I am still trying to get rid of my weighted vest after the Christmas festivities:)

Probably best not to wear this in public if you are darker skinned. :smile:

Just realised I have a 70kg version at home I could put on my back - well I think she is at home but may be out at the takeaway place still!

Anyone spotted cheaper than 55£ anywhere else ? thanks

Seriously, why run 9.5 km in a vest. Should really only be used for strength training like hill sprints, strides on soft surfaces, running on sand, sand dunes would be a killer work out

went for a 9.5km run this eve while wearing the vest, got back to discover the mesh stitching is now fraying at the back !
very comfortable in use but somehow I don't see this vest lasting very long

I tried earlier today and failed lol. I then tried using the wall and I could feel my upper chest and deltoid being hit, hopefully my strength will increase enough to do them properly. Thanks for the suggestion :smiley:


You're right, these two look like they'll last a lot longer:

Nice spot. Ordered. Many thanks

I picked up the vest last night & used it for skipping & my agility speed ladder drills earlier this morning. I must admit the vest is like a second skin,no discomfort at all. It's not as heavy as the RDX weighted vest but the 4 buckles do a better job of securing it to the body compared to the two long velcro straps of the RDX. The 4 buckled straps facilitate fine tuning the tightness on the body and with just a bit of contortion all the securing straps are reachable for micro adjustments while wearing the vest. Once secured there's very little lateral movement and no chafing at all during use , there is a little vertical movement and I discovered at the end of my drills that the meshing over the right shoulder had separated but the actual vest remains ok . I 'll be returning to Argos for an exchange and put in some reinforcing stitches over the shoulders when I get the new one.
All in all a very good fitness accessory especially for 20£!
many thanks OP for sharing!!

Tried it on, heavier than i though but maybe its due to weighing only 70kg myself, managed 8 pull ups and died. Found it very easy to put on and tighten, not like the argos reviewers. Just hold the buckle on the left with the left hand, reach around your back with the right, grab cord and pull, simple.

just picked mine up.. think its great for the price. can only remove 2 weights tho says 4 can be removed lol

Strange the way argos have increased the price to more than the original price before the sale as £49.99 originally then £24.99 on offer before code applied and now £54.99

Wonder if it was a pricing mistake on there behalf

BAH! I need a 1000kg for training in 10x gravity

if you mean the fasttrack code which is what you get when you pay online for collection, check payment went through first, then go and collect if it did, just bring ID

£54.99 when I click the link

Top two comments for almost every deal make me want to call this site hotukjokes.com

ordered as im 100kg and need to be 90kg.thats my goal.so i figure if i wear what i have to lose then its a punishment for been what i wear more than i should weigh.once i am 90 il take it off and feel massive relief and know i did it.then il be taking it back as stitching came out and getting my money back.the revieww online point to faulty stitching

Back up to £54.99 op

54.99 now

Travel restrictions apply.

yeah, getting the fifty four pound in mine...bloody thing.

Probably best not to wear this in public if you are darker skinned. :smile:

weird showing as full price for me £54.99

For some reason it is £54.99 now when I go to trolley.

Do you know if you can collect without the code or if they can access orders on the system as still haven't received my code by email or text unless it's going to be sent in the morning as only ordered about 30 minutes back

Just realised I have a 70kg version at home I could put on my back - well I think she is at home but may be out at the takeaway place still!

I was looking into buying a weight vest to make decline push ups harder, I decided I was better off purchasing a rucksack, ziplock bags and sand (30kg) which comes in at £16.52, probably not a good idea if you plan to use it when running.

As for vests, there's a cheaper vest on eBay, 10kg vest for £17.99:

price is Subtotal: £54.99
Delivery: £3.95
Promotional discount: £11.00
Total: £47.94

for me with code :-(

Was hugged by a great person whilst had me motorcycle jacket on, thought it was a bullet proof jacket, what will happen I f I wore this!!!!

Doesnt stop bullets?! Cold

does the code work in store?

Why somebody need 10 kg vest ???

Ordered one for store collection and paid via past track so the code worked.

Still waiting an email with my order and fast track number so hopefully it comes through tonight as nothing shows in my order history either

Great for making chin/pull ups a bit harder.

Surely you'd get b0110xed running with this on?

Use your Nationwide registered rewards card for an extra 8% off.

Do you have to sign up to fast track payment to use the code as I cannot see anywhere else to put the code on the normal checkout

Think I`ll spend the 19.99 on pizza and beers instead that will get me the added 10kg

Are these things any good?

Ordered but no fast track collection code yet

When they bring out a vest that removes weight, I'll get one.

Give me a bow and arrow. Green arrow

looks good

That is a pretty strong prescription for your glasses you have there :smile:

Are the pockets big enough to accommodate pies?

Great picture where from

Cold. Nowhere to attach my go pro. Door.

nice find op, heat

I am still trying to get rid of my weighted vest after the Christmas festivities:)

Mixed reviews but at £20 looks a good deal

coolio , done , thank you!

hey there trying to reserve for collection not sure where to imput the MH20 code to bring the price down
does it have to be paid up ahead or can I pay the 19.99 upon collection

nice find. ordered :smiley:

I just run with 4 black puddings tied to my vest works just as well.

Thought it was a stab vest
