The 12lbs-80lbs models max weight capacity is the weight purchased. The 100lbs-140lbs max weight would be 140lbs. Empty pockets can be filled by purchasing weights later on to fill the weight vest if needed. The RUNFast Weighted Vest is a great way to add resistance to your workout. This is a great vest to start your cross training, strength training, and anything else you will need a weight vest for. The vest is one size fits most.

Been using it every week for 5 years (3 years, fully loaded to 140lbs), and it's still holding up
Realized I never reviewed this. I bought the 120lb version with shoulder pads in 2017 when it was on sale cheaper than the 100lb. If you're going to load the vest up, you WANT the shoulder pads. Trust me.Don't know about the lighter versions, but the 140lb version has pockets for cast iron weights. The vest was shipped unloaded, with the weights in a separate cardboard box (that wasn't really sturdy enough).I started with the vest loaded to about 40lbs, and slowly worked my way up to the fully loaded 140lbs over the course of 2 years.Nowadays, I use this vest for doing things like goblet squats and calf raises, farmer carries with dumbbells etc.What can I say? It's held up to being used in workouts every single week for 5 years, with the past 3 years fully loaded to its 140lbs max, and it's still holding up just fine. The extra weights are available through MIR (the cast iron weights that came with the vest are stamped 'MIR'. When I worked up to the 120lbs and needed more weights to fill the remaining pockets for the full 140lbs, Amazon had a sale on the MIR Runner's vest with 55lbs of weights for about the same price as just buying the weights, so I bought that. I loaded this vest to the full 140lbs and use the 35lb Runner's vest for running and pull-ups).It takes a while for your shoulders to get used to the weight. Every time I added weight, my shoulders would ache. I was definitely glad for the shoulder pads, distributing that load over a wider area.The upside is that by the time I got used to training with the 140lb vest, hiking with a 65lb properly adjusted backpack was easy.With 2/3rds of the backpack's weight being supported by the hip belt, there's only ~22lbs on my shoulders. Where my shoulders would be sore in the past from hiking with that much weight, after training with the 140lbs vest (where ALL the weight is on my shoulders), the pack feels like a feather pillow.

Workout weight works well
You can strap it tight, easy to take on and take off, and the weight is centered very well in my chest! I use this for calisthenics instead of running and I highly recommend it to slowly start increasing your weight! The weights are non-replaceable though, so to increase weight you WILL have to buy another vest.

It works quite well, but could be designed better.
The best functions as advertised. I bought the vest that comes with the solid weight blocks.The only thing I find frustrating is the design of the straps for securing the vest around your torso. They're independent straps that simply Velcro onto the vest. It would be much better to have torso straps that connect directly to the vest.

Much better than what l expected
Best thing l ever bought. Love it. Thanks for making this. I bought a 120 lbs and did a 5 mile walk with it and it is damn good workout.

Great way to add some additional resistance during a workout
I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend. He LOVES it. He wears it all the time. There are plenty of weights (up to 100 lbs) so it's adjustable. Great way to add some additional resistance during a workout, walking, etc.
