We R Sports™ XTR Weight Vest 5,10,15,20,30 Adjustable Weighted Vest Loss Running Gym Training

Very solid sturdy product so far.I am 5'10" and the vest fits comfortably enough. I think it has a pretty wide height range before it becomes too big/small.I bought the 20kg vest so I could scale down as needed. It's easy enough to remove individual weights but in the end I only use the vest at max weight. The good news though is that I also don't have any problem with individual weights falling out of their holders.I would say this is an excellent product for doing circuit training (Squats, pushups, jumping jacks etc.). I wouldn't advise wearing it to go running though. Aside from the fact that it would look really weird running outside with this type of vest, I think it's too heavy/bulky. When I do high knees running or jumping jacks, the vest jostles quite a bit and puts pressure on my shoulders. It's fine for circuit training but I'm guessing the continuous impact of running would be too much. You could scale down the weight I suppose or tighten the vest but I don't think that's a good idea as you'd be constricting your breathing too much.Overall excellent product.

No damage and product arrived on time.For potential buyers:Product weight: 15kgrA little about me:Age: 35Height: 185cmWeight: 92KgrSports I do (major work for lower body).1. Basketball ( Jumping, sprints, side movements - require to be as low as you can).2. Volleyball ( Jumping, low positioning and a little bit of running - chasing balls :).3. Running (Jogging 5k or 10k and some sprints).Playing Basketball and Volleyball since I was a kid in Greece. I still play Basketball for my local town and Volleyball in the London League. The reason I bought the Weight vest is to add extra weight to my training and improve jumping.As I mentioned above mostly I bought it to improve my jumping and my stamina for the games as both sports require intensive jumping and running (especially in basketball). When I play Volleyball I wear a T-shirt on top as I need to dive for the ball.I have the product for a week now and used it on both sports. I started with 5Kgr as I didn't want to damage my knees from the beginning.Sandbags are very secure and I have not experienced any issue. The velcro holds the vest very secure around you. The weight between the front and back is supported by two thick nylon straps, one running over each shoulder, but these strap runs along the *inside* of the vest, facing the wearer's body. There is a small padded shoulder area on the inside of the vest and the nylon straps run behind these interior shoulder pads in an attempt to protect the wearer from abrasions but this design is not effective.Overall it is a very good product.

I have been trained big with a friends expensive Reebok vest and the XTR is the closest to it. For the price it is of surprisingly good quality. The sand weights are in small packets and insert into pockets back and front of the vest. Having had three runs of three miles with 15kg the vest fits snugly and does not move much on the body so no friction burns. The neoprene is of good quality, the seams are strong and there is acres of Velcro so it will fit well on just about anyone. I thoroughly recommend it.

This fits very well. I like the colors too. Its filed with 258 grsm sand bage, the last one of these i had years ago had lead bars is and was not very configurable. the sand is better idea as it is move with you. I go running with this and its very conferable.Based on some other reviews, I think there are different constructions used for the different weight classes. I have the 10GK one and it is filled eith pockets of sand which can not just fall out, as they come tucked into pouches. See photos.Because they wrongly think that elements of my account match elements of an author’s Amazon account, what ever that means. I can't review her book so I just want everyone to know that the so called system to avoid any perception of bias is itself very bias. Just became I follow the anther on face book, I cant review it !!! Go read Kai by Michelle Abbott. its a good book.

I bought the 30kg version of this vest and it's been instrumental in me losing 40kg of weight through improved diet and walking as my only regular exercise. As I've lost weight, I've gradually added more weight to the vest to compensate.I haven't had any problems so far with build quality, all the stitching still seems ok after a lot of regular (but light) use, and, although one or two of the beanbag weights have come loose on the odd occasion, it doesn't happen very often, but this could just be down to the fact that I'm only using the vest when walking upright.The one serious problem I'd raise is with the very poor design of the shoulder padding. The weight between the front and back is supported by two thick nylon straps, one running over each shoulder, but these strap runs along the *inside* of the vest, facing the wearer's body. There is a small padded shoulder area on the inside of the vest and the nylon straps run behind these interior shoulder pads in an attempt to protect the wearer from abrasions but this design is not effective.It's now at the point that after a few days walking with 25kg of weight my shoulders are red raw in places and can take days to recover to the point where I can use the vest again. I've tried duct-taping bubblewrap over the offending areas and that has helped a little but, short of reducing the weight, which defeats the purpose of the vest, I'm going to have to modify the vest to make it wearable with anything approaching its claimed 30kg capacity.This didn't happen initially but it's gradually got worse over time as my upper body has thinned, especially around the neck and shoulders, and it is simply poor design to place the main support straps on the *inside* of the vest rather than over the outside where they would have been separated from the wearer's skin by the rest of the vest material.I walk the same route each day and would wear this vest every time if it weren't for the combination of poor design and inadequate shoulder padding.
