The best reviewed weight vests on the internet

Weight vests are a great way to add additional weights to your workouts for increased muscle growth, increased endurance, and bulging muscles. These vests have special pockets that allow you to add or remove weights as you see fit, based on your goals, this allows you to have your hands free to either lift additional weights, or go on runs and hikes. This is a good way to train for marathons, with the added exertion and weight, the hardest part will be behind you, when you actually run marathon. Studies have shown that adding a 10-20 lb weight vest can actually improve your bone density by between 4 and 10% especially if you are diagnosed with osteoporosis or are a menopausal woman. Muscles, functional strength and overall health will also improve.

  • Lose weight faster – Weight vests force your body to work at a much higher rpm, causing faster weight loss.
  • Increase bone density – Much like fighting the more strain you put on yourself the stronger you come out for it.

ZFOsports Weighted Vest 40lbs/60lbs/80lbs

Weight vests - The ZFO sports weight vest features a pocket for your water bottle, phone, and additional weight pockets.

With nearly 1000 reviews, this was the most bought vest on the market. It has a multititude of working pockets besides those designated for the weights, and comes in 3 different weight classes and 2 different styles. Although the Hyperwear Hyper Vest PRO won the Men’s  health award for best gear. The sheer amount of negative reviews for that particular product eliminated it from the finals. No vest should have broken stitching out of the box and several reviews state that for the Hyperwear Hyper Vest PRO. Functional, looks great, and has a variety of weight options, this took our place for the best weight vest on the market.
