I’m looking for an adjustable weighted vest. I’ve looked on Amazon but am curious what y’all are using. Ideally it’d go from 20 to 200 pounds. Cost is always a consideration but I’m interested in hearing your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
What movements are you intending to use it for?
I use an 80lb cap barbell vest for walking. It’s good for that, but I wouldn’t care to use it for more ballistic stuff
I HAVE done burpees with it it worked ok.

I’ve got the 66-lbs version from Ader Fitness. I’ve had it for nearly a year, and I’m very happy with it: its construction is solid.
I mostly use it for simple walks around my neighborhood, but I’ve done sled pushes, Farmer’s walks, KB swings, DB snatches, and a few other moves in it. Haven’t tried burpees, but I imagine it’d look a lot like the one in Pwn’s video because it buckles around the waist similarly, and that leaves some slack up top—not ideal, but workable.

Following - i was interested in something like this as well.
200lbs is a LOT for a vest though, you may need to tone down your expectations on the top end range (based on my 2 mins of half-assed research)

I have a 60lb Mir vest, works well for just about anything since you can tighten it down pretty solidly. I think they make them up to 80 or 90lbs.

Thank you.
I should have said I plan to use it for something along the lines of Wendler’s 2-2-2; so pullups, push-ups, squats and walks. I realize 200# is a lot but I, at least, wanted the capability to expand to that… just in case.

I’m a “girl” but FWIW - I have a 50ml Mir and second what @mr.v3lv3t says.
On the Mir site, and see “Pro adjustable” for $119. It goes to 140#…seems like a good deal; The others are more expensive and have lesser weight capacity. Now I’m confused—it doesn’t take much. 
I’m seeing $440 for the 140lb Pro vest when I look it up.
