The Pro Weighted Vest by RUNmax is a failsafe choice. It's available in 20, 40, or 50 lb sizes, giving you some variety, and features a convenient water-bottle pouch and phone pocket. You have the option to order it with or without shoulder pads for extra comfort, and thanks to even weight distribution, you won't have to worry about straining your shoulders.
If you're looking for the heaviest weighted vest you can find, look no further. This one is available up to 140 lbs (but also has some lighter options, like 80, 100, and 120), so it doesn't mess around. You can opt for shoulder pads when ordering if you want some more comfort. If you decide to go lighter, you can fill the empty pockets with weights over time as you increase your resistance.Â
Weighted vests can be a little basic, so if you want something with a little more personality, opt for this camo vest. It's comfortable, flexible, and comes with 20-80 pound weights. You can also remove weights until you reach your desired weight, making the vest customizable.Â
You'll be hard-pressed to find a minimalist weighted vest, but this one is about as simple as it gets. The vest features thin, non-bulky straps that attach in the front, and is filled with chemical-free iron sand. It also has reflective strips on it, so if you're a night exercises, this is perfect for you.Â
There's nothing fun about sweating underneath a heavy weighted vest, which is why we love this breathable option. The 60 pound vest features an air flow design, keeping your body cool during workouts. The vest is also softer than standard weighted vests, so you'll be cool as well as comfortable. Â
