Pros & Cons
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.
Great sturdy vest with easily removable weights. Got the 60lbs max and rotate between 36 and 60lbs. Fully adjustable, the weights come out if you want it lighter.
Cons
Getting it on is very awkward and difficult. It just isn’t what i expected. Lord knows there was a trade off. Would not buy again. Amazon should not allow this product to be sold.
The shoulder straps have practically no padding. Even with the extra shoulder pads it's very uncomfortable because the shoulders are straight and not slanted. The straps that hang on the shoulders dig into my lower neck/upper shoulders.

For double the cost it is absolutely not worth it
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
Runmax offered a reasonable price and more weight than my vmax so i bought it

The shoulder pads equate to two small pieces of fabric youd be better off making something yourself if you find it to be a problem
