Good weight bad fit

The weight is as per requirement but the vest keeps slipping off the shoulders. I intended to use it to intensify my HIIT workout but, I have to keep stopping to make adjustments.

Pros
  • The reflective strips provide extra visibility, making it a safe investment for outdoor workouts
Cons
  • May not be effective for certain exercises

Not for average athletic build

This vest didnt really work for me. It isnt able to adjust to the point of necessary snugness to not bounce around if you wear it while running. Its decent quality and comfortable, just didnt work for me.

Pros
  • BETTER THAN ADVERTISED!!!
Cons
  • Strap broke after 3 uses. Just trying to clip it, the clip pulled apart from the vest.

Good intentioned but poor in execution

I had intended to use to intensify training workouts and running. One run in and I knew this vest was not for me. The shoulder straps had loose stitching that dig into my shoulder and when I ran the shoulder straps would slide wider and wider. There needs to be a clip or fastener near the top to keep it together and keep from distracting. In addition, the loose stitches were pretty painful.

Pros
  • The vest is lightweight, allowing for maximum mobility and freedom of movement during workouts
Cons
  • May not provide enough resistance for advanced users

Great vest best in my review

This was a great vest for a shorty like me! The buckles on it made it easy to secure to myself. I didn’t have any issues with it feeling like it was oversized or anything like others had mentioned.

Pros
  • Strength Training Equipment
Cons
  • Could cause embarrassment in public settings

Good training tool you love to hate

Yep, running, climbing, stair stepping with a weighted vest is a definite love/hate relationship. This vest fits well and is comfortable on those very uncomfortable workouts, BUT after all that is the point! Great tool to make you stronger and to discipline yourself to work through discomfort.

Pros
  • Good Quality & Build-in Pockets
Cons
  • Can be too hot for outdoor use

Great for the price!

Pretty good for the price. I bought this to wear during my boot camps and it does make it more challenging. Great purchase!

Pros
  • Using a weighted vest can help to improve balance and stability, making it a great tool for overall fitness and performance
Cons
  • May be too restrictive for certain body types

Not weight adjustable.

The product headline is very confusing, there is no way to adjust the weight, you have to buy the specific weight you want which is not was I was after. Comfortable enough but came with no instructions on wearing or washing.

Pros
  • The vest is made from high-quality materials that are built to withstand intense workouts and any weather conditions
Cons
  • May not distribute weight evenly

Good vest!: my feedback

I wanted to amp up my workouts by adding weights and this vest fit the bill perfectly. It stays in place while walking and doing strength training, however it does slides a bit while running. Nonetheless I'm still happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Really loving this vest for morning treadmill workouts
Cons
  • Broke after 2 weeks.

Ripped after one workout

I used this for one workout and it started ripping on the shoulders. I’m so bummed I was really excited to have this. That's my review.

Pros
  • Adjustable Front & Side Straps
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other options

Came apart at the should seams

Been running in this since only June and it is falling apart! I am past my return window so hopefully if I write to the company they will give me a refund…

Pros
  • It is a great item, but it could use a little padding on the shoulders. However- I would buy it again!
Cons
  • Too heavy for some users

I USE IT IN MY PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSIONS WITH TRAUMA CLIENTS

I was looking for something that was a bit longer than the average ones out there. It is super easy to put on, which is critical with a traumatized clients who need to get re-grounded to her surroundings. I can't have them fumbling with belts or buckles. If I had purchased the lighter one, I might have used it myself around the house. I checked all the seams and they all seem well sewn. None of the issues other people have raised. I highly recommend it!

Pros
  • It's perfect for travel and outdoor workouts, as it's easy to pack and transport
Cons
  • Could cause visibility issues during outdoor workouts

Good but chest strap breaks easily

It’s comfortable to workout in but the chest strap broke the first time I used it, I was sent a replacement and that chest strap broke the third time I used it. Now I just use an extra Velcro strap to wrap around the shoulders and it works well enough. If the chest strap was better quality it would be a five start product.

Pros
  • Love it
Cons
  • Be careful when ordering my vest was missing the other side elastic straps. Cant even wear it

Item arrived with a broken piece

As the title says, my vest arrived with one of the plastic side rings already broken. What a disappointment. It certainly doesn't tighten correctly now which makes the fit terrible.

Pros
  • The vest's secure fit allows for maximum comfort and it won't bounce around during your workouts
Cons
  • May not be useful for people with preexisting injuries or conditions

Comfortable for workout.and effective

I bought this vest to add weight to my walking routine and it is very effective. I noticed better slimming results after wearing it for a couple of weeks. I got the 12 lbs vest and it is an honest 12 lbs! I get a workout just putting it on and you know you've gotten in a good workout when you are done. I walk 3.5 miles a day first thing in the morning and like I said before, with this vest, I am enjoying the results I am seeing!

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • Bulky and may get in the way during certain exercises

Good product in my review

I USE THIS PRODUCT FOR PERSONAL FITNESS, THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE SHOULDER STRAPS MOVE DOWN YOUR SHOULDERS WHILE YOU ARE RUNNING,,,NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP THEM IN PLACE.

Pros
  • It's a great way to mix up your routine and challenge your body in new ways
Cons
  • May not provide enough resistance for strength training goals

Great vest - my new review

I use it when I walk my dog and love it. Great fit for me, I am 6 feet 1 inch and weigh 250 lbs and it fits me like a champ. We walk at least 5,000 steps and I can really tell the difference when we finish. I would recommend this vest to anyone that wants to strengthen their legs.

Pros
  • The ease of customization and use makes it a great tool for home workouts or gyms with limited space or equipment
Cons
  • Could lead to injury if not used properly

Problems with the shoulder straps

I’m 5’1 my husband is 5’6 we have both used this vest it’s not comfortable for running, I would not recommend this if your planning on jogging or running, for walking it’s ok. The straps keep sliding down and it’s not very comfortable at all. I wish it had an additional strap at the front, in addition to the one it has already, I think that would make a difference with it moving and sliding down. You get what you pay for I guess.

Pros
  • It's available in a range of weight options, from 8-20 lbs, allowing you to gradually increase resistance and build strength
Cons
  • Can be difficult to put on and take off

Already leaking after 3 uses

This vest is exactly what I was looking for except there is already red sand leaking from it after wearing it to work out 3 times. The reflective piece that's sewn onto the straps are both already starting to peel off too. We'll see how much longer it lasts. Pretty bummed.

Pros
  • Investing in a RitFit Weighted Vest can help to maximize the benefits of strength training and cardio workouts
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean and maintain

Good value, makes workouts better/harder

Comfy and soft (for a weight vest 😃) it could Velcro a smudge tighter at the waist to make it tighter, but the side tethers make up for it some. However, I’m a pretty small person. I like it.

Pros
  • The vest can be used for a wide variety of exercises, including push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, and more
Cons
  • Could cause overheating during summer months

Packaging is awful - my new review

While the product itself is good-the packaging was absolutely awful. It rained on the day of delivery and when I opened the package when I arrived home from work, the vest was soaking wet. It was literally thrown in a box without even having plastic around it so even if the box was wet, the vest would be in ok shape.

Pros
  • I wear it on the treadmill. a. little added pressure. like it.
Cons
  • May limit range of motion
