“I have had a 40lb weight vest for over 10 years, so it was time to upgrade. I was excited about this vest due to the cost, and moving from sand weights to metal. When I received the vest, the quality and durability of the vest already seemed much better than my old one. The weights would easily fall out of my old one, but this vest uses webbing and velcro to secure the weights. The wide shoulder straps also seemed like a good idea, but after wearing the vest for a while, I discovered I was very wrong. In theory, the increased contact with your body should help distribute the weight, but in my case, the straps hit in the middle of my traps first, concentrating the pressure there. After taking it off, I had red indents on my shoulders. For the time being, I'm using folded up socks to provide some cushion. Titan really needs to add some kind of padding or make the straps adjustable so you can change where the straps sit on the body.”
“I'm very happy with this vest, so much so that I'm taking the time to review it. For something that I have been wearing almost daily for about an hour per day, it's of great build quality. I like that it's not just filled with sand, but real weights. Very strong velcro latch also. A+”
“The vest works really well, staying securely in place around torso. The only issue is the shoulder straps limit the range of motion for pull-ups and dips, causing rubbing and pinching.”
