POLYFIT Fortify Weighted Vest

The fit is perfect with adjustable shoulder straps so it fit snug to the body without restricting movement. The split weight pockets to distribute weight evenly really supports you so you aren’t carrying the weight all on your back. Material is quality material. The side pockets are great to store items.

Long overdue review...the vest has been great! I use it mostly for cardio and the fit is great. Worth the purchase...

This was perfect for my ruck challenge I did last quarter. It was as comfortable as a weighted vest can be lol I love that you can put whatever patches you want on it to motivate you and keep rucking!

Vest is great for the price. Fits comfortably and has held up well with quite a bit of use.

I am a 5'9, 135 pound woman. Because I'm quite skinny, I have to tighten the vest a good amount to fit securely around me. However, the main straps that go up front are soft velcro on both sides while the plate is the sticky side, so the straps will only secure to the vest itself, not each other. So, I have to wear the vest as tight as I can get it with the straps secured but it still is pretty loose around my waist. However, the shoulder straps are fairly adjustable and comfortable to wear, and I usually run two 20lb plates in mine without discomfort. The vest holds the plates super snug, and I can run and jump around and not worry about them falling out. Quality fabric, and lots of places to put patches on.

Very nice, fits great, I can easily run in this

I tried a few of these vests and this is the one that doesn’t hurt my shoulders. The adjustability of the shoulder straps is a big reason.

This vest was fine, but after trying another Polyfit weighted vest (the one with individual bricks), I ended up liking that one. The brick-style weights give you a lot more flexibility to adjust the weight exactly how you want it, which works better for different workouts or progressions. Also, I found the other vest just fit better overall—it was more comfortable and felt more balanced on my body during movement. This one isn’t bad, but if you’re looking for more flexibility and a better fit, I’d recommend checking out the version with the bricks instead.

It's difficult to put the weights in the vest because the Velcro is so incredibly strong (if you don't have strong hands, it's difficult to do) I had to get to somebody to do it for me. I have tendinitis in my hands and wrists. The weights go in the vest from the bottom up - which makes a person think that the weights could fall out and break your foot. I guess this is where the strong Velcro comes in to play. I noticed throughout the descriptions and the ratings - that no one mentioned a "woman" wearing the vest. I was a tad worried that it would be too big for me, after all, the video does show a great big strong man using the vest. I'm a 68-year-old woman with loads of medical issues (pain) and I'm extremely pleased with the vest. It is very sturdy and I think it will last a lot longer than my lifetime. I'm 5.5", weigh 150 pounds and I wouldn't describe myself as strong. Once my friend installed the weights, he said, how are you going to get it on? (lol, hadn't thought of that before) ... I laid it on my bed and basically crawled my upper body into the vest. I did the same thing to take it off. The vest fits me without having to do any adjustments.. it's a tad loose, which I like! I'm carrying 11 pounds + the vest weighs 2 pounds. I wore it the first time today for 2.5 hours as I putzed around my home. It felt good. I have an atrophied rotator cuff muscle, which creates a lot of pain in the neck and shoulder region. Carrying 13 pounds and my shoulder pain was minimal. The shoulder pads are nicely padded. I highly recommend this weighted vest. I never buy anything without doing my research, and as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best vest out there!!! I found others that I liked, but being a prime member, and getting free delivery, sealed the deal. SP

I was kinda skeptical to buy a carrier for $90 but I am pleasantly surprised. The quality is better than some of my more expensive carriers. It fits great and is comfortable. Would highly recommend to introduce to your workouts.

Seems good quality for price. 10lb plates fit nicely in front and back pockets, good velcro straps and closures, very secure.

5kg competition plates or 10lb plates fit. I was able to fit 2 in the front carrier and 2 more in the back for an easy added 20kg (44lbs). Carrier could be a little larger overall but I'm a pretty wide lifter.

Does not come with the weight plates. $130 for just the vest is ridiculous.
