We compared two weighted vests for strength and cardio training: the RUNFast Weighted Vest and the Aduro Sport Weighted Vest.
What we looked at
Weight options, adjustability, comfort features, and price.
The verdict
If you want a serious training vest available from a stated 12lbs up to 140lbs (this listing is the fixed 12lbs version), with manufacturer warranty included, the RUNFast is the heavier-duty pick, at £72.10, with 13 left in stock when checked. If you would rather pay £48.52 less for a lighter vest available in 4lbs to 30lbs options with an adjustable front belt and soft neoprene material, the Aduro Sport is the value, entry-level option, at £23.58, for the 12lbs version.
A £72.10 vest from a brand offering weights up to a stated 140lbs, 13 left in stock.
A £23.58 vest with weight options from 4lbs to 30lbs and a lifetime warranty.
