I definitely feel confident about the safety and durability of this harness. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price, but after carefully comparing the features to the older version, I knew this would be the better choice. Definitely the best option for squatting with resistance bands as Im not a fan of holding those bars.
I was eyeing the squat harness v3 for a while, but when I saw this with its wider straps and extra features, i knew it was going to be perfect. And it did not disappoint! It was simple to put on and figure out. Feels really heavy and supportive. I feel confident to go as heavy as my legs will allow. I know I won't exceed this thing's limits in this lifetime, and that's a reassuring feeling.
I have a shoulder injury that makes barbell squats really painful. This squat vest allows me to squat again without any pain in my shoulders. Im grateful just to feel my legs fatigued again even if it's not as heavy as I once squatted. I just make up for it with higher reps.
I have the original and the V3. Nothing even compares to this one. The width, comfort, and functionality is unbeatable, and I feel 100% safe knowing that these straps will not break on me in this lifetime. I find new ways to improve my leg workout every time I use this.
I was on the fence between getting this or the V3. All i can say is this was worth every extra penny! The width/ thickness plus the extra padding in all the right places makes this the perfect piece of lower body equipment. If you're a belt-squat machine user like myself, I highly recommend the Squat Harness V4. No more hipbone pressure from old fashioned squat belts
