I was walking up the Filbert Steps with a friend last weekend and she had this sleek black vest on that I thought was just a jacket… turns out it was a weighted vest and she swears it’s been a game changer for her daily walks.

Now I’m lowkey obsessed with the idea, but I’m trying not to buy another “fitness thing” that ends up living in my closet. I’ve been looking for a weighted vest for women specifically, since I’m short and kinda narrow-shouldered, and a lot of the stuff I’m seeing looks bulky or like it would crush my boobs. I saw some site with all these different styles and techy descriptions and started second guessing everything, maybe I’m overthinking this.

For anyone here who uses a vest for walking/hiking/errands, what weight did you start with, and does it actually feel good on longer city walks or just wreck your back/neck? Any brands or specific designs you love or hate? And is it worth paying extra for the “more comfortable” ones or are they all basically the same?"

i do a lot of solo day hikes, anywhere from 8 to 15 miles, and my trail food game is genuinely terrible. i usually throw a bunch of random stuff in my bag, granola bars, maybe some nuts, asandwich that gets crushed by mile 3.

i've been looking at what other hikers actually carry and there seems to be a big range from people who pack elaborate trail meals to people who just grab whatever. i'm somewhere in the middle but leaning toward wanting something that's actually nutritious and filling without requiring a stove or complicated prep.

protein is the thing i struggle with most on the trail.. Do you guys know any good protein bars for hiking? what are you guys actually carrying that works?
