CAP Barbell Adjustable Weighted Vest | Various Sizes

Came in handy for days I couldn’t make it to the gym. Well made and sturdy. Only con for me is that it’s a bit too long for me so it gets in the way when I’m trying to do my squat workouts

Comfortable, wider than I expected but still functional.complete set of very nicely coated weights. Super easy on off. No smell. Great quality, I should of purchased a long time ago its worth every penny. Makes doing the laundry a great workout 👊🇺🇲

This vest is well made, I really want to love it, but the sizing is not great for smaller framed women. I have a difficult time getting it tight enough to where it is not moving and causing friction during my entire workout. I use it for weighted walks on the treadmill but cannot do much more than that given the sizing.

This is a great weighted vest. When it first comes out of the package, it has a bit of a smell, but once it is aired out, it is fine. The flexibility to add or take away weight is great! The purpose of our purchase was for weighted walking, and it's great. It took a bit to get used to as the side sticks out a bit (as pictured), and rubbed against my arm, but after wearing it more often (or under something), it's not bothersome. It is comfortable to wear with the weight and easy to put on. If you are looking for a weighted vest for walking, this is a great option. It is very affordable and of nice quality!

It heavy. Good luck with your training.

Love that you can remove some weight to adjust as needed!

I recently had the experience of trying out the CAP Barbell weighted vest, courtesy of my husband who unfortunately ordered two by mistake. Here’s an expansive review of both vests after utilizing them in five different CrossFit workouts.For context, my husband has a 34” waist and a 45” chest, and as a fitness instructor, he’s quite familiar with what’s needed for a solid workout. Upon assembly, placing the weights into the vest pockets was straightforward, and initially, it fit reasonably well. However, we soon encountered some notable challenges.One of the primary drawbacks is the lack of adjustability in the vest design. While it fits well enough for general workouts, it becomes cumbersome during high-intensity activities like sprints, burpees, and any jumping exercises. This limitation can impede performance, which is frustrating during a CrossFit session.Additionally, we observed that the Velcro rings began to stretch after just a few workouts. This issue was significant enough that they would come halfway off the adjustment straps, requiring him to stop mid-workout to re-thread them. Unfortunately, the problem escalated to the Velcro strap tearing completely off while he was wearing the vest. At that point, the vest became impractical, flopping around and rendering it essentially useless.In summary, after five workouts, the vest’s construction and materials became significant concerns. The steel rings, while sturdy in appearance, have proven too flexible under minimal force, affecting the overall usability. Given these issues, I would have to conclude that the CAP Barbell weighted vest is not a worthwhile investment; the combination of poor construction, limited adjustability, and subpar materials makes it difficult to recommend.It’s disappointing, as we had high hopes for this product based on its initial promise. If you’re considering a weighted vest, it may be worth exploring other options that offer better adjustability and durability.

Awesome vest. Adjustable weights. Comfortable and fits well with adjustable straps for various sizes.
