Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I m 5' 7" and can weight between 160 - 175 depending on my diet and workout goals. I got the medium vest which is a snug fit just a bit uncomfortable but not enough to hinder any of my workouts. I m not sure if a large would fit me better but that is something to consider when picking a size. I honestly like using the vest. I wear it almost every time I m at the gym or out running. Its great for a lot of the body weight works such as push ups, pull ups, and plyometrics, I have played basketball while wearing the vest without a lot of problems. The only reason why I wont give this 5 stars is because mine is only fraying. I have had the vest for almost 6 months and the little metal plates they use weights are beginning to make small holes in the vest. While not a major problem since the vest is still usable it makes me question the lifespan of the vest. I know I will rate this 1 star if the vest falls apart on me before the end of the year. Edit: I had to change my rating because the vest ended up falling apart on me before the end of the year. While it is nice and balance which is exactly what you want with a weight vest but its simply not made to support the little weights. Little holes stared appearing where the corners of weight contact the material. They slowly grow bigger with very view ways to patch the problem. Then it finally happened the weight fell through the pocket. Going over the vest again, I see a few more holes ready for the weights to fall out. Simply the vest is not work the price of $170 due the failure of materials I say the vest should only cost about $70.
