Horrible Smell - Had to Return It Aug 29, 2009 I was looking forward to using this weight vest (which I'd asked my wife to get me for my birthday), but when I opened the box containing the weights I was overwhelmed by a horrible petrochemical-like smell. The box for the weights also had an oily-like stain on it. After airing out the box of weights for a few days, the smell remained extremely strong. I didn't want to inhale these fumes while doing aerobic exercise, so I decided to return the vest.
Before returning the vest, we contacted the manufacturer to complain. They said they'd received a similar complaint from another customer about the vest. They checked on the materials used in manufacturing the weights (the vest and weights were made in China) and told us the weights were made of silica gel. When I emailed them back to inform them that silica gel is odorless, they didn't respond. Also, the casing for the weights obviously wasn't silica gel. So we returned the vest to Amazon.
This all was frustrating because, apart from the horrid smell, I thought the vest was well-designed when I tried it on. It was a lot less like a flack jacket than I'd thought it would be and it was easily adjustable. Also, the silica gel weights were flexible, so I suspect they wouldn't have been stiff and uncomfortable while exercising. But because of the smell, I never did actually try out the vest.

What a Difference Sep 13, 2008 I have been walking for about the last 6 months and have been doing very well. I am older (56) and knew that I really needed to do some weight training as well. My friend bought a vest and was telling me about it so I purchased one. This one is great. Has a pocket for my cell phone and is very durable and comfortable. What a difference in my body after walking with this vest for 2 weeks. It works my abs, legs, and arms. It is terrific!

Great Vest Jul 28, 2008 I love this vest because I am 4'11" and I can adjust it to my size. I can add weights as I increase the resistance of my workout. It also makes you sweat. I recommend this product.
