As per the title, any one considering one of these should where possible try before you buy to determine whether it is going to be any good for you or for its claimed features and benefits.

For me, buying one of these is not new for me, I have two other different branded weight vests, though for this is more or a tactical appeal and strange at the same time where the public are going to see this in action.. in a manner of speaking.

Why I bought it, well it's 2025 and I wanted one that I could wear and for my partner to pick and choose the other ones we already have.

Though the difference in the ones we have uses different weights ranging from pellet to satchels whereas for ForceUSA, a brand that I own a lot of products of... uses sheets and angular weight plates that can be placed at the front and back to balance the load.

As for comfort, it is definitely much more comfortable than my other two which I won't mention their brands just for the sake of this review.

Though the only two criticisms I have: (1) is the ability for it to have pockets or hidden inserts or reinforce rubberised holes for adding metal clips to tag or carry items on the side would be a great feature to have in its next iteration.

And (2) there is some slight marketing description / specification that needs to be validated or changed in relation to the vest itself.

And that is that refers to its maximum carry load? The description says up to 30 kg but the specification says its max is 20 kg. So which is it?

10 kg is a bit of a difference and so, as a suggestion please amend.

Good product love the way it fits, comfortable even with 30kg in it. I’ve had it for around one year and I reckon in terms of durability it would give vests double the price a run for their money

Weight vest is great. Easy to use. Velcro is fantastic quality.

Good vest , works well , securing the plates in could be better but pretty good
