Looks really cool! Great quality here. Good stitching, good materials, good design. It has significant heft to it - 22lbs I was told. I haven't yet weighed it. But it fits close to the body without any plates or bags to shift around, which feels amazing! I don't know what's in here, but it's not a standard gel insert. The weight is not adjustable. It hides well under loose clothing. And it's pretty tough, too. Looks and feels like Batman armor. I had a friend hit me with a bat and felt no discomfort! It is quite taught in the shoulders for me, restricting arm movement some. And I'm a big guy - 6'2, 205lbs. So, if you're smaller, beware. It's big. But honestly, some red spots in the shoulders is worth it for me. Most vests shift all over and provide little protection. This feels pretty awesome. Would definitely recommend to anyone 6', and anyone with broad shoulders.

First impressions when getting it out the box was very exciting and promising when I picked that actual vest up it felt wonderful and well made. I don't know what kind of leather was used but after a week it's holding up pretty well. Now onto the important part how does it feel with it on: one thing to not continuously wearing it will cause discomfort on the shoulders ( im 5'7 and 173lb im kinda small for my age and wight) to the point where me myself im squirming around in it trying to relieve or get some comfort for my shoulders but it's a great fit nonetheless. It's well balanced and equally distributed unmoving fixed weights and the velcro straps are holding up very nicely even after I keep un-strapping them the wear and tear is very minimal so good job! You can't easily squat, bend over, or bring your stretched out arms to a single point in in front of you but I still try with some effort it's not impossible unless you want to keep this pristine I suggest only upright standing exercises for this vest as the range of motion is limited. For the price it's definitely worth it since it also has that feeling of being in body armor. So all in all great product would love it if they had a 30lb aswell. For cleaning obviously you should use disinfectant wipes/spray. 4 stars because I love stuff like this that makes me feel secure torso wise and one last thing sitting down comfortably in it is near impossible if ur looking for comfort when resting obviously just take it off (which I don't do)

I am utilizing this product for Cardio and Strength Training

At first I couldn't figure out the straps. But now I got it figured I love it! Yea it sure has an unforgettable aroma but I don't think it's harmful has dissipated with time! I use it with my TRX soft sand runs Mo betta!
