ZELUS Weighted Vest, 6lb/8lb/12lb/16lb/20lb/25lb/30lb Weight Vest with Reflective Stripe for Workout, Strength Training, Running, Fitness, Muscle Building, Weight Loss, Weightlifting

This ZELUS weighted vest is well-balanced, comfortable, and stays put no matter what you’re doing. The weight is distributed evenly, so it doesn’t bounce around during runs, hikes, or strength training. The material feels durable, and the reflective stripe is a smart touch for early-morning or evening workouts. It adds just the right amount of intensity without feeling bulky, and the fit is snug without restricting movement. Whether you’re training for strength, conditioning, or weight loss, it delivers a noticeable boost in effort. A solid, reliable vest that makes every workout more effective.

I’ve been training with the ZELUS Weighted Vest for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the overall build quality and comfort. I chose the 12 lb version because I weigh 110 lbs, but I like that it comes in multiple weight options so you can start lighter and progress over time. What I love: Comfortable, secure fit. The vest hugs the body well without shifting around, even during runs or cardio workouts. The adjustable straps make it easy to adjust for the right fit. Even weight distribution. The weight is balanced front and back, which really helps avoid strain on the shoulders or lower back. Reflective safety strip. I don't run outdoors, but if you run early in the morning and at dusk outdoors , this small detail is surprisingly useful. Durable materials. The stitching and fabric feel strong. No leaking weight packets or frayed seams so far. Performance Results: This vest adds just the right level of resistance to push workouts to the next level—bodyweight squats, push-ups, stair runs, and even just walking feel more challenging in a good way. I’ve noticed improved stamina and muscle engagement, especially in my core and legs. Comfort Note: There is some shoulder pressure when wearing it for a long period, but that’s expected with any weighted vest. A quick adjustment or slight break usually solves it. Bottom Line: If you're looking to intensify workouts, improve endurance, or add resistance without complicated equipment, the ZELUS Weighted Vest is a great investment. Solid quality, comfortable fit, and well worth the price.

Got the 20 pound vest. Probably should have started lower but I recently lost 20-25 pounds so thought I'd add it back for walking/hiking. I am 5'2 and 145 (now). The vest does have a fairly strong chemical odor but that seems to be going away after about a week. 20 pounds is a lot heavier than I anticipated and my joints immediately felt the weight suddenly being added back on!. The vest is pretty comfortable and the weight distribution is good. I use this on my 1-2 mile dog walks and for that it is very comfortable. I have tried it on a longer (6 mile) walk with a few hills and I do experience some shoulder/upper back discomfort, which I hope will go away once my body adjusts. I couldn't imagine running in it but I am sure some brave souls do so!

The weighted vest itself is awesome. It does have a strong odor when you first get it, but I am sure it'll air out (just like any memory foam pillow/mattress). It's very comfortable and sits at the upper portion of the torso. Pretty straightforward to put on, secure, and adjust. My ONLY gripe is the included phone carrier. Pictures make it looks much larger than it is, as it does not fit my Galaxy 24 Ultra (doubt it'd fit any Pro Max iphone). If you have a smaller phone it'll prob be no issue, but I specifically chose this one to use the phone pouch, but it's too small unfortunately. I'll still use it and can probably still use the pouch for my phone, but I wouldn't be able to zip it up. Regardless, if you're just looking for the vest, it's comfortable and sure beats having the adjustable ones with bulky metal plates that make it feel extra stiff.

I purchased the 6 lbs because I am starting out. I am impressed with the overall Zelus build and comfort, as well that it comes in multiple weight options so you can start lighter and progress over time. It is comfortable and felt secure in its fit. The vest hugs my body well without shifting around, even during cardio workouts. The adjustable straps make it easy to adjust. And it has even weight distribution - front and back. The stitching and fabric feel strong. No leaking weight packets or frayed seams. It’s solid quality, comfortable fit, and am pleased with it.

Weird smell at first but I think it's going away. Effective, comfortable, and adjustable across the chest. The cellphone holder can be annoying but it at least gives you the option to store your phone in the front if needed.

I didn’t listen to anyone and went for the 20lb glad I did. Help me build endurance. I wish it had a pouch for a water bottle but I just squeezed it between the straps. Great for treadmill workout and walking, and if you’re really into fitness doing HIIT workouts with it. You’ll slim down in no time! This keeps you accountable because if you stop for a week you’ll feel like it’s impossible to put on! I would not recommend 20lb for running unless you want back pain. Best purchase ever! Fits great, I’m 5’4 145lb

This was perfect for my daily walks, I wish I would of gotten a heavier weight but I was not sure how the rest would fit / the weight would feel. I just recommend airing it out it had that rubber scent for a few days. Otherwise fit nicely and was easily adjustable.
