Are cheap weighted vests durable enough?

It depends on construction. High-trust outlet garagegymreviews.com flagged single-stitch designs on budget vests as less durable, while heavier-duty 1000D/1200D Oxford nylon models (Eric Flag, BAGAIL) drew praise for ruggedness. Verified-purchase reviewers on the cheapest neoprene vests are mostly happy, but a few report seam wear and iron-sand leakage over time.
