ZELUS Weighted Vest With Reflective Stripe

I tried both the 12lb and 16lb vests and I prefer the fit of the 16lb vest (I am a Male/175lbs/5’7″). The first time I tried the 16lb vest for about 35minutes just in the house, my back was starting to hurt, but on another day, I took it for a 50min walk outside and I was fine. I think keeping a good posture is very important and I find it easier to have a good posture when out on a walk. The 16lb vest fits nicely with some space for my arms to move freely, whereas the 12lb vest is smaller and there is less space between my arms and my chest… the 12lb just feels to small for my body type I guess. The vest has a good construction, the pouch they include is perfect to hold a phone and a wallet, and I can clip my JBL speaker on the opposite side.

Gran elección de chaleco si quieres iniciar a correr con peso, estéticamente se ve lindo, trae un espacio para el teléfono y en la parte de atrás una “red” para llaves y el relleno del peso es como de “arena” entonces no hace tanto ruido al correr. El único contra es que si corres con una blusa de tela delgada lastima la zona del hombro (por la fricción) pero se soluciona corriendo con sudadera.

Title: A Game-Changer for My Workouts!

Review:

I recently purchased the Zelus Weighted Vest, and it has truly transformed my fitness routine. This vest is a fantastic addition to any workout regimen, whether you are a seasoned athlete or just starting out.

Firstly, the build quality is exceptional. The vest feels durable and well-constructed, with sturdy stitching and high-quality materials that ensure it can withstand even the most intense workouts. The weight is evenly distributed, which makes it comfortable to wear for extended periods without causing strain or discomfort.

One of the standout features of the Zelus Weighted Vest is its adjustable fit. The straps are easy to modify, allowing for a snug and secure fit regardless of your body type. This adjustability means that the vest stays in place during dynamic movements, making it perfect for a variety of exercises including running, hiking, bodyweight exercises, and strength training.

I’ve noticed a marked improvement in my strength and endurance since incorporating it into my routine. It adds the perfect amount of resistance, pushing me to work harder and achieve better results.

Moreover, the vest is designed with user comfort in mind. It features breathable materials and padding that prevent chafing and ensure you stay cool, even during the most rigorous sessions. Cleaning the vest is also straightforward, which is a huge plus for maintaining hygiene.

Overall, the Zelus Weighted Vest is a game-changer. It’s comfortable, durable, and incredibly effective at enhancing workout intensity. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level!

first time with a weighted vest (per doctor’s orders for bone strengthening). she recommended 15 pounds for me. this one came with either 12 or 16 so went with 16. wore it for 10 mins 3 times on first day and on second day for 30 mins incl a trip up/down stairs plus a sit to stand rep. good enough I think I can now wear on my walks. I am 5’3″, 142 lbs and 77 years old. if I can do this, anyone can, LOL

very well made, comfortable, adjustable straps. I do have to be careful getting into it so I don’t strain my rotator cuff, ya can’t just ‘sling it on’ like a coat as its heavy. once on and tightened, just fine. I dont’ go out at night, but the reflectors are nice for safety.

even tho new to this, I am impressed and happy with my purchase. my doctor will be thrilled…… update: LOVE this vest!! two friends impressed and are also buying. seeing improvements in body strength and posture. for those who say the zipper type is easier: you cinch the vest snuggly when on. release the straps when done or the two front pieces will be too close together to easily put on next time. can’t recommend this higher!

Bought this a number of months ago for walking/running long distance when I wanted to add some strain to the activity. The vest itself is super comfortable (wear it for about 2 hours tops, can’t speak for longer than that) and the phone holder is the primary reason why I chose this specific one. Got it in the 20lbs model and it is all of that. The only mild complaint I have is that it is not super super tight around the abdomen so if you plan to exclusively run with it, i’d go with more of a plate carrier style. I found that if I hold it down with my hands while running it stays in place great, but isn’t perfectly ideal. More than anything though, I’d highly recommend it for a solid deal of a weighted vest, just MAKE SURE to let it air out for a couple days when you get it because it smells pretty strongly.

I like its size it fits well. I don’t like that I control the weight graduation. I would prefer a vest that I am able to add weight increments as I adjust to load.

It fits perfectly and the phone case is a plus. Super well made!
