GoFit 40-Pound Weighted Vest

While doing research online, I was intrigued that a 40 lb weight vest was priced at approx. $75, considering that the average retail price was closer to $200+. I was worried about some of the reviews posted but decided to give the product a shot. Needless to say, I have been pleasantly satisfied and would recommend this product.

The vest itself has a number of positives: first, the fact that the weight is conveniently compartmentalized into 35 or so small weight bags offers me a lot of flexibility in terms of weight adjustment and configuration. I can put the weight high, center it on my breastbone, or place it low. I found that placing it in different configurations actually changes my workout approach. Second, I like the fact that I can adjust the vest solidly around my abdominal line, and not have to worry about the shoulder area, which is permanently stiched. Third, I also like the fact that it has broad shoulder straps, which has helped distribute the vest weight more comfortably. Apparently, this is a "product differentiator" with more expensive vests. The stiching has been solid so far...I was concerned because the vest is made of neoprene, but no problems so far.

I feel it has only a few negatives: the material of neoprene takes a little bit of time to get used to, particularly its smell right out of the box. I am still concerned about using neoprene b/c of potential stich breaks...my experience with wetsuits makes me leery of stiching in neoprene, but fortunately there are no zipper area or cuff areas that may generate fraying. The vest covers a lot of area, and neoprene really makes you sweat when you work out. Be very careful using this product in warm rooms or outside in the sun: HYDRATE. Finally, since the vest covers most of my torso, I get strange looks at the gym when I come inside wearing the vest! Thankfully, there is a logo on the front, but in today''s day and age, the average fellow gym rat would probably do a double take to make sure I''m not wearing some sort of bomb vest. Perhaps if they would offer a different color, such as grey or blue, it would make the product more friendly in public.

Overall, I thank GoFit for a solid product at a very reasonable price point. I am a former military man, who takes his workouts seriously, and this item will definitely enhance any fitness regimen. Thanks for reading!

Concept is good, but quality is poor, and customer service has been poor so far as well. Straps began to fall apart almost immediately. Contacted customer service over a month ago, and they said they would send a replacement. Have not recieved a replacement, or a response to my subsequent email. I would advise anyone considering this product to steer clear.

UPDATE: Eight months have gone by since my initial review. They still have not provided either a replacement or a refund. I strongly recommend that you don''t buy this or any other Gofit product odds are you''ll only regret it.

I recently purchased the GoFit 40lb weighted vest, and it''s everything I hoped it would be. I was looking to add weight to my speed walking workouts, and this vest has proved to be a good choice. The weight is balanced well between front and back of my body. The shoulder straps are comfortable and have given me no problems in hourlong walks. The velcro straps are adjustable to fit all but the largest of waists to insure a snug fit and no movement. I have even used the vest when working in the yard and weight lifting, though it does hamper some bending movements. The weights can be taken out if you need to make it lighter. I am well pleased with my purchase.
