Thinking of getting a weight vest due to having major knee surgery this side of Christmas and thought a weight vest would help with bodyweight exercises that I will still be able to do, I can imagine it would be fairly helpful for rehabilitation as well. Does anyone have any experience with them or any advice on which brands are pretty good. Ideally I would like to be able to start out fairly light and add weight to the vest or buy a heavy vest that I could remove the weight from, not just a simple specific weight vest (Mainly for the rehab purposes.)
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

It will be pretty much used for bodyweight exercises, press ups, pull ups, diamond press ups. Bodyweight isn't a problem on all and with having no access to the gym or wanting to invest in some dumbells, I figured this is one of the best options as I could take it to the gym and use it after recovery as well.
