    I got one for XMAS! Mine holds 20 of these 1lb sandbag things, so I can make mine 1-20 pounds. I'm not using mine for running though. I'm using mine for leg work. I can squat, etc much more weight than I am capable of holding in my hands so I'm using the vest to add more weight without using dumbbells. I just don't have the space for a barbell & plates. I also think I may use it when I do pushups. I'm excited about my little vest!!

    I hear it works really well for weight loss and speed. I personally have never used a fitness weight vest but I have used Body Armor while running and patroling. I lost a TON of weight and I had amazing speed after using it about a year
