there are about 5-6 pocket are locate in the front and back the weight are like small bean bags.

The pockets are located along the front and back of the vest. In the photo, they are underneath the folding straps.The weights are made of sand in a strong pouch. They slide easily into and out of the pockets in the vest.

The weights are made of some maleable material - not hard or stiff - they are located in individual pockets around the lower torso in a zippered pocket. Easily accessible and removable to adjust weight.

The weights are nicely packed small lead "pockets" in very strong nylon. The weights fit into zippered pockets on the back and the front. If you are considering this vest, I can say with great confidence "buy it". I have four of them - one stationed for me in each of the major cities I visit often on business. And at Amazon's price - a bargain. (I walked for three hours today wearing one of these in Seattle. The weight sits perfectly distributed on my body - I hardly even feel it - but those extra pounds add nicely to the workout.

The weights are 1 pound weights. They are black and filled with sand, similar to bean bags but more dense and durable obviously. The weight bags are the same material as the vest. The weights are dispersed on the vest, 3 in the front and 7 on the back. The front has four pouches with the forth spot being for an iPod or MP3 player. The back has two rows of three then four weights. Each row of weights is accessible by a zipper running across the whole row.

Yes the weights are included. Each weight weighs 2.5lbs and can all be removed from the vest.

It is an adjustable weight vest that comes with 40lbs of weight. The weight is adjustable in one pound increments and can easily be reconfigured to 20 lbs. I use it configured to 30 lbs. Great vest over all.

There are elastic pockets. The blue and yellow "things" in the picture are just folders that you can slide into the slots yourself.

the vest is slightly large to wear under clothing the weights are about an inch and a half thick i would imagine it to be like wearing a bullet proof vest if not 1 and a half times the size of a b.p.v. under clothing

The vest will hold up to 140 pounds. You can order them from zfosports.com. 6 weights sell for 59.99.

No, the weights are not removable (no pockets), but I believe they do come in different weight options.

You had weights 1/2 lbs at the time to make it as light or heavy as you like. The little pockets are for the weights to go in.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

The plates are held in place within the vest by 4 Velcro straps that overlap itself. The secured weight plates are held snugly while you workout with the vest, so imagine having two plates side by side on your chest and back, that should tell you how big the plates should be. Hope this helps.

Inside pocket on the left will hold your wallet and the one on the right is for eyewear. On the lower inside back is a compartment that can hold something like a poncho (zipper to close). There is more than enough pockets at waist level on the outside for my needs. I just have to remember which pocket I place things :-) Also at breast level on both sides there is ample pocket space. On the outside back is a spacious velcro enclosed spot for even more gear. I wear my vest from Spring into Fall. I have purchased this vest twice in seven years (the first one I had to replace because of a rip through a momentary act of carelessness).

No weights... It's is like a tactical vest but for a dog. Med to large dog, large chest dog would be more ideal. It's has mole straps, same kind you would find on military gear. Very durable and can take heavy usage with ease. You can buy additional mole pouches and toss weights in those if need be, or buy a couple of mole canteens and fill with water for you dog.Be warned though if your dog is large like my female German Shepard poeple that see her wear it are hesitant to be near her, the vest makes her look more menacing.

It would be best for you to go to MiR weights online. There you can find a contact phone number for the company. While I personally don't think it would be an issue I would recommend getting the additional support straps. While "skinny" does not give quite enough information when it comes to measurements; I am certain my vest could be adjusted smaller.

no weights included - just a vest. I bought lead weights at a tire shop nearby.

Yes, the weights are small iron bars, and the vest has a bunch of pockets in it, so you can add and remove weights as needed to adjust the overall weight of the vest.

Hyperwear's weights are solid steel with zinc plating. The density causes almost everyone to guess that it is 20 lbs instead of 10. That is also why it is so thin and close to the body making it feel heavier. The shipping weight of the product is at 11 lbs because the fabric vest also has some weight of course. You can remove weights and start with less weight. It is fully adjustable.
