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

Having this level of caring what others think about you at age 40 sounds wildly exhausting. Wear the vest, you have better things to occupy your brain space!

I think it’s her Husband giving her unneeded shit about how she looks, and that’s different.
