A little scratchy but good value 
2007-06-26
If you plan on wearing at least a short sleeve shirt under this weightvest you'll be very happy with it. I got some scratches on my biceps from the seams while wearing a tanktop. For the price it's really worth it and I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
Good but could be better 2007-06-02
This vest is comfortable, but not snug or high-riding like I had hoped. It is too lose for running, but it does conform well to the body so it feels almost naturally comfortable. I do like the open mesh type material the vest is made of to help it breath while you sweat. It seems to be pretty sturdy, and I like the price for a 'training' type vest. When I can handle the weight consistantly and I get ready to run, I will look into something more suited to the movements.
Well constructed, but underweight

I've enjoyed almost daily use of my vest since its arrival. However when I received the vest, the first thing I did was count the weights. Yes, there were 20 of them there. I then weighed them on our scale used for postage (meaning that it is accurate) and the total for all the steel weights was only 17 pounds! I then put the vest itsself on the scale and it was still just 18 pounds. I'm disappointed that two pounds is missing, that's 2 bars of steel that should have been included.
Other than that, the construction of the vest is done well and so far it seems like a quality product. Just disappointed at not getting my full 20 pounds of weight.
Awesome weighted vest!

This vest is awesome. It is sturdy and well made. It is a little bulky but it is comfortable. I am using it and it makes my speed walking more of a workout. I was really happy that I purchased this vest.
Altus AACV20wt. vest 2008-05-14
I LOVE this vest. It kicks my workout up a notch. Also, due to the resistance element with the vest, I think it is helping me protect from osteoporosis. It is well-known that heavier women have less bone loss, because their skeleton has to carry more wt. At 130 lbs, I am 20lbs heavier with the vest, so I can protect my bones, without actually weighing more. I am a physician, so I think this is medically correct.
Love it! 2008-03-28
I love this vest. It is easy to use, easy to adjust the weight and comfortable. Great product!
Love at first sight 2008-03-03
This is a beautiful weighted vest, which allows you to very easily increase
or decrease the pounds you want to carry. I use it for cardio, to walk and run hills on the tread mill. Believe me if you want to boost your cardio routine this is the ticket. It might even save you from going 2X's a day if you are seriously training. I don't like looking like a member of a swat team when I am wearing it, but when I see the results when it is off....
