MiR Short Weighted Vest With Zipper Option 20lbs - 60lbs Solid Iron Weights. Workout Vest for Men and Women.

It looks great, Stays in place for inverted calisthenics movements Running 5k, speed, hill work Jump rope and shadow boxing... I also do a lot of burpees You can crank it down but it will restrict breathing but truthfully it doesn’t need it. I do double unders constantly and only have to to minor position adjustments. It’s short style allows me to wear it with a weighted dip belt just in case you need to level up past the base weight. The Zip is the better choice but it’s less max weight, I only got the zip because I wanted to easily put it on and take it off during a HIIT but truthfully, Once I finish with the heavy stuff, I drop it down to 20 or 30 pounds and literally do my whole workout wearing it. Literally it’s perfect except durability, I workout really hard 2 to 3 hours sometimes. It doesn’t feel cheap but after my first workout the Velcro is getting fuzzy, hopefully it holds up.

I did a lot of research and looked into several brands when it came to weighted vests. Had one weight vest (a brand named Go Gear that was definitely a no-go) that literally ripped while I was training with it for the first time. Got that one at Big 5 -- avoid that one at all cost. I researched the MIR vest and purchased it due to its reported quality and durability. I've been using it for a week and the MIR vest is easily my favorite/best/smartest purchase in recent memory. It's a high-quality, durable vest that will withstand a tough training regiment. The weights are metal, and I found them extremely easy to add and take out -- despite what some of these dummies in their reviews are saying about having difficulty doing this simple task. The vest itself, while worn, is easy to get used to. You can strap yourself in real tight so the weights don't bounce around or shift -- perfect for running, hiking, pull-ups, push-ups, and many other exercises. Bottom line, this vest is worth every penny. Purchase this one and enjoy the ride.

I purchased this vest to increase my workout intensity on the treadmill. I wasn't sure if 20lbs was enough, but after using this vest for about 3 weeks, I can confirm it is more than enough for my intended use. The vest itself is well made and strong. The pockets for the weights are sturdy and I have no concern with them unintentionally opening. With the 20lbs of weight, there are a bunch of empty pockets to add more weight. I distributed the weights evenly between the front and back. The vest is comfortable on my shoulders with just a T-shirt under it. There are two set of front d-rings for the chest strap. One set for those with larger chests and one for those with smaller chests. This allows you to secure the vest as tight as you want. All of the straps and buckles are heavy duty and feel like they will last a very long time. My only gripe with this vest is the ease of putting it on and taking it off. I have a big head and wear glasses and earbuds when running. To put this on or take it off, I have to remove my glasses and earbuds to fit my head through the opening. It's a minor inconvenience, but something to keep in mind if you plan on taking this on and off a lot. I have seen some vests that have a front zipper. That seems like it may be a better design for ease of getting it on and off.

After spending a good amount of time searching online for a well built vest, and decided the MIR over V-Force. I am training for crossfit and SEAL, and found that the shape of the MIR is more effective for close-hand exercises and provides the most overhead mobility. Right out of the box, vest didn't have instructions on how to set up the straps; but a little common sense, a youtube video, or some pictures will set you on your way. Have been running 3-5 mile distances, plus sprints with the vest reduced to 20 lbs without noticing any degradation to form. Sits comfortably on the shoulders. The first few days experienced mild discomfort with red markings around shoulders and armpits due to strapping, but was quickly overcome. I sometimes run at night, and wear a reflective band, but the MIR vest also provides a horizontal silver reflective strip about a 1/4" across the back. Each pouch holds two 1.5 lb bricks. It's worth mentioning that the pouches are just the right size for my molle pouches to carry my multi-tool and flashlight. Extremely pleased with shipping. Item was shipped same day as ordered, on the 3rd, and then received via USPS on the 6th (one day early). I'm an impatient consumer when it comes to online orders, and was happily surprised by the s/h service. I ordered this over the V-force specifically due to shape and mobility, however, I wish that MIR provided the same options as V-Force; color or pattern on vest, and a sweat liner. Overall, extremely pleased and would definitely recommend.

Nothing bad to say. This thing is rugged and well designed. Just ease into it - wearing too much weight you realize it and start feeling light headed. Ordered an extra set of 6 weights, but it comes with 6x 3 lb weights. Honestly, that's plenty to start with since most other vests stop at 10 lbs., but I wanted to make sure I had them available upfront. Fully loaded you get two rows of 6 pockets both in the front and the back, 24 total x 3 lbs weights you can get it to 72 lbs, which hats off to you if you can manage that. The weights are solid metal similar enough to a bar of soap in size, for a rough approximation. If you're crafty you could probably figure out your own weights out of smooth rocks or whatever but in a bag or something so they don't skip out, the pockets are open at the top and there's one big flap over them all, but smaller things would probably get out - you need to fill up the pocket. The metal bars are coated to not rust, slide in and out nicely, and not move around - they are perfect, just a little spendy. It lays comfortably, very rugged material even for the pockets which apparently isn't very common. The weights are snug in the pockets and have a large heavy Velcro flap that closes over the top - they aren't going anywhere whatever you do in any direction, any force. The shoulders have thick Velcro to attach the front to the back, so you can adjust it to your frame. With standard 6 weights, it held fine by itself, but with extra weights the Velcro would start to loosen up then I noticed the extra straps and double D rings to go over the shoulders to keep it together, basically use the Velcro to get the fitting right then strap it to keep it in place with weight. There are other straps to go around that will keep it from flopping around. Run, flip, jump, whatever - it'll be there for you. The head opening is pretty big, which is a good thing. It lifts on and off pretty easily. Setting it down it folds over in logical places even with the weights in, so it stores nicely overnight. There's no way this would hide under a shirt, but hopefully that goes without saying. Starting off, take it easy and wear it around the house to get a feel for how long you can wear it & how much weight. Too much can make it hard to breathe & make you lightheaded. This is perfect to grow into, take your time and do it smart, this thing will be there for the journey over years, I'm confident.

This weight vest is good quality. I use it a handful of times a week. It's held up well so far, with no sign of wear yet. It's comfortable to wear. It doesn't dig into my shoulders and fits well due to its adjustability. It's also rather trim. It's not big and bulky. I wouldn't recommend wearing it while doing bench presses. It's probably to bulky for that particular exercise. But for cardio exercises and leg day, it's perfect. Happy with my purchase.

My workouts were starting to feel boring. So... I added a 50lb vest into the mix. This thing makes every 45 minute workout feel like a triathlon. After using it for a few weeks I realized that I had to take a bunch of weight out because I noticed my body was demanding 9 hours of sleep in order to fully recover (and I just don't have time for that much sleep). After another 4 months of use I've finally worked my way back up to 50lbs and the thing is great. Makes me literally drip and pour sweat so heavy that it's got very clear salt lines after a few weeks of use (nothing that a quick cleaning doesn't fix). I lift with it on, I run with it on, I do plyo with it on. Expensive, yes. But adds enough intensity to make it worth every penny. Best part, even with all that heavy use, it shows no signs of wear and tear. I'm sure the thing will hold up for years to come.

I use for hiking, 40lbs adds enough challenge for me! Weight distribution is easy; little pockets for the weights to slip in & velcro shut. Sturdy under arm & over the shoulder velcro straps, complete range of arm motion while wearing it. I went with the zippered front so only had to mess with the velcro once. I initially ordered the short vest, but it turned out to be too small (I wear a 50R suit coat, for reference). Customer service was cool af. I sent them a few pics & explained it didn't fit, and a larger sized vest was otw the next day, no upcharge. These folks know how to do it.

Für meinen Bruder bestellt. Er ist damit sehr zufrieden und schwört auf ein effektives Training damit. Gut verarbeitet und kam viel früher als geplant an. Wegen der Klettverschlüsse (keine Schnallen) und der zu hoch angebrachten Gewichtstaschen, leider nur 4 Sterne. Diese hindern bei bestimmten Übungen manchmal den Ablauf etwas.

Producto muy estético, funcional altamente recomendado y ya llevo tiempo con el y no tiene detalles es de uso rudo

Sadly trying to buy the extra weights to fill ALL available holes in the vest is difficult and expensive and cannot find the stand alone weights here on Amazon.

Lo uso para caminar y hacer hike. Se ve bonito, se siente de buena calidad, el peso es modular. El peso que viene incluido es suficiente para empezar y progresar un poco. Mucho espacio para agregar más peso después.
