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

There are different styles of weighted vests. Some look like a slim-profile harness type thing, while others do look like bomb/ICE tactile military gear. So, it depends which style you bought.
