Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great weight vest - 12lbs didn't seem like a lot when I bought it, but after wearing - 12lbs is a big difference. I've used it for walking, stair master, cardio kickboxing, yoga, weightlifting, jillian micheals at-home workout dvds- it's great. fits fairly snug - i'm a M in most women's tops (s.8) and 36D - and I have the chest strap tightened down to fit. Does move around/shift a little, when I'm jumping or burpees or such, but really stays put. The sand inside stays really evenly distributed. Has been worn for 100+ hours of workouts, from low to high intensity, body weight to burpees - and has held up really well so far. I am impressed. Cell phone pouch is a little silly- doesn't fit the smart phones and is kinda flimsy. But i've put my keys in there when I go walking. I wouldn't really want to hold anything in there if you were doing anyting explosive or plyometirc. I have recommended it to several friends and fellow fitness enthusiasts looking to up their training. Would buy again myself if needed, very pleased!
