The walkvest is comfortable and has contributed to improved posture (by placing weights in balanced positions). I found it easy to use, and got an extra set of weights - currently using 6# (and have 2# reserve weights).My only complaint is that it is not proportional for petite bodies, so I either have to wear it blousy above the waist, or with waist clasp and weights below the waist. It is managable and I do recommend it.
