I have a box at home and could use it for step-ups and lunges as well. I do CrossFit, and we do tons of squats, box jumps, wall balls, so the weight might be good for me. I can also pick up a 12 lbs vest.
How much do you weigh ? That should help decide between the 12 and 16lbs
130-140lbs. Definitely on the heavier side when I am weight lifting, and lighter when I am running. My back squats are 145 lbs and front squats are 130 lbs these days even though my one rep max was higher a few years ago when I was doing it in a regular basis.

Not a single issue and outside of an unrelated fall that kept me from walking, I'd wear it for anywhere between 12-20 miles a week - and I have back problems. Granted it maxes out at 10lbs, but that works for me. Weight is held snug to my torso and I can make sure it's evenly distributed. My DH has an Amazon weighted vest and all the weight is on the back with a chest clip in the front. I couldn't do that.

Not OP but also looking and this model looks good. Not 250$ but not all the weight on the shoulders like the cheaper Amazon ones
