Summary: Love the vest
Comment: This is my second vest and I love it. I will never walk again without them.

Summary: Like it a lot
Comment: I like this weight vest a lot. I'm up to 3 pounds and I can feel the difference in my workout when I don't wear it. I only had 2 issues with it. It runs large. I normally wear an XL in tops. I bought a Large and needed a Medium. It was lose when I got it but it still feels good as long as I am not running or jumping to much - then sometimes the weights bounce against my midriff. I've adjusted it as much as I can. The only other thing I thought it needed was pockets. It has one in the back but I want to reach my housekey without taking off the vest. Cell phone, ipod and/or house key pockets would be an improvement.

Summary: Walk Vest
Comment: Very disappointing product. The price was so high and the product is way too hot and flimsy to use. I used the size chart online, but it was way too big. Good idea, but waste of money. Maybe if it fit better, it would work.

Summary: Product needs work
Comment: Delivery and service were great; however, the walking vest was bulky, even when tightening the straps. The weights were vertical and were uncomfortable for a 5'4" female--they didn't fit the curve of the back. Perhaps horizontal weights might work? Bottom line, I like the idea but the product needs some work for looks and comfort. Thanks

Summary: Gaiam Walkvest good for Walking only
Comment: Good concept and comfortable fit, but the buckles on the vest becomes loose very easily, so if you plan on also jogging/running, it will not stay secure. Also, some of the pockets that holds the weights are not consistent in size; some were stitched unevenly and hence I could not insert the weights in some of the pockets. If you want extra weights as this kit only comes with 4 pounds, you can buy extra but they sell them in 5 pounds sets that cost $30! I wouldn't have bought them if I knew these weights are so expensive as I now need at least 10 additional pounds for a whopping $60! The material of the vest is also pretty thin, so I'm almost anticipating that with more use and more added weights, the stitching will likely come apart.
