Description:
This adjustable weighted vest from Zelus adds progressive resistance to running, HIIT and bodyweight sessions, helping to build strength and endurance while keeping movement comfortable. With removable iron sand weight bags and a no-bounce design, it adapts to different training intensities and can be used for jogging, circuit work or strength conditioning.
Key Points
The vest comes in a one-size-fits-most layout that fits men and women and secures with hook-and-loop fasteners for a snug hold during dynamic exercise. It is made from soft neoprene that aims to balance comfort with durability, so you can wear it for longer training blocks without chafing. A large front pocket stores essentials such as a phone, keys or wallet, and reflective strips on the front, shoulders and back improve visibility on low-light runs. According to the manufacturer, the unloaded vest weighs 1.8 kg and the included weight bags allow incremental loading to increase workout intensity.

Usage Recommendations
Wear the vest snugly so the load remains stable during jumping, sprinting and rapid direction changes. Start with the lower weight setting and add bags progressively to assess tolerance and movement quality, especially for running and plyometric drills. Consider removing or reducing weight for mobility-focused sessions such as yoga or stretching to maintain range of motion.
Advantages
This model offers simple adjustability and portability, which makes it easy to switch between walking, interval training and resistance work without a bulky gym setup. The no-bounce construction helps prevent the weights shifting excessively during impact movements, and the integrated pocket keeps small items accessible while you train. As a practical note, the sand-filled bags may settle differently from solid metal plates and could feel slightly different during very high-impact exercises, according to the product description.
