Where do I buy the weight s for the weight vest?

Any good sporting goods store should have 5# weights. Be aware that some 5# weights are too wide. I would recommend taking your vest into the store and testing. You should be able to put two 5# weights into each slot.

I bought this to use at my gym so just used the plates there. The 5lb Olympic plates just fit but with it takes a bit of finagling. If you are looking to purchase weights, then you can find individual plates at any large sporting goods store such as Dick's, Modells, etc. According to other reviews I read, it would be better to look for plates with 1" diameter holes as opposed to the larger diameter holes on Olympic plates as they should be secured more easily.

any sporting goods outlet, no special "weights" are required. You can use standard plates (1") or small Olympic weights (2") even tried the square shaped lead weights for SCBA diving belts. The weights are secured with several velcro straps so you can adjust the total weight and configuration as you wish, just be careful as mentioned because the weights need to be secured tightly or it will damage the vest. There are four separate placement location, two on the front and two on the back. It is a good idea to take the vest with you to the store. Hope this helps

You can try sports authority, sports chalet, dick's sporting goods, and any other sports store in the area. Bring your weight vest with you to get the right size for your vest; when you go to the store!

anywhere, there are no weights just for the vest. Where the vest into some sports store and see what fits.

You can buy 5 lbs plates at most sporting goods store. FYI, the pouches on the vest ripped so not sure if I'd recommend it.

All of the weights can be removed leaving only the vest itself, which probably weighs two or three pounds empty. Each weight is around 3 lbs i think.

Unsure of neck size, but weight limit for vest is extremely small...................not worth buying.

I tried on a long type vest and a short type vest at Dicks Sports before buying, I would suggest to do the same first before deciding. But, I like the short vest because it seems to put more weight on your shoulders, chest and upper back where the longer vest put a little more pressure on the lower back and not so much on the upper section of your back.

Try an auto parts store, just bring the belt in, they should be able to find the same belt for you. Sometimes fitness retailers tend to be over priced.

The military strap is a great deal cheaper (in price). I hang it from my portable chin-up bar. It's design is simpler and I guess some people my be fooled into thinking it's somehow inferior, but it work just fine for me. If it becomes too easy, try buying a weighted vest, 65 lbs, and take out weight at first, and add it back as you gain strength.

I can't answer this question because I can Not recommend this vest. I loved how it fit snug to your body, but after using it only 10 times it was already ripping at the corner of the weight. To the point I almost lost one weight. They needed to round their edges and coat the weights. That's a lot of money for 10 days of wear.

The weights are nicely packed small lead "pockets" in very strong nylon. The weights fit into zippered pockets on the back and the front. If you are considering this vest, I can say with great confidence "buy it". I have four of them - one stationed for me in each of the major cities I visit often on business. And at Amazon's price - a bargain. (I walked for three hours today wearing one of these in Seattle. The weight sits perfectly distributed on my body - I hardly even feel it - but those extra pounds add nicely to the workout.

Turn the scale over. There is a pounds - kilograms switch on the bottom just under where the weight display is located. Just slide the switch to poundss

It is an adjustable weight vest that comes with 40lbs of weight. The weight is adjustable in one pound increments and can easily be reconfigured to 20 lbs. I use it configured to 30 lbs. Great vest over all.

The weights fit in individual pockets, so once all the pockets are filled there is no where else to add weight. When I bought this vest I had the same concern (am I going to outgrow the 100lbs?), and I can say that I am not even close to maxing this thing out. It is HEAVY. Good quality vest by the way. Good luck

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

It's really simple to get a set of weights at big5 sporting goods...or any outlet such as that.....check our friends at amazon for a set of "free" weights...usually 110 lb. starter set. Other than not being sold with weights...a very nice machine!

Shipping costs tend to be directly associated with the weight of the package being shipped. Since this is a weighted vest that weighs 60 lbs, the shipping cost is going to be expensive.
