Very comfortable and seems to be well thought out for exercise use. I had the stitching come loose on mine just outside of the 30 day warranty period and the seller was awesome enough to immediately ship a replacement. A+ 100 customer service! They really stand behind their product. It seems like it would fit bigger folk really well too, as it can get pretty wide. I'm 5'11" 140lbs and at full tight it's a tad loose. If you are a little bigger than me, it will likely fit like a glove.

It is a comfortable vest.easy to put on and off... I would give it 5 stars if it didn't hurt my back... It falls right on the waist of my back over my kidneys... And after 30 min my back is sore in that spot. I wish the pocket was somewhere in the front for my cellphone.

To start, this is a 25 lb vest for $25, so my expectations were not exactly high. With that being said this weight vest is one of the best values I have found for fitness equipment I have ever seen. I weighed myself then put the vest on and it actually came in at about 24.6lb, so close enough for me. The buckles on the vest are adjustable so it fits well once you have it adjusted to your size. I am a man so I am not sure if women would have any issues with fit. The clips actually have a flap under them to protect your chest somewhat from just being up against the plastic. I did end up with some bruising from push-ups, but nothing that I noticed during the workout. I have used this for weighted push-ups, pull-ups, squats, etc. and running, so it stays in place during many different movements. Great Deal

I wear this (along with Nayoya Weighted Gloves - 1 Pound Each Glove for Sculpting MMA Cardio Aerobics Hand Speed Coordination Shoulder Strength and Kickboxing ) when walking, jogging, calisthenics, and practicing my simpler forms for Kung Fu (not terribly comfortable for crane or monkey rolls). The vest sits secure in an upright stance; in leaning stances it will move, but not a great deal.

I have worn this under my uniform at class, it adds a slight bit of bulk visually, but little enough that my fellow students didn't know I had it on until I took my top off after class.

As for the build; it seems solidly made; for the couple of months (not terribly long, I know) I've been using it (five - six days a week, one to two hours at a time) I've not had any stitching come loose or seams fail.

Speaking of fit; if it helps: I am 5' 11" with a 42.5" chest and 33 inch waist. The vest fits comfortably snug.

Considering purchasing a second one to keep in my car for hiking/class.

I walk daily and was wearing a 12-pound weighted vest for the last year. I decided to up my weight by a few points, and this style was very similar to what I had and was 6 pounds heavier, which would go well with the weighted gloves I also used. This fits very comfortably, though I do notice the bottom strap needs to be extended fully to go across my chest. The weight is nicely distributed across the shoulders, so while I notice the extra weight, these are not uncomfortable even after an hour of walking. The material is strong and serviceable. Should provide a nice lifespan for this vest.
