Nothing bad to say
Basically, this product turns barbell weight plates into a quick and easy way to weight calisthenics some weight lifting techniques (as another reviewer pointed out, your elbows will hit on the backpack when doing dips). The nature of packing barbell plates in a backpack has fundamental drawbacks to mobility, but it more than makes up for that by offering a quick and easy way to weight a large selection of calisthenics.The pack is easy to put on and take off (other than the 45 potential pounds inside), the webbing and fabric are tough and high quality with great stitching, no corners were cut here. The padding in particular is exceptional, it definitely feels like you are carrying a heavy weight with this on, but you barely feel the contents through the back padding when wearing it.The addition of a wide waist belt as well as the usual chest fastener strap was a nice touch.The only thing I could think to improve is offering a specialized version capable of holding eighty pounds and above for advanced athletes, but for most circumstances, the 45 lb weight limit is more than enough, and certainly approaches the limits of what a person should ruck for long distances.

Solid and most suited to weighted push-ups/pull-ups
The stitching and straps are solid. The enclosure for the weight plate is sturdy.It is best suited for weighted push-ups and pull-ups. Weighted dips are a problem as the width of pack is wider than your body and your elbows hit the pack.What could be improved:- the weight rests low on the back, higher would be better for load distribution, comfort, and functional use.

Variety keeps it interesting.
This weighted backpack from THEFITGUY Store is very solidly made, with excellent stitching and form a rugged piece of equipment. Depending on your stature, and the size of the plates you use, it can be a little awkward to use, and adjustments can be a bit tricky. For others it can be a slam dunk.There is sufficient padding in my opinion, and this adds additional variety to access different muscle groups in your gym routine.

Excellent quality!
I got the fitness backpack for my husband to improve his strength. The design of this backpack is excellent! It is made from thick, heavy duty materials. The straps are made from the same material as seatbelts, so you know they are strong. The stress points are reinforced with extra stitching. There are two straps to securely hold the weight – one on the inside and one on the outside. The strap on the outside also serves to reduce the stress on the zipper. The back, shoulder and hip straps are all padded and have a breathable mesh material as well. There is an extra pad at the lower back to prevent the edge of the weight from digging into your lower back. This bag is so well designed that it allows you to securely carry a heavy weight without it bouncing around or affecting your balance. 5 stars for sure!

This is great!
Very comfortable + versatile weighted back pack – I found it more comfortable than the weighted vest I have.I was able to put a 25lb + a 10lb plate in it, or one 45lb plate. The quality is quite good and I don’t expect ripping or tearing. The belts and clasps are also solid, and allow you to get it fitted in a way that balances the weight where you need it comfortably. I had no issues using it and it worked exactly how I wanted.
