Pros

The velcro keeps everything in tact. They provide shoulder strap support because i feel some strain on my shoulders/traps. The shoulder pads are a must in order to alleviate the pressure on your shoulders.

Fits is great. As many other reviewers say, it's bulky, but that's to be expected with the amount of weight being carried. It is slightly shorter than my other vest which makes it easier to workout in.

I wish the shoulder pads would be included at this price point


Its a great vest but nearly double the price of runmax

Competitiveness


Runmax is my third style vest with the expensive vmax being my first


Got mine today and it replaced a competitor vest with 30lb in it i had been using for a while the older started to rip and rath...  Read More
