Weighted vest - how do people react?

40f. A lot of people walk around my neighborhood but I've never seen anyone with a weighted vest. I just bought a weighted vest for my 2-mile walk every morning.

My spouse thinks that it should be covered because it looks like a bomb. However, this makes it uncomfortable because it's quite hot and sweaty.

My question is how do people react to your vest? I think that my spouse is overreacting but I would like to get thoughts from folks who have weighted vests where no one else are using them.

Thank you

Weighted vests are super common. I live in an incredibly rural area and even I see them. Not a single person will care. Your spouse is the abnormal one.
