It also felt very high up under my armpits so I dont think I could have comfortably walked any distance in it

First of all, the fit isnt great — even when adjusted, it tends to shift around during workouts, which makes running or training uncomfortable and distracting

The bottom chest strap in the photo is on the loosest setting

Nice vest heavier than I anticipated unfortunately as a larger busted lady even at full length straps just about did up
