It works well for standing at my stand-up desk or walking. It fits well at the top of my hip . Happy that it works well.I very much like that this is narrow and also very adjustable. You can take out and add weights to suit you. Another belt I purchased was way too wide, cut into my ribs when bending over and I could not really exercise with it and there was no way to adjust the weights.These are great and slim to wear without people asking too many questions. I wear them to work. I suggest buying the correct size. I bought one too big and it slides off my hips.Best weighted belt ever!! Your workout will improve drastically with this product. This belt is so thin in design, I can wear it under anything and no one ever notices I have it on. The fabric type is a moisture wicking fabric on the side that touches your body and neoprene on the outside. Right out of the cute bag, I noticed the quality of the stitching. The stitching is not only higher quality but a heavier thread. It also stayed that way after several weeks use which is a good sign in my experience, usually the cheaper stuff starts to stretch and come loose in that time frame.The other thing that really stood out to me is quality of the velcro and strong metal loop. You can tell just by picking up the belt and putting it on that it won't be falling apart any time soon. It's padded enough that I forget I have it on when I walk the dogs in the morning. The weights are small enough that you have a lot of control over the difference you feel when you increase the load. It's sturdy and well-constructed.The weights themselves are powder coated and flat like 4 credit cards stacked together. They are so easy to take out of the elastic flap.Not sure about the other reviewer, but my belt came fully assembled with all the weights inside. Maybe they changed their packaging recently.I’m really enjoying this belt. I was heisting on buying a vest because of how they sit on my torso, I’m curvy and didn’t want to draw attention to myself while using weights. This belt is practically effortless. I started with the 4 pounds to get myself in the rhythm of using it and I love walking with it!!! I wear it while running my errands and doing chores and it’s concealed under my tshirt. Not bulky Like other products on the torso. I’ve ordered the remaining weights and looking forward to adding more to my endurance.Really like this weight belt. It sits flatter than previous ones I have tried.I bought a small because of reading comments by other users, but it turnsout a medium would have been better. I am 5-6 and 125 lbs. I wanted itto sit high on my waist, not on my hips... and it does, but I barely haveenough velcro strap to do it. I'm just going to get another piece of velcroand extend it. Hopefully you can better judge the size you need fromreading this. Super comfortable, definitely recommend.I am using this to enhance my walking routineI’m seriously impressed. This is an amazing product. Fits close to the body and nice to have adjustable weight options. Only thing I would add would be a pocket for a cell phone so it’s easy to use on walks. Their customer service was amazing. I ordered the wrong size and reached out to them. The sent me the right size and extra weights to compensate right away. I will buy more products from them because of their quality as well as their customer service.
