Heavy but soft, good quality
I bought the Zelus 20-32lb adjustable weight vest. This is my first weighted vest and I didn’t want to have to buy multiple vests, so I went with the higher weight. Out of the box, first impressions: it has that classic neoprene smell. It’s obvious but it wasn’t overwhelming for me personally. It’s heavy. I’m not in any kind of shape (except round) so may have overdone it on the weight, but that’s not a product flaw. It’s soft and sits comfortably on my body. The base 20lbs feels evenly distributed over the front and back of the vest. It feels high quality, but only time will tell on how well it holds up. It has reflective striping for safety on nighttime walks. Overall, super happy with this purchase and I feel it will serve me well on my fitness journey. I wish you all the best on your journeys.

No shifting, highly recommend
I’ve been using this weighted vest for a few weeks now, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my workouts. The vest is well-constructed with durable stitching and adjustable straps that provide a snug, comfortable fit without restricting movement. I primarily use it for walking, bodyweight exercises, and light jogging, and it adds just the right amount of resistance to elevate my heart rate and engage my muscles more deeply.What I like most is the even weight distribution—there’s no awkward shifting during movement, which helps maintain balance and form. It’s also easy to adjust the weight by removing or adding inserts, which is great for gradually increasing intensity.One small downside is that it can get a little warm during longer sessions, but that’s expected with most weighted vests. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking to level up their workouts or daily activity.

Works great!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this vest for the style, the ease of taking it on and off, and the price seemed reasonable for what you get, also for the options of varying the weights. If I had one complaint it would be the outgassing or vapors that emanate from the product. I currently have to leave it outside so as to try and let the vapors dissipate or fade, that is the reason for the four stars.

Adds the extra edge to bring up my heart rate
Update 7.13.25 I am upping the stars to 5 as it’s not their fault i have a hard time seeing the clips, that is just me. The vest does exactly what it is designed for. I wish I’d gotten the heavier one so I could use it to work my way up to a heavier weight. I underestimated how much I could put on at once, but I still get great benefit from this one.I bought this vest to “up” my walking game. I walk 10,000 steps a day with 1/2 hr of aerobics. However, I wanted to “up” my game in terms of aerobic benefit, and this had delivered nicely as it raises my heart rate without a lot of additional effort. I can very lightly jog in place to get just where I want to be.I got this also because I like the option to start lower and move up. It turns out though I didn’t need that, but still I was glad to have it. In hindsight I wish I had gotten the heavier option to start with but, live and learn, this works for me now so I’ll stick with it.The only thing I don’t like about it so far is the clips are black both male and female parts so it makes it difficult for me visually when lining them up to click in place while angling the vest to reach them. This is just me though, I am sure.There is the chemical smell that others have mentioned but I expected it and it does seem to have lessened after a few days.In terms of “comfort”, well, it doesn’t chafe or cut into me so I it has enough padding, that’s about all I can say. And if I don’t wear a shirt it stays in place thanks to the rubber coating on the inside of the straps.I am very happy with it for now, I took a star off because of the smell and not being able to see easily to join the clips, but those are relatively minor problems in my opinion.

Nice adjustable weighted vest, customizable weight
Really nice introductory weighted vest. Love the fact that the weights are removable, so the wearer can adjust both the weight and placement according to their needs. It is a bit of a pain to get the removed weight back into the pouch, but not overly difficult either.I showed it to my physical therapist, and she thought it was a well-made, quality product. It seems comfortable enough, and the side straps allow for a bitter fit. For the record, I’m a petite woman (4’11, maybe 5’0″ on a good day).

Chemical smell.
Pretty comfortable, and like that you can adjust the weight, but horrible chemical smell. Tried leaving it outside, and I think it actually make the smell stronger. It’s also slightly tight going over my head. Not sure how long the sand packages will last.

Just opened itImpressed at first glanceSmells very chemical but hopefully that will go away once I wear it outside a few time and here in Canada it will just end up smelling like wild fire smokeI like how it feels onThe vest alone weighs 4 pounds and it is actually quite niceI’m a teacher and I’ve worked with children who needed deep pressure and sometimes would have weighted stuffed animals and I have also used a weighted blanket which reduced anxietyI can see this helping with that too even just sitting wearing it now it feels nice having that weight on meI did my research on how much weight to use for my body and it was recommended to use 5% of your body weight so I’m going to start with 7 poundsThe little 1 pound bags are easy to take out and add and the front pocket for keys or phone is nice tooI should have gotten the pink one what was I thinking?!?Oh ya the black one had 10% offAnything to save a few bucksWill update after I do some housework or go for a walk

It’s a nice quality vest. I have worn it about 10 times now. It did have a “new smell” but not as bad as other reviews make it seem. I find it comfortable to wear and it doesn’t dig in anywhere
