fits comfortably, with adjustable straps that make it easy to customize for a snug fit, ensuring it doesn’t move around during workouts.The 20lbs weight is perfectly balanced, providing a great challenge for strength training and running without being too heavy or uncomfortable. It’s made from high-quality material that feels durable, and the weight distribution is even, so it doesn’t strain my shoulders or back. I’ve noticed an improvement in my workouts, as the added resistance really helps boost my endurance and overall strength.Whether I’m doing bodyweight exercises, running, or walking, this vest stays in place and doesn’t chafe, which is a huge plus. It’s also easy to adjust the weight increments if I want to make it lighter or heavier, giving me full control over my intensity.If you’re looking for a well-made weighted vest to elevate your workouts, this one is a solid choice. Great quality, comfortable fit, and a great addition to my training routine!

Good design and comfortable to wear. It distributes weight well and doesn't feel like shoulder straps are digging in like other designs.The mesh is not stretchy in the back and that'd be a nice feature for carrying a water bottle in the back. Fits a snack, phone or keys well.It fits the shoulders of males better than females, but it can be adjusted down enough to fit. It would also be nice if it had a slim fit design for those with narrower shoulders.Overall, great vest. Better than any other I've used.

The material on this vest is really nice—stretchy and comfortable overall. I will say the strap across the front goes straight across the chest, which can be a little inconvenient if you're a woman. Also, the way the back sits, it tends to hit right at my scapula, which can get a little irritating during longer walks. I don’t think that’s a flaw in the design, though—probably just how these types of vests fit in general.I’m about 150 lbs and chose the 10 lb vest. It’s surprisingly heavy (in a good way!) and not adjustable, so I knew I had to pick a weight that would challenge me without being too much. You can definitely feel the difference when you wear it. I usually get about 10,000 steps a day, and this is definitely going to take my workouts up a notch.Overall, it’s a solid, well-made vest if you’re looking to add a little extra intensity to your walks or workouts!

Arrived today. Has some smell to it, but that will air out. I got the 20 lb. I currently weigh about 210-213 and am trying to lose. I am hoping this helps me tone. I plan to wear it daily around the house as well as on walks. It is heavy at first, but it fits well and is comfortable on. I will be able to wear it and adapt. Wish me luck!

Absolutely great work out! So comfortable too! I walked 2 miles the first day I got it with zero issues! I would definitely recommend. I wish I would have gone to 15 lbs, instead of 10, but I figure this way I won't be to exhausted that I don't want to walk anymore. Oh, FYI...there is a terrible smell like others have stated. Honestly, I didn't find it too bad.

Update: I have now had the vest airing out (both indoors and outdoors) for 9 full days and it is just as bad as it was out of the box. It’s completely unwearable. Returning immediately. Don’t waste your time or money. It’s not letting me take away stars, but if I could I’d give it 0 stars.Original review (3 stars): I’ve had the vest for a little over 24 hours and haven’t been able to wear it because of the unbearable chemical smell. I’ve been letting it air out outside and inside, and while it’s less horrific than it was yesterday, I still can’t even walk into the room where it is hanging without my eyes watering. It fits perfectly, and I love the color. The weight is distributed really well and it feels very comfortable, but again, I can’t wear it for more than a minute because of the smell.If it doesn’t significantly improve over the next couple days I will be returning it and dropping my rating even more. I’m so upset because a bought this to try to improve my long term health and longevity, but I’m now afraid wearing it would actually damage my health rather than improve it.
