Do weighted vests bounce while running?

Reviewer consensus

Bounce is the most common complaint in the reviews we synthesized. Even outdoorgearlab.com, a high-trust source in our signal set, flagged some bounce while running on one of our candidates despite no chafing. Look for vests advertising 'no-bounce' construction, snug elastic side panels, and chest straps — and expect to cinch firmly.
