Is it just me or does all the blocks in the pockets much heavier than 10 pounds? Can someone explain how the hyper vest is only 10 pds?

Hyperwear's weights are solid steel with zinc plating. The density causes almost everyone to guess that it is 20 lbs instead of 10. That is also why it is so thin and close to the body making it feel heavier. The shipping weight of the product is at 11 lbs because the fabric vest also has some weight of course. You can remove weights and start with less weight. It is fully adjustable.

the vest comes only with 10 lbs of weights but you can buy more and add to it if you want. The bigger the vest the more weights you can add. Go to hyperwear.com and it will tel you how much weight you can add to the size of each vest. Hope this helps.

my shoulders got a little uncomfortable until I got used to the vest. you can always take out some of the weights and work your way up. I've found the padding in the shoulders to be adequate, but I don't jog or run with the vest on.

The weight is divided into half pound iron bars secured in place by a snug Velcro pocket. Therefore, you can take out as much weight as you wish as a result. The pocket is also foam padded so as to reduce discomfort during long workouts.

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

No its not a real bullet proof vest its a bullet proof style vest. I bought it and realized it wasn't the right style I needed. but it does look nice and have many storage pockets. I'd honestly say it is good for typical wear.

The weights are evenly distributed front and back. No way will you be disappointed with this vest. So many options to vary total weight too.

I do not use this vest. I bought it for my 11 year old nephew to use when playing Airsoft and/or paintball. He is, however, obsessed with all things military and knows a lot about various weapons, ammunition, etc. I asked him if he thought it would hold AK47 magazines. (He was wearing it earlier this evening). He checked a few of the pockets and estimated that one or two of the pockets might hold a 30 round magazine. He has not used it for this though so I cannot be 100% certain.

I would say it's fairly light. It doesn't weigh the pocket down but you still know it's there since it will most likely be pressing up against your leg. If you are looking for an exact weight, I wouldn't be able to tell you :/

If you are already carrying 240lb why add more weight? this is a great set of weights with lots of adjustments but as an exercise and martial arts professional I would advise against you using it (at this time). Maybe, once you are down to your preferred weight, you could add the vest to build some extra stamina and power. But, I would be concerned about the strain on your heart until your weight is down. I hope this helps. Derek

I'd love to be able to answer this for you, but the vest I ordered for my dog was too big, and I returned it. The pockets are large, however. Hope that helps...

Yea it is. I think its adjustable in 2.5 pound increments. There are bars in the little pockets you can see on the front and back. The bars just slide in and out. You can also vary the weight so that either the front or the back is heavier. It is easier removing the top bars first and reinserting the bottom bars first. Hope this helps.

Mine wobbles / shakes if I use any of the three upper positions for dips. It is sturdy if I use the top lower position. With that I can do dips with my feet back and my knees are just above ground level at the bottom - so this wouldn't work with a belt/hanging weight. But fine with a vest. I am 185 and have had up to 45 pounds in a weight vest in it.

The vest itself is made from nylon and enables you to carry Mags, optics, etc. It does not contain SAPI plates or Kevlar. Do you honestly think that a ballistic vest can cost 30 dollars?

I bought two of these for my 10 & 11 year old grandsons. The vests have a wide range of adjustments and I am sure it would work for you. They are 85 & 95 lbs and at first the vest seemed to big, but they were able to adjust it down to fit them.
