Weighted Vests for Push Ups

Any suggestions for a good weight vest to use? There is definitely a lot to choose from, but they don’t all seem equal in quality. I am primarily thinking of using it for push ups.

I have a MIR short vest. It’s pretty solid and I do weighted push ups in it. The only one I’ve ever used though so I have no frame of reference to compare it to others.

I have a 40 lb weight vest I use. It’s called a RunMax Pro and bought it on Amazon for about $50. It works fine for ring push ups, ring dips, pull ups, ring rows, and walks.

I suggest using either suspended rings or at least push up stands for weight vested push ups. Otherwise the weight vest itself decreases the range of motion.
