I bought this weighted vest with the intention of increasing the difficulty of bodyweight training exercises, and make walking more efficient.

The ability to remove individual sand sacks from the product is a big selling point. Each sack weighs around 500g on the 20 kilo version of the vest.

Starting with the 20 kilos immediately will be very difficult and result in significant discomfort due to the extra weight, particularly in the shoulder muscles. I recommend starting with 10 or less.

I use it primarily for running and walking. When running in particular with the whole 20 kilos on, the difficulty increases significantly, and I don't need to do 10 kilometers to reach severe exhaustion. It's very difficult, but also very rewarding once you've done it, and can feel proud of your accomplishment.

The vest sits well overall, but can feel somewhat tight around the ribcage and chest area when using more weight.

So far it has been holding well, and I don't feel worried that it will suddenly tear and fall off. Occasionally I feel that I need to adjust it during walks or runs.

The vest is useful when doing bodyweight exercises such as pushups, dips, pull-ups, planks, mountain climbers, squats, and so forth.

For €100 it definitely pays to buy the 20 kilo version in the long run, as you can start with a lower weight and gradually increase the difficulty as you progress.

I recommend this vest for anyone who is already living a physically active lifestyle, training, walking, running, and wants to increase the difficulty on those activities.
