The ZFO 40 LB Adjustable Weighted Vest isn’t exactly a catchy name, but it’s a fitness product well worth it’s weight. The ZFO weighted vests are available in a myriad of sizes ranging from 10 LBS to 140 LBS, but their most popular model is the 40 LB model, which we’ll be discussing below.
Pros
Adjustable Weights. This vest carries it’s weight in 5 lb (sand) blocks, so you have the ability to remove or add weight up to 40 lbs.
Extremely Tough. The vest is made out of high grade materials and should last through any workout you need it to.
Narrow Fit. The vest is very slim allowing for normal movement during workouts.
Recommended and used by CrossFit. Need we say more?
Cons
Somewhat Difficult to Assemble. The vest comes in two pieces (mainly), plus a few (Velcro) straps. The difficult is really in fitting the straps to the vest. It will probably take a couple hours to get a good fit and then you’ll end up adjusting after several workouts.
