I want to add some extra resistance to my pullups and pushups and I am looking for the best weighted vests. I have used a dip belt in the past but I find it a bit awkward for movements like lunges or burpees. I am in Toronto and I want a vest that is comfortable and does not bounce around too much.

I have seen the 5.11 plate carriers and the more traditional vests with small weight blocks. I want something that is adjustable so I can increase the weight as I get stronger. I am also planning on doing some weighted walks for cardio.

What are the most comfortable vests you have used? I do not want something that chafes my neck or makes me too hot. If you have a specific brand that you love for functional training please let me know. I am looking for something high quality and durable.
