Love the vest I’ve had the pro version for about 6-7 months, only thing I would advise people to be aware of, do not ever take off the weight in the front before removing the vest. Almost like a Mini guillotine especially with anything over 50 pounds
@Christian Rolls believe me you have to touch fire once in your life to know not to burn yourself. It was one of the first times using it and bam got myself haha, learned to never do it again though
I was surprised Coop didn't mention it. You can clearly see him about to guillotine himself but they cut it in editing at 2:27 and 3:57 and 12:00 . He should've warned potential buyers about this, no way it didn't happen to him. At least when he throws a 45 lb on his back with the armpit straps loose he has the cameraguy to spot for him.
This is a gamechanger. Actually makes a weight vest a viable part of an average home-gym as opposed to it being one for the enthusiasts. Makes you think about why the fuck no one thought about making it sooner edit: ah, that expensive, ey
@@92yankee52 ye I ordered a huge army rucksack that can hold up to 85kg the other day . As I have one inch plates (25mm) and they wouldn’t fit this vest
@@wowooooo54 Alright moneybags. In comparison to other weight vests, that mainstream people also don't buy, this is cheap. But in isolation, a mainstream, average person still looks at this and says "too expensive".
Dont forget pushups with Parallette bars. This will give you the height you need to get that full ROM with that front sleeve in still attached. Bonus: Use this instead of a weighted Ruck to get even more weird looks from the neighbors when walking around town.
One thing other thing that is a benefit of this vest, is that you don't have to lug a heavy weighted vest to the gym. Just pop this in your bag and use their weights. Perfect!
I bought an EZ Vest about a year ago. Totally versatile. Game changer for any calisthenic exercise. I use it for push ups, dips, sit ups, stairs, and hill running. It's the best way to make strength progress in push ups because I can actually go to failure after 7-10 reps rather than doing gobs and gobs of them.
Have been using the Pro model for about a month. Generally agree with Coop's review, but would add: Getting the vest on and off with heavy weights is a lot more awkward than Coop describes (but, hey, Coop "benches 500 pounds" so nothing can stop him!). I also think the limitations of the shortest sleeves are pretty serious. Like, if you have a 25 lb Rogue 6-shooter on the sleeve, you will not be able to add ANY lighter Rogue plate to the sleeve. Finally, the vest feels fine and balanced for weighted push-ups with one plate on the back, but if you put only weight on the front, the vest will slip down awkwardly -- UNLESS you really tighten it down, and if you really tighten it down, it sort of compresses the lungs a bit.
I bought mine when they first came out. I use it weekly as, for lack of a better term, weighted body weight exercises are a big part of my program. I love it. I have weighted vests (10, 20 and 55 lbs) I've had over the yrs and this is the most versatile. I still use the others for certain exercises but for dips,v pull ups and squats over 55 lbs this is the ... The fit and finish is very good. I found the price fair. There really is nothing else on the market like this. Love it.
Love this vest. Best weight vest on the market. I got mine when it came out at like a huge discount of $170 dollars. Well worth it for the max model. Took my bodyweight workouts to the next level.
Great benefit: Use in combination with a barbell, rack the bar and body squat with the vest as your dropset, no need to unload the barbell. This is amazing. This is also great for when you travel.
My weighted dip setup while gyms were closed: 1) 20lb Weighted vest over shoulders 2) 10lb backpack/books on back 3) 7lb surge protector/backup battery with the cord hanging it around my neck 4) 2 2.5lb bumper plates as change - stick them in the backpack or in tucked-in shirt I kinda wish I had this and some plates instead...
I think it's well worth it to have a weighted vest option for calisthenics and even just walking. The thing that stopped me from buying other vests was the exorbitant cost of the custom plates that honestly have highly limited functionality. I'd already put money into buying barbell plates so it just made sense to go with the Kensui. The vest itself looks streamlined and highly functional without the janky or 'tacticool' design elements that are often present in vests that mimic body armor plate carriers. Thanks for this video; it was helpful because the Kensui vest I bought didn't come with any instruction manual and the videos on the manufacturers official YT page seem to be more about potential workout options than how to set the vest up when you first receive it.
I bought this vest over a year ago and started out with 10 to 15 pounds on the vest. I’m now up to 35 pounds wearing this vest for cardio for 30 minutes . Most people in the gym have never seen anything like this and looking at me like I’m freaking crazy. It is a game changer. My stamina is through the roof. I now do 30 minutes of cardio with 35 lbs and then immediately go to the abdominal bench completely covered a sweat and do another 35 to 40 situps and yes, people are really staring at me then but yes, this thing definitely is a game changer. I highly recommend buying one the concept is called Rucking putting weight on your upper body. Of course anyone who has ever been in the military army Marines especially Navy seals have marched or ran with a full pack up to 80 pounds. The concept is the same.
I have this vest and their bumper collars are on preorder that will enable a longer collar to put more plates on (even longer than the standard ones it comes with).
I just gouth the lite version; primarily wanted a system where I did not need custom plates that cost insanem amounts of money for their shape not actual weight (amount of mental); I can understand dropping hundreds on heavy bar plates, but the same for a tiny 'tv-tray' is a no. This was a great breakdown, thanks!
Given that there are vests that go to 100lbs and the $140 starting price on this, I just don't see it appealing to many people. It just seems like the awkwardness/discomfort of wearing plates compared to a regular weight vest just wouldn't be worth any potential minor savings. Mind you, I don't know much about weight vests and don't own one (though I have looked into them a few times) so my perceptions could be way off. Looking forward to the comparison video.
Would be even better if there was a loading pin thing for standard plates as well as olympic. Might actually get one of these. It's the first weighted vest I've seen that actually does everything I'd want.
Here’s the thing. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y These are not meant to be stretched to 12ft or 14ft or whatever else where you’re a 6ft person, stepping in the band and trying to do standing shoulder presses. If they tear, (assuming they’re not defective) then you’re trying to stretch them way too far. For a full body stretch, bands should be like three feet long, doubled over. Don’t buy the bad press. A fully extended reverse fly is avoid as far as you should stretch these. If it’s too easy, use more than one band at a time.Not rocket science.
Turns out I don’t dislike it as much as I thought I would but Coop said something with his moves that his mouth never muttered: “keep your Hyperwear vest for highly dynamic movements”. Still my fave despite all its ridiculousness
I have a couple of weight vests and one of the thing I like about them is that they keep the weight close to my body (in fact this is why I purchased a plate carrier after already owning a weight vest...it was less weight but allowed more dynamic movement due to being not as bulky). This product looks interesting but I can, with less expense in the weight range this would allow exercise with a dip belt. For more dynamic exercises, it seems too unwieldy. I do like that it uses standard weight plates, but the design is limited.
I got the high-end model plus the longer posts awhile back and I’d give it 3 out if 4 stars. It’s a bit awkward and cumbersome when you go heavy and it’s hard and weird-looking to use on jogs outside especially when you wear a jacket over it. It makes you look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. With jogging, I didn’t need the longer post but I also didn’t like how my bodyheat got trapped in my chest area. One benefit of jogging with the weights on the chest area did make it more challenging and gave my intercostals and diaphragm a workout.
I would use this just to go jogging or walk. Great for endurance and strength training for military men, firemen, and policemen. Having to move around carrying heavy gear is part of the job.
Idk if it was mentioned but two key details. I have the vest. You can also buy 1 inch adapters so you can use 1 inch plates for the vest. Second, do not screw on the adapters as tight as you can. They are very very hard to unscrew when they're that tight. You're gonna need a wrench at that point
Just got mine and tried it for pushups. It is great! I will be using it for weekly incremental increases in weight. Going for 5 sets of 6 reps. I like bench but it is inferior when you can load pushups like this. Learning curve of how to put it on, take it off, and how to rest between sets takes a bit. But no big deal.
i wasnt sold on the plate style only because of the bar sticking out. i use mine for push ups among other things. i went with the Strength Sport Systems Elite weighted vest. 90lbs, 3lbs iron ore bars. Nothing else to buy. Works great for hiking, pushups, lunges and tons more.
Shy of full body armor, I’m saying look out for a slow moving bank robbery near you. Imagine the center mass protection a set of those corn bread plates would provide 😳
Actually very little believe it or not. Especially a bumper plate. Might stop a pistol round but a rifle round will rip right through no issues. Buy a plate carrier and some AR500 plates. Multitasking at its best.

@@stevensmith4706 When you use 45LBS plates or larger diameter plates, in general, the locking harness will rock a bit and rub your body. Going Heavy with this requires two people to assist you place the vest on--but not because it is heavy, but because the diameter of the plates allow for a rough experience. In short, sand vest are ideal of heavy weighted vest training.
From what i can see the only use of it will be for push ups. Because like you said big discs limit your mouvments so for mercton it s over and for pull and dips a belt is better.
I bought this thing about a year ago. It’s okay, but in general it’s only been useful for weighted pushups. It’s pretty cumbersome to put on and not very comfortable to use. It’s a good product but I’ll stick to barbells.
Is anybody else having issues with the new, short XT sleeves from Kensui not threading into the MAX V2's front or back vest plates? The longer sleeves that came with the vest work fine - they thread in smoothly and lock in tightly, and overall, the MAX V2 vest seems to be a great product. But the pair of XT sleeves I bought from Kensui (and the 3 additional sleeves they've sent after I contacted customer support) seem to have thread outer diameters too small to engage the threads on the vest plates. Using calipers, I've measured the ODs of the threads on the original sleeves and the XT sleeves I've gotten from Kensui. All of the XT sleeves have threads with significantly smaller outer diameters.
I recently got my Kensui EZ-VEST Pro [110lb] today and it's hard to keep your scapula retracted when doing Pull Ups and difficult to get my chin above the bar. You need a weight at the front for the Vest to eventually distribute the weight. I would use the vest mostly for Weighted Push-Ups, Dips, and GPP. I'm sticking to the Weighted Dip Belt for Pull-Ups
i bought a weight vest from mirafit which has 30 individuals 1kg ingots that you can put in and out of little pockets. It was 90 quid with the weights included and shipping, dunno how this price compares with other vests but its been a game changer in my home workouts since i dont have a bar or a rack. Only problem is you're capped at 30kg
Love the vest I’ve had the pro version for about 6-7 months, only thing I would advise people to be aware of, do not ever take off the weight in the front before removing the vest. Almost like a Mini guillotine especially with anything over 50 pounds

Weight vests are not made to be comfortable . It looks amazing for doing lunges . Instead of holding heavy dumbbells use this and be fully stable

Hey Coop, love seeing you using The Strength Co plates. I own these plates and absolutely love them!
Hi Coop, could the EZ Vest be an effective tool for jumping rope?
gr8 review 😊😊😊😊😊
Is anybody else having issues with the new, short XT sleeves from Kensui not threading into the MAX V2's front or back vest plates? The longer sleeves that came with the vest work fine - they thread in smoothly and lock in tightly, and overall, the MAX V2 vest seems to be a great product. But the pair of XT sleeves I bought from Kensui (and the 3 additional sleeves they've sent after I contacted customer support) seem to have thread outer diameters too small to engage the threads on the vest plates. Using calipers, I've measured the ODs of the threads on the original sleeves and the XT sleeves I've gotten from Kensui. All of the XT sleeves have threads with significantly smaller outer diameters.
Will you be doing a review on the Ancore Trainer?
Yep, already recorded. On the editing floor.
@@GarageGymReviews THANK FOR THE CHEAP RACK !!!! JUST came 10 minutes ago , Cant build it till monday , THANKS !!!!!!
I got one. Great quality, it took forever to ship, though.
still waiting for the full breakdown on all the weight vest Coop!
If you only use them for pull ups and dips, weight belt should be a better option right?
I just want this for push ups and handstand pushups
Another great review; thanx Coop! Where is it made?
Good review
I recently got my Kensui EZ-VEST Pro [110lb] today and it's hard to keep your scapula retracted when doing Pull Ups and difficult to get my chin above the bar. You need a weight at the front for the Vest to eventually distribute the weight. I would use the vest mostly for Weighted Push-Ups, Dips, and GPP. I'm sticking to the Weighted Dip Belt for Pull-Ups
Can you do RDLs? Cns you add multiple 10 lbs plates at once?
@@HeyIntegrity what’s RDLs

Can you review those camo uesaka plates?
Can't wait for Demolition Ranch to review this
Cool videos 👍
In the ad they put the back of the vest on the floor and then lie on top of it with the weight loaded already to get the heavy weight on
4:07 final boss form 💪⚡
Coop being modest with stating he only starts off with a 500 lb bench. You don't have to be modest with us tell the truth, we know better.
We all know those camp plates are fake too.
Just use push-up stands, then you can use the front peg too.
Coop u should give away some of you old gym equipment i know I would appreciate it
Perfect for your next western gunfight with Ramon Rojo 👍
thanks for posting
perfect defence against small caliber rounds
For a second there I thought coop was pulling 90 lbs up the bar, was pretty impressed loll
Great video as usual. Can you recommend a vertical leg press machine for my home, is of commercial quality? I’m a 6’3” 250 male please advise. Thx
i bought a weight vest from mirafit which has 30 individuals 1kg ingots that you can put in and out of little pockets. It was 90 quid with the weights included and shipping, dunno how this price compares with other vests but its been a game changer in my home workouts since i dont have a bar or a rack. Only problem is you're capped at 30kg
add chains and bands
