Would it be possible to do bear crawls/crab walks in this vest? would the weights fall out or the vest shift too much?

You can do anything with this vest on as long as you have upper body strength. It has adjustable belts on both sides as well as in the front so you can adjust it to your body. The bags of wright do not fall off as they are secured in each pocket individually & velcroed shut! Hope this helps :-)

The vest would not last long being scraped through the ground, the weights would not fall out. Shifting maybe limited with the adjustable straps. I hike with mine.

Yes you can, the weights are Velcroed shut in pockets so they shouldn't fall out. It shifts a little but doesn't bother me

Weights will not fall out but the vest is very loose and does not fit tight and could make a bear crawl uncomfortable.

I don't think you would be really comfortable in that vest. While it is adjustable, my son who is thick through his shoulders and chest is only 5'5 and about 150lbs wears it and it fits him very well. I would think for a man of your size you may want to consider another option. Unfortunately, it will probably cost you considerably more money than this vest cost. I would recommend checking with Blackhawk! or LA Police Gear, both have a pretty extensive inventory and pretty good prices and the quality of the merchandise that I have purchased has been great. Good luck!

Um, yeah on the lower half you could. But this is NOT the vest to use if you are planning on putting plates in it for protective purposes. This should strictly be for recreational use.

I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

Yes. It's awesome. I'm glad I bought it as my first weight vest. The next one I'm probably going to invest in is the one that's half sized

Don't swim in deep water. I imagine you would sink!!! You would have to be a pretty good swimmer just to manage the weight of the wet vest alone! If you are going to try it, I would recommend having someone responsible nearby for safty.

I haven't used the lighter versions of this specific weight vest, however people often tell me the vest looks small for 60lbs. Hope this helps with your question.

Yes you can remove the weights, they are in like a pocket and all you have to do is pull the upper part back and take out the weights, you can also buy more weights to add to the vest, more weights the bigger the size can't remember how much for each, you can visit hyperwear.com and it will tell you. It is a very nice comfortable vest. Hope this helps.

No it can't so far the only style of weights that I have been able to get into the vest is the adjustable weights. The same one that you will fine in the ankle or wrist weights. You will have to look around but Walmart has 20 pound sets. I have it up to 75 and it works well.

The vest is durable but the weights are held in mesh therefore you can handwash or spray the vest down. I would not put it in the washer even on a gentle cycle. Also, make sure you remove all the weights before washing.

I can't answer this question because I can Not recommend this vest. I loved how it fit snug to your body, but after using it only 10 times it was already ripping at the corner of the weight. To the point I almost lost one weight. They needed to round their edges and coat the weights. That's a lot of money for 10 days of wear.

I am short but stocky and typically fall right between medium and large - I ordered the large vest - it is a snug fit in the chest but gaps at the shoulders.This not ideal but since I bought it as an extra layer for paddling the reverse would be worse. The material is stretchy = somewhat forgiving.

Weights are well distributed, smaller sized and it could be worn under loose clothing. Biggest issue is lifting it on, over and off head again that might prove difficult. Would be better if it opened in front and zipped or clasped close. Sadly I haven't been able to use mine without taking weights out.

Ab workouts can be done with the vest on. Keep in mind that weights go in both the front and back of the vest. When doing standard sit-ups and crunches you will feel the weights in the back if the vest. It is not uncomfortable for me but the weights are noticeable.

I am in the great camp. I really like mine and have had no problems with workmanship. I like the layout, but it would be better if the pouches were movable so that you could change the layout to suit different scenarios or use double rifle mag pouches instead of the single ones provided. In a tactical situation I would rather have an excess of rifle mags and less pistol mags. I like the pistol position okay, but here again I would like to be able to relocate it if need be. All in all, however, I like this vest and it is comfortable and adjustable, size wise.

The vest is big on my son, so it does move around on him. he says if he were bigger it would not move around so much.

Any good sporting goods store should have 5# weights. Be aware that some 5# weights are too wide. I would recommend taking your vest into the store and testing. You should be able to put two 5# weights into each slot.
