Real verified Zelus weighted vest reviews from women, rewritten in their own words.
Pretty petite female with broad shoulders, 12 lb flagship vest with the chest strap almost all the way closed. Some padding beneath the clasp keeps it comfortable. Reflective strips are doing real work on night walks.
16 lb flagship after 8 weeks postpartum. I'd plateaued at weight loss and the scale started moving the week I started wearing it. Clips are sturdy, back pocket holds my phone.
As a bigger-chested woman, the Z-Fit was the only vest that didn't crush me or look ridiculous. Fits with ease and stays low profile. Weight distribution is balanced — no more sore shoulders.
