GoFit 40-Pound Weighted Vest Review

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!
