Ultimate Training Vest

Aus dem Interesse heraus mein Homeworkout zu ergänzen, zu bereichern und neue Herausforderungen zu meistern, habe ich mir diese Gewichtsweste gekauft. Ein paar Wochen vorher hatte ich mir schon zwei Kettlebells und zwei Kurzhantelm samt den Gewichten gekauft, und war dadurch von der Qualität und dem Ironmasterkonzept bereits überzeugt und begeistert.
Die Weste ist sehr gut und im Vergleich zu anderen Gewichtswesten auch wirklich gut im Preis.
Sie ist angenehm zu tragen, nach einer kurzen Eingewöhnungsphase, in der sie erstmal ein wenig steif ist, was aber normal ist. Sie ist sehr einfach zu befüllen und lässt sich auch einfach anziehen, praktisch wie eine Jacke. Bis jetzt nutze ich sie mit einem Gewicht bis zu 20kg, was so manche Übung wirklich extrem befeuert. Teilweise lege ich sie auch zum normalen Workout mit 10kg an, wenn ich bspw. Bizepscurls oder Schulterdrücken mache, um hier einfach den Puls nochmal ein wenig höher zu treiben, wobei die Weste meine Bewegungsfreiheit praktisch nicht einschränkt.
Was mich positiv überrascht hat ist, dass die Weste auch mit anderen Scheiben sehr gut befüllt werden kann; so nutze ich bspw. meine noch vorhandenen 2,5kg Scheiben mit dem 30mm Standardloch, von denen ich ohne Probleme 8 Scheiben in die Taschen packen kann und der Sitz sicher und ohne ruckeln ist, auch bei Schwungübungen, wie bspw. bei Swings mit meinen Ironamaster Kettlebells.
Auch wenn die Scheiben von Ironmaster natürlich passgenauer sind, so kann man sich diese Weste eben auch zulegen, um sie mit den besagten 2,5kg oder aber auch mit 1,25kg Standardscheiben zu befüllen, was bei vielen anderen Gewichtswesten nicht der Fall ist, da die Gewichte dort eine eigene Größe haben, die nicht durch andere ersetzt werden könnten.

Da man in der Weste durch das Training gut zum Schwitzen kommt, ist es auch gut zu wissen, dass man sie ohne Probleme mit Wasser reinigen kann, was ich auch schon mehrere Male gemacht habe, und auch hier hat sie überzeugt.

Also ein super Produkt, das dem Training eine neue Vielseitigkeit und Belastung verleiht und das preislich einfach aus meiner Sicht unschlagbar ist, gerade weil man die bestehenden Ironmasterscheiben nutzen kann aber eben auch andere Scheiben.

Truly the ULTIMATE weight vest!
I've had several other weight vests using Olympic plates, "sand bags", etc. But none is as comfortable or versatile as the Ironmaster vest. The convenience of being able to use my Quick-Lock Dumbbell plates makes it that much better. The vest is very breathable, highly durable, extremely comfortable, and the Ironmaster logo patch completes the impressive look and style.

I always look forward to new products developed by Ironmaster, who has a stellar reputation for quality, value, and customer service in the home fitness world! Great job on this vest!

If you have the Dumbbells this vest is a no brainer
We have a lot of Ironmaster gear in our home gym. It's a great combination of commercial quality but designed to be maximally space efficient for a home gym. We recently purchased two Ultimate Training Vests for my wife and myself. We both have been working out for decades and have a substantial home gym and also do a lot of running and hiking. At 57 I'm backing off the running some (I'm concerned about the repetitive stress on my joints) but still love being out on the trails and "embracing the suck" so we wanted to try Rucking. These vests are very similar to the Kettlebell handles in that if you own the Dumbbells and plates it doesnt make sense not to have these. I looked into the leading brand of Rucking equipment. The Ruck pack was about $250 and then we would have spent another $250 each for the weight plates. Almost a $1000 for the two of us. Well with these vests we got to try it out for $180 for both of us. Of course a weight vest doesnt have all the features of a rucking backpack but you can certainly get a feel for the experience and as long as you are staying local you don't need all the extra storage. In addition it will be great for "body weight" exercises in the gym which a Rucksack will not. Our go to Travel workout kit has been an Ironmaster Adjustable Kettlebell and a TRX in a milk crate thrown in the back of the truck. Im thinking these will get added to that kit.

Having never worked out with a weighted vest before it's a new experience. What I can tell you is these are fully adjustable and can be made to fit either myself (6 foot 185) or my wife (5 foot 6 and 130) with no problem. Im sure they could go bigger and smaller as well. We have been rucking a few times so far and it is an entirely new experience. Surprisingly it's not the legs or the cardio that is the issue. Rucking is way more upper body than you would expect. These remain as comfortable as a heavy weight on your shoulders for extended periods can be and will add a whole new dimension to your workouts and value to the Ironmaster gear you already own. We will eventually probably add some specific Rucksacks to our fitness equipment for longer Rucks but for the price, if you have the plates already, you just need to own these and figure out new ways to make your body adapt.

Best Weighted Vest!
Been a long time Ironmaster customer and the weighted vest did not disappoint! Versatility is excellence in being able to use the weight plates from the adjustable dumbbells. Vest feels secure, even nearing the max load. Highly recommend this product!

ULTIMATE TRAINING VEST.
ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCT. SUPER THICK AND STRONG. YOU CAN DO CALISTHENICS, WALKS, STEP UP'S, JUMPS AND JOGS. PULL UP'S, CHIN UP'S, PUSH UP'S, DIPS, ABS, MANY LEG EXERCISES WITH IT. ATHLETES USE IT FOR ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, SPEED, POWER AND DEXTERITY.

Je recommande. I recommend.
Veste de très bonne qualité le velcro adhère très bien bonne résistance vas durer pendant des années. Merci.
TRANSLATED: Very good quality jacket the velcro adheres very well, good resistance, will last for years. Thank you.

This thing’s so great I bought two
This vest is just perfect to add the right amount of pain to my cardio, haha! It’s been so addictive, I had to buy one for my wife and she loves it as well.

I combine traditional weight and body weight training in each of my workouts. I have been using this vest for my pull-ups, push-ups, dips and inverted rows. It is extremely comfortable to the point that I don’t feel any restrictions while using it. It has allowed me to make my workouts more challenging. The ability to add my quick lock plates gives me a lot of versatility in terms of adding weight in small increments and it saves me a lot of space in my home gym. Thank you Ironmaster for another great product!

Thankfully I bought my dumbbell/bench/accessories a few years ago (because they are hard to get now)! This vest popped up in my email and I immediately bought it. Very well made and sturdy, I use it during my morning walks around the park, to add some caloric drain and tone. Ironmaster produces quality, every product of theirs I own is top notch.

Placed on Ironmaster.com: I am a female 145 pounds with a full C chest. This vest fits just fine though I was a little skeptical with the description for the build. I can comfortably wear it with plenty of weight for my workouts. Huge benefit is that it works with our adjustable weights therefore its been a space saver for our RV garage!

I have had Iron Master adjustable dumbbells for several years and LOVE them. Super solid. I saw the vest when I was visiting the site and thought it could be a great add for walks and maybe weightless leg training...step-ups, lunges, etc. It is well made and solid. I’ve enjoyed walking with not crazy weight, but the additional definitely pushes you more. It is a no-brainer add if you have the dumbbells. I’m pleased with the add for my purposes. I don’t partake in weighted dips or pull-ups, it’s hard enough for me without additional weight! Good add for variety type workouts for sure. :)

For some time now I have been searching, mostly casually, for a weighted vest that fit my needs. I could never quite pull the trigger - whether due to price, appearance, or reviews - but I took it as a sign when the IM email listing this item popped up. It has provided convenient workout density, and the ease of changing the weights has allowed for my wife to utilize it as well. The vest feels bulletproof, and much like all of the Ironmaster products I have purchased over the years (im2000, cable tower, multiple benches, several sets of of DB handles, plates, accessories, etc.), the quality if fantastic.

The weight sits up high for me. The vest feels short but I think they are supposed to be. Used it 2 times so far and a first time user of a weighted vest. Feels very durable and is secure enough for a short jog or brisk walks when loaded up. Here is something to note they rate it for 70lbs but each pocket is able to hold 2 x 5lbs which in the end is 80lbs total. so make sure to not over stress your vest by mistake. It may hold up but there is a reason they reduced the rating likely due to premature wear and tear users experienced. unless you are fairly strong donning this vest fully weighted is a challenge so you may need some help loading the rear plates. The velcro straps hold strong, the extra thinner strap I have not found a need for as of yet but I also have not used this vest a lot nor have done any runs with it. Brisk walks, stairs, squats and some jumping around. I hope it holds up a long time. It is winter here and I still work up a sweat quickly in this so will be much worse in warm months. Breathable and durable enough for 70lbs don't exactly go hand in hand.

I have used this vest since the original version was first introduced and i couldn't be happier. Unlike most other vests on the market that have a fixed weight or are barely adjustable this one can be customized down to a single pound. If you own the dumbbells this is a must. My favs are being able to do weighted pushups, pullups and dips. Last but not least IRONMASTER's customer service is top notch which is something very hard to come by these days.

Another accessory I wish I got years earlier. I wasn't sure how well it would fit, I'm a 5'3 female with a large chest but it's fine.
