Really snug fit!
The only reason I didn’t give this product a 5th star is because it comes with no instructions. This is my first weight vest, is it adjustable around your body on the sides?

Super comfortable vest!
This is the 3rd weighted vest I've owned. I initially had 20-pound BCG vest that was comfortable but was a little too big (almost like an oversized shirt). Then I picked up a 50-pound RUNMax vest from Amazon. That one came with shoulder pads but was uncomfortable on the traps with anything more than 40-pounds. Finally, I found this little gem (picked the Ranger green 40-pound plate model) and I couldn't be happier. I think it's the design that works so well as this vest uses plates like body armor versus little sandbags. I believe because the weight is pressed closer to the body, it puts less stress on the traps. Love the color and how cool I stay during my workouts.
