If you’re serious about calisthenics, you know that bodyweight alone eventually isn’t enough. That’s where this adjustable weighted vest comes in — the ultimate training tool to level up your strength, endurance, and performance across pull-ups, push-ups, dips, squats, runs, and more.

💬 Why I Recommend the Eric Flag Adjustable Weighted Vest
This is one of those vests where you put it on and immediately notice the difference — in a good way. What stood out to me most was the fit and comfort, even when fully loaded. It doesn’t slide around, doesn’t bounce during sprints or burpees, and the weight stays evenly distributed across your body. That means no digging into your shoulders and no awkward pressure points, even during long workouts.
I also like how versatile it feels. Whether you’re doing pull-ups, push-ups, dips, squats, or just going for a weighted run, the vest stays locked in place. The strap system is simple but effective — once it’s on and tightened, it doesn’t budge. And it fits well on both men and women, which is worth noting — several people pointed out how comfortably it sits across the chest, which can be a dealbreaker with other vests.
Visually, I’ll admit it: the vest looks badass. The sleek, tactical-style design really adds to the experience — it’s not just functional, it looks and feels like serious gear. It’s something you’ll want to wear, not just something you tolerate.
The only minor downside I noticed is that changing the weight can take a bit of effort, especially if you’re in a rush to adjust mid-workout. But the tradeoff is that once those weights are in, they stay put. No rattling, no risk of them falling out, even when you’re upside down.
In short, this vest does exactly what it’s supposed to do — it makes your workouts harder without making them more annoying. If you want to level up your calisthenics, this is a reliable, stylish, and comfortable way to do it.
