Swift360 Weighted Vest for Men 20/40lbs Adjustable Female Fitness Gear Cross-fit Training Exercise Camouflage/Black

I'm an "old geezer", nearly 80 years old and am fighting Type 2 Diabetes. In Adam Brown's book "Bright Spots & Landmines" he states that a 30 minute walk could lower your blood glucose level by 30 to 60 mg/dl. I've tried this and found, in my case, to be true. He indicates that riding a bike will double this result. I now walk every other day with the vest and am hoping to even get a better result. Adam recommends using a vest to increase heart rate while walking. I'll try this for a few months and plan on wearing the belt every day eventually. I walk daily and lift weights 4 times per week and ride my bike, now that the weather is finally getting better and daylight saving time is hear a few times per week. So, I like the vest, I think you can take out some of the weights but I'll stay with the 20 pounds. Try Adam's book too. My weight and BP are now normal but my A1c has spiked over the Winter - I'm to see my doc next week and I'm sure she is going to yell at me. I'm hoping the vest and Adam's book will get me back to an A1c of 7.

Very good product for training your upper body. I put it on for push ups and pull ups at home. It's also great for running. It helps you to train endurance.

Ok so I've had experience with the cross101 brand never had a whole lot of issues or complaints with them, I'm not sure if this is made by the same manufacturer. Upon opening I had high hopes and it looked promising (as the quality looked decent). My review is based on the workmanship. On my 2nd workout i noticed the strap coming lose..but it was actually ripping out during the workout...this was a 40lb vest. It could have been a defect during manufacturing. If k2 wants to send me another I will test and review, but I am gonna look at other brands this time. This one can't take much

This vest is sturdy, the weights are easy to change, and the velcro is wide and tough. The body adjustment strap is great, which helps reduce bouncing. The weights are sand bags, which I prefer due to their flexibility. That said, the shoulder straps are brutal and the pads provided are hard and painful. I haven't been able to wear this for more than 10 minutes thus far without it causing pain in both trapezius muscles so intense that the vest has to be removed.

Makes body weight excercises considerably more challenging. Fits well, doesn't bounce around too much.

The quality of the vest was great. Nice straps, build quality was nice, weight distribution was cool. However, the vest had a horrible odor to it. Like I don't know how to describe it. Not only that, it made my skin break out HORRIBLY. I have the scars, blisters, and scratches to prove it. My skin care regimen is consistent so I'm very attentive to these type of things and not only that, I haven't used it in weeks to make sure. So I know for fact that it was indeed the vest, since the hiatus in use, I haven't had that skin saga anymore. I don't even have sensitive and this tore my ass to shreds (pause), it really made the product literally unwearable. A refund would be HIGHLY appreciated.

The photos do not do justice. This vest has been great for me for about 3 months I have been using it. No issues, no rips. The shoulders dont hurt. Everything is good. Its actually pitch black unlike the faded tone shown in the photo. Oh and each weight is removable!!

Amazing vest with much better fit than straps on the sides. Pretty good shoulder padding so doesn't hurt you after long workouts
