APEXUP Weighted Vest Men, Adjustable Weight Vest for Running

It’s honestly one of the best fitness purchases I’ve made. The build quality is solid—durable material, strong stitching, and it feels like it’s made to last even through intense workouts. What I really like is how easy it is to adjust the weight. Whether I’m doing bodyweight exercises, walking, or adding resistance to cardio, I can customize it to match my fitness level. The weight distribution feels balanced, which makes a big difference during longer sessions—no awkward shifting or discomfort. The fit is another big plus. The adjustable straps keep it snug without being restrictive, and it stays in place whether I’m running, doing push-ups, or squats. It’s surprisingly comfortable for a weighted vest. If I had to mention one small downside, it can get a bit warm during longer workouts—but that’s pretty expected with any vest like this. Overall, if you’re looking to increase intensity in your workouts and build strength/endurance, this vest is absolutely worth it. Great value for the price and performs exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!

So I wasn’t sure when I got this, but I love it. You can adjust the weight, it goes on easy and has good padding for the shoulders. I use it everyday on my walks and it enhances my workout. It is made well and is good quality for the money.

I chose this weighted vest because it was one of few that did not use iron sand pouches. The iron sand pouches in most weighted vests evidently give off toxic smelling fumes that make the vests unusable for many. Users also report the iron sand pouches are difficult to remove and tuck back in. This vest gets a 5 star rating for it's solid iron weights. I was able to easily remove them to adjust location and total weight! For that reason alone I would buy this vest again. For the weights. However, I may end up piling these weights into my old bicycling backpack. First, the waist belt on this vest was impossible to assemble. I'm still not sure I got it right. There is a vague instruction included with a dark photo of how the waist belt looks and no detailed explanation re: how to assemble it. There are miles of velcro on this waist strap included, had to fold it three times so I had this thick belt kind of makeshift belt riding just under my ribcage. The whole thing is a bit short, doesn't go down to my waist. I am 5' 6" and weigh 112 lbs. The nylon adjustable"waist" nylon band with plastic clasp, as reported by other reviewers, slides out of place in a minute. I will have to add some kind of tape or pin to keep it secured. My other concern is the narrow neck opening. I have a skinny neck and small sloping shoulders. After my first walk, with only a few weights, the vest cut into my neck/trapezius muscles. I don't know how this works on a man with a normal sized neck. The neck opening is kind of small digging in with weight close to the neck. So, I'm a little leary about what happens when I add more weight. The vest is well constructed, with quality canvas type fabric. I'm going to try to adjust and work with it. Still glad I purchased it.

I’ve been using this vest for a few months and I love that the weights are adjustable and solid. I have been increasing the weight gradually and I am definitely getting stronger. I also purchased the heavier one for my husband and he’s been using it consistently. Walking up hills is a great fat burner! And I love that I’m protecting my bone density.

Made more for a man BUT I just tighten it up and on my way I go - I’m 5’2, 110lbs. Love the legit weights which are better than sand bag weights. I am very happy with this purchase.

I got this for my husband. He is bigger and it fits great! He likes that it is adjustable and can use as much or as little weight as he likes. I’m glad it has reflective strips!

Absolutely comfortable and amazing fit highly recommend over any other weighted vest I’ve used

Solid build, comfortable and options to remove weights as needed. I started to wear the vest on the walks with the dog around the neighborhood and walks in general.
