4 Pounds feels lighter than it is
I have found this vest to feel lighter than another very expensive one that I tried first. I weighed this one and it is a tad over 4 lbs. I wear it for exercise walking and don't really notice it. I do not like the lumpiness if worn under a shirt or jacket and the fact that it looks like a harness. It also has a slight petrol odor but not enough to bother me. The other vest I tried looked like clothing, had thin weights, and allowed for adding or subtracting weights. However it rode up in front and it was sweat inducing. For $100 less, this one serves the purpose.

Perfect fit for women!
This is a great fitting weighted vest for women. It is adjustable but made for a woman. Starting out with the 4 lb weight is perfect when you're new to wearing a weighted vest. I like the fact the weight is in the sand that is sewn into the vest. The only downside is the weight can not be adjusted. It's a shame they don't make a 6 lb vest so you can graduate upwards. It would be a bit difficult to go from a 4 lb vest to an 8 lb vest without hurting yourself.

I love it and hate it!
I bought this vest for my daughter for her to use for training, per her technical coach. Well, she's yet to use it. So instead of letting the vest sit and collect dust. I decided to throw it on and use it. My daughter runs track. So while she's doing her thing on the track, I run laps. I just started doing this thought. And I must say, I can feel the "extra" weight. It's light enough, but heavy enough too. Especially running a 400. My body aches from wearing the vest and running. In a good way thought. I'll continue to train w/ this vest until the weight no longer affects me.

Easy to wear weight vest!
I like that the weight vest fits comfortable and it can be adjusted. When walking or exercising I don't feel restricted. It is the right amount of weight (4lbs). When walking in the neighborhood, I always get stop and asked what am I wearing and after I explain they asked where did I get it.

Comfortable!
This vest is so comfortable. I was worried it would be too hot when I was walking and exercising but it's not. It's easy to put on and take off. I'm really glad my physical therapist recommended it.

Causes joint damage.
Hurt my knees! My back hurt right away after only 5 minutes in the best in the house. The knees however couldn’t take the added weight. I should have researched before buying because turns out there is zero evidence that weighted vests increase bone density which was why I bought it. The risk is real - joint damage.

Comfortable!
This vest is comfortable and can adjust to fit properly. It is sleek and stylish for what it is. I have the 4lb and wear it on walks, etc just for the added effort making for a better workout. Very happy with this product!

Enjoying My Weighted Vest
Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis I use this vest everywhere I walk. It fits under any of my jackets and the weight is evenly disbursed. It fits my body snugly but not too tight as to cause any rubbing or discomfort. Highly recommend.
