Review: Comfortable, sturdy, well-made, and a much-needed change up for the workout routine - I purchased this weighted vest (with shoulder pads) mainly to change up and increase the intensity of my cardio workouts which usually take place in the form of running/jogging. Having used the vest a number of times now, I'm quite happy that I purchased it. Comfort and fitment are critical to me. The vest molds well to my upper body and with a few adjustments on the side straps I find it to be pretty tolerable for running. I usually adjust it a time or two before beginning in order to dial-in just the right amount of "snugness," so it's not too tight so as to restrict my breathing, but also not too loose to bounce around while I pound the pavement. I have not had any issues whatsoever with the straps bothering my shoulders, albeit, this is only a 20-pound vest. It's comfortable enough during warmups and cool-downs that the vest is hardly noticeable to me. It's worth noting that it's been cold here, so I've been layering up with multiple shirts/sweatshirts, so that may provide a benefit in terms of the comfort of the shoulder straps. The materials and construction of the vest appear to be very robust. Time will tell, but based on what I see, this is a tough and rugged setup that is built to last. As far as the weights go, I was a little worried that since they are sand filled bags that they would be prone to failure and leaking, but they seem to be put together well enough. I've played around with them a bit and don't have any difficulty getting them out or back in to make adjustments. For what it is worth, and this is just my opinion based on what I am seeing, I think if you take the weight packs out, you want to keep them aside somewhere so they can hold their shape thereby making it easier to get them back into their compartments on the vest. For a touch over 40 bucks with the shoulder pads, I'm impressed with this vest. It bears the weight evenly and comfortably. I was looking as some vests with plates, but to me, for jogging, this type of vest seems like it affords the best fitment. Overall, this vest is a nice addition to workouts that were getting a bit stale, and at a price that seems pretty darn good. I really don't have anything bad to say about it, but if something changes in the future I will come back with an update. UPDATE 1/13/2024: Just wanted to pass along that after more than a year of regular use for jogging, this vest is still going strong and it shows virtually no signs of wear and tear. The vest, the weights - they all look perfectly fine and ready for more. The dimensions of this 20-pounder are perfect for me. The vest rides high on my abdomen/chest, and it does not bounce or flop around whatsoever. I can't speak to the other weight options, but in my opinion RUNmax nailed it pretty darn well with this 20 pound vest. However, there is one thing that irks me after a year of ownership, and that is the escalated price tag for this vest. I purchased my vest on December 13, 2022, for $40.46 (including tax). Here I am today updating this review on January 13, 2024, and the price has rocketed to $64.99, and that is without tax! I will repeat what I have already said - this is a great vest - tough, comfortable, and exceptionally designed. But, the new price of $64.99, well, I'm kind of without words for that. Review: A major upgrade in weighted vests. - This was the perfect upgrade to the previous weighted vest I was using. I went for the 60 pound version and may have overestimated how ready I was for it, but the 30 pound one I was using wasn't enough anymore. The ability to remove some of those weights allows me to ease into the full 60 pounds. It was definitely worth the money spent and the quality of the product and really effect for working up a sweat. Even with regular use I'm not seeing any real wear and tear. It's easy to adjust, a comfortable fit, and the shoulder pads ad a layer of comfort. It even has a drink holder for my Celsius! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. ## Features - ADJUSTABLE WEIGHTED VEST : Customize your workout with removable weights, allowing you to increase or decrease intensity.

I sometimes walk around the house with mine on for that “times 10 gravity” training. **Q: can i change the 60 lb vest into a 20 and up by taking wheights out** A: are the bars 10 pounds a piece **Q: Going to be Hiking or rucking will this vest work and be comfortable enough for that? Wil I need additional shoulder pads** A: I use the 40lb model to train for wildland firefighting, so I'm hiking several miles a day with this on. It's very much doable, but you have to be careful of a few things. 1.) I have the model without shoulder pads, and it definitely chafes, especially right at the base of the neck, if I don't wear a shirt or i wear a tank top. 2.) It does NOT breathe, so your entite torso will be drenched (which can lead to chafing at the shoulder, underarms and hips) and the vest itself will be soaked through so it gets pretty funky if you don't hang it out to dry afterwards. 3.) At least for me, the waist strap sits a bit higher than I would like, not down on my hips like a good ruck sack, so you have to really constrict the vest, and thus your breathing will be a bit impeded, so as to carry to weight off your shoulders; but, even then you definitely still feel a lot of the weight on your shoulders and after a while your back will be pretty upset. **Q: I'm looking to get this as a gift.The pictures don't really show if it covers the entire torso or not.Are sit ups possible? Why this over a short one?** A: It pretty much covers my entire torso... I'm not thinking this design is optimal for situps, but I'm guessing it could be done... I think holding a weighted ball or 25lb weight on my chest would be more suited for situps or crunches. I went with this one as it could hold up to 60lbs and the shorter vests held less weight. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable, sturdy, well-made, and a much-needed change up for the workout routine *by K***N on December 23, 2022* I purchased this weighted vest (with shoulder pads) mainly to change up and increase the intensity of my cardio workouts which usually take place in the form of running/jogging.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great vest. Easy weight adjustability. Velcro could be upgraded *by K***Y on March 11, 2025* Item purchased: adjustable 40lb vest with shoulder pads. It comes with 10 4lb weight bags. I have enjoyed the vest for the past few weeks. I can definitely feel a difference in my training. I am able to reduce the time on a treadmill/stairclimber yet get a much better workout. I really like the weight adjustability. I would buy again. Reduced 1 star for velcro and pocket Uses: outdoor walking, some running, treadmill, stairclimber. So far I've used 16lbs and 20lbs. I never weigh myself, I figure if my clothes are fitting well then who cares what the scale says. However, in this case I wanted to know how accurate the weight is in the vest. I determined that vest with 4 bags is 19lbs and with 5 bags is 23lbs. So the vest itself is 3 lbs. Cleaning: some reviews have noted a smell. Well that's what a washing is for. I wash mine after every 4-5 uses. No issues. The first time I washed it I washed it alone just in case any black dye came off. I put it in the dryer and then hang it over a chair. Breathing: Walking: when fitting the velcro strap I recommend taking in a full breath, hold it and then strap it down. Running: same as above except after strapping it do it just a little bit more. When running it can bounce a little but not bad. If you over tighten it is a bit constricting to breathe when running. Velcro: not the best. Each time I make sure to pat it down firmly. This could be upgraded. This is the reason for 4 stars 5 stars. I have NOT used the water bottle holder. Weight placement: the vest has 5 pockets in front and 5 in the rear. I messed around with weight placement to figure out my personal best Center of Gravity. This is my personal preference: 4 bags = 3 in back and 1 in front; 5 bags = 3 in back and 2 in front. If you have access to to a treadmill with an adjustable incline I'd recommend using that first to figure our how it effects you on a incline as opposed to on a flat surface. Pocket in front: not much to speak of here. I have an iPhone 16pro in an apple style case. It barely fits in the pocket. Don't plan on placing anything more than your phone in the pocket. Or a key with an ID card and no phone. Hopefully you have an Apple Watch or Google pay on you watch in the event you need to buy anything while your out. The pocket if difficult to access when using the vest. Basically place it in and once it's there forget about accessing it. Plan on using voice commands to do change music, answer phone calls, text someone, etc. My wife tried it a few times (5ft2"). It was too big for her and didn't fit quite right. Too much overlap in the waist band. The lower quality velcro wouldn't keep it snug. We purchased a different brand with 12lbs for her that more like a back pack style but isn't adjustable. She's happier. which course means I'm happier. ;) ## Frequently Bought Together - RUNmax Pro Weighted Vest 12lbs/ 20lbs/ 40lbs/ 50lbs/ 60lbs with Shoulder Pads Option - Prodigen Weighted Vest for Women and Men 8 12 16 20 25 30 Lbs with Reflective Stripe and Double Adjustable Buckle Straps Weight Vests for Strength Training, Jogging, Cardio, Weight Loss --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21964214-runmax-pro-weighted-vest-12lbs-20lbs-40lbs-50lbs-60lbs-shoulder](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/21964214-runmax-pro-weighted-vest-12lbs-20lbs-40lbs-50lbs-60lbs-shoulder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
