Fantastic All-Around Weighted Vest — Great for Everyone
The Henkelion Weighted Vest is an awesome piece of gear for anyone looking to level up their workouts. It’s comfortable, well-made, and super versatile — perfect for men, women, and even kids (with proper supervision). The included weights make it easy to get started right away. • Adjustable weight: You can add or remove weights to match your fitness level, which is great for progressive training. • Comfortable fit: The vest sits snugly without bouncing around during runs, jumps, or strength training. • Universal use: I’ve used it for walking, bodyweight exercises, and HIIT sessions — and it works beautifully across them all. • Quality build: The materials feel durable and the design feels thoughtful, with good padding where it counts. A few notes: • It does feel heavier than expected when first putting it on, but that’s exactly the point — it’s challenging! • Make sure you adjust it properly so it doesn’t restrict breathing during intense workouts. Bottom line: If you want to add resistance to your workouts without bulking up equipment, the Henkelion Weighted Vest is a great choice. I’d recommend it for anyone from beginners to advanced athletes.

Very comfortable
190lb guy, I have the 20b best. I also have the goruck plate carrier, another off brand vest from amazon, 5.11 weighted vest and the wildgym feather ruck. The goruck plate carrier is a super solid build, but really uncomfortable. 5.11 is comfy also. Just got the wildgym, but it seems good. This henkelion vest, so far, is the most comfortable. Its as little thicker, but I think that is worth the comfort. Its not adjustable, which is actually a good thing. My other amazon generic vest is adjustable, and the little weight packs make it uncomfortable. For the money, I don't think this vest can be beat. I have done about hikes with it, so about 60 miles with it. It is holding up, not issues.

GREAT weighted vest !!
This vest is a great item to level up my workouts. The quality is great, no smell and it’s easy to adjust. Weight was perfect for my size and I went by the chart they recommended for my height and weight. It has some stretch to it and it actually really comfortable. I have added to my leg day workouts, walks and slower more controlled workouts. I’m so happy I purchased this !

Great Vest but strong chemical smell that hasn’t dissipated
I’m going to cut to the chase here, it’s a good vest and challenges me as I hike or walk around the neighborhood. I also wanted to use it indoor as well. However, the chemical smell is bad. I’ve let it air out in my garage for months and it still smells. I use it outside but I brought it in for my treadmill and let it sit in that room overnight and it stunk bad. The off gassing is pungent with this. So it fits well, is adjustable, durable, functional but it stinks. Proceed with your own level of comfort with these types of things. I only feel moderately comfortable wearing outside given the stink.

Comfortable
I walk 4-5 miles per day and ordered the 6lb vest in black. It’s comfortable and definitely makes a difference in my workout! You can start slow and wear it a mile or 2 and then take it off. I definitely recommend it!

Turn Your Walk Into a Workout
I have a standard walking routine. I walk at least 3-4 times a week, 3.25 miles each time I walk. The first time I walked with this 12-pound vest, I was amazed at how it dialed up my walk. First off, the fit is good. The front closure is adjustable and hit me where an 18-20 inch necklace would hit my chest. I kept the closure snug, but not tight. I don't think the closure would be comfortable for women with big boobs - which is a problem I don't have. I could feel the weight of the vest and it made me stand up straight and focus on my walking form. I was prepared to turn around if I needed to walk back to my car to take it off but by mile two I was getting used to it but I could tell my heart rate was higher than it would be on one of my normal walks. By the time I made it back to my car, I felt pretty accomplished at being able to complete my normal walk (blacktop road with smooth incline and decline on way back - in 85 degree sunny weather). I would not recommend the use of this vest if you are new to walking or working out. As a seasoned walker, I found it challenging in the best way. I plan on using it once/twice a week for a while until I fully adjust to it.

Solid value for this weighted workout vest, good reflectivity.
Excellent workout accessory to increase load and resistance in aerobic situations. Stitching can separate so careful dressing and removal of it will extend life of item. By the time you need another you will want a greater weight if used regularly.

Great for walking, not ideal for running
This weighted vest is excellent for walking. It adds the perfect amount of resistance and really helps me keep my shoulders back while I'm moving. I got the 12lb version, and it's a good challenge—though I probably could have gone a little heavier. The description states that it's suitable for men, women, and kids, but the vest is the same size for all. It only comes in different weights, not sizes. There's an adjustable strap in the front to tighten it, which helps somewhat, but the fit is just not great for smaller frames. I'm a woman, 5'1" and 115 lbs, and even with the strap pulled as tight as possible, it still slides off my shoulders and shifts toward my back. For walking, it's fine—I just occasionally have to pull it forward again to keep it in place. But when I run with it, that's where the problems start. The vest bounces up and down, rubbing against my back and causing irritation. Every time I do a running workout, I end up with road rash from the friction. I wish the brand offered different sizes for men and women, as men typically have broader shoulders and women often require a smaller, more fitted option. Overall, it's a solid vest for walking or light workouts, but not secure enough for running or high-impact exercise.

I am a sporty petite stature (4'11") and this vest is by far my favorite (i also have the v-type and the adjustable cop-like type) quite often vests tends to put pressure on my upper back or neck and this one doesn't. Keep in mind i am not using this vest for HIIT. I have discovered that keeping it a bit loose fitting and only using the top clip leaves me with no pressure points or with early fatigue. Barely feel that it's on. Wear it around the house while you do chores or walking, treadmill, elliptical or on Leg, lower body work out days as an added bonus to your skeletal system.

I wasn’t sure this would live up to my expectations, and I was particularly concerned about the weight distribution — but it feels surprisingly even. I can definitely feel that I’m wearing it on my walks, and even though I’ve only used it about five times this past week, I already notice a difference. I feel it in my neck and shoulders as well, which is expected when carrying extra weight on the upper body. It also seems to be helping with my posture, as it naturally pulls my shoulders back, which is a bonus. The only downside so far is that I’ve developed a rash around my neck and shoulders since I started wearing it, and I’m still trying to figure out what’s causing that. May not be related but has only appeared since I started to wear it.

I really like this weighted vest. I live in London and don't drive so I walk a lot. I wear the vest at the weekend when I am going to the shops or walking in the park. It just adds a little bit more exercise to the walking, which is great. I did not go for a very heavy vest as I thought that would put me off walking. So I went for an 8 pound vest and it is perfect.
