Product Information
Full details
The Adjustable Weighted Running Vest - 5Kg is designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to increase the intensity of their cardiovascular and bodyweight training. By adding 5kg of evenly distributed resistance, it helps improve stamina and calorie expenditure during activities like running, HIIT, and calisthenics. While it offers a secure fit for most body types, individuals with specific back sensitivities or those requiring heavier than 5kg resistance may find the fixed weight capacity limiting for their long-term progression.

FAQs
Can I remove the weights from the vest?
No, this specific model features integrated 5kg weights that are not designed to be removed or adjusted.
Is this vest machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash the vest; spot clean it with a damp cloth and mild detergent instead.
Will this fit all body types?
The adjustable strap system is designed to be highly versatile, fitting most adults comfortably by allowing for significant tightening or loosening.
Is it safe to wear in the dark?
Yes, the vest includes built-in reflective safety stripes that significantly improve visibility to motorists and others in low-light conditions.
Can I use this for swimming?
No, this vest is intended for dry-land exercise only and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
The vest bounces during running
Tighten the adjustable straps at the side or waist until the vest feels firm against your torso; ensure it is not too loose.
Skin irritation or chafing
Wear a compression shirt or a moisture-wicking base layer underneath the vest to act as a barrier against the straps.
Vest feels lopsided
Check to ensure the internal weight distribution remains symmetrical and the straps are tightened equally on both sides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your vest, slip it over your head like a jacket and secure the side straps tightly against your torso. Ensure the weight feels centered and does not sag low on your hips to prevent lower back strain. For compatibility, the adjustable straps accommodate most adult chest and waist sizes.
Care instructions include wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap after sweaty sessions to manage odor and hygiene. Do not submerge the vest in a washing machine, as the weight components are not intended for heavy saturation. Air dry the vest away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric's integrity and reflective properties.
