I was hiking with a pack and barbell weights until I purchased this. I like that it's 40 lbs and wished it was even heavier. That being said there are a couple points to mention, first you get very hot in this because it covers your whole upper body, so I sweat quite a bit but I don't mind. I do wonder how long it's going to be until the vest smells funky. Second, it is a vest and not a backpack so all the weight is carried on your shoulders. Again, no big deal because your shoulders and back get a workout. Finally, I get real funny looks when I wear it, most people think it's body armor, which is amusing and a great way to start a conversation.
