 I shouldn't need ducktape! October 1, 2009
Athena Suich (Marina, CA)
I purchased this weightvest Aug 22 and have been training with it for about 6 weeks now. I am a 5'6" female training with it for the CPAT. I use it about 2/3 times a week. I would like to use it more than that but now it is ripping at the sides! I'm so disappointed because I wanted to lend it to my brother for his training when I was done using it.
SO -- I'm going to see if black duck tape will help save this investment.
Also, the picture they have displayed looks a lot shorter online than it is in person. It hits just below my hips. That is not a problem but just so you know.
Weak Material March 24, 2009

Maybe i use this vest too much, but i figured a weight vest is for people trying to man up and get bigger. Ive had the vest for about a month and the belt used to tighten the vest around you is made out of some type of rubber material that stretches. My belt is hanging on by a thread. The weights are removable, and enclosed by the same rubbery material. after a while, i think im going to have to think up some way to keep the steel bags in place. I know for a fact that im going to have to rip off the chinese belt and attach some sort of heavy duty fabric myself to do the job. i wanted this thing to be tough and long-lasting. in actuality it lives up to its made in china reputation. but i guess its hard to come across anything made to last these days...

 My husband loves it February 25, 2009

My husband uses it when he goes walking for that extra burn. Although he doesn't take out the weights because the material that holds the weights are a bit flimsy & he's afraid of tearing it.

Pros: Cheap. Reasonable comfortable.
Cons: Getting the weight packets in and out of the pouches is difficult. Additionally, the slits on said pouches is already tearing, as is the belt to fasten this thing. I like to vary the weight on this a lot, which makes the adjustablity concerns serious. Also, the durability is a major concern.
Bottom line: Spend more on a better product.

The weight vest feels great when you first take it out of the box. I successfully ran three miles with all 40 pounds in it before the product ripped (this was the first time I used the vest, and the second day I owned it). The product was in no way worth the time, money, or effort required to buy, ship, and ultimately return the product. I was extremely unhappy with the purchase and will not order another.
