Also just pulled the trigger on a 50 lb weighted vest. Made sure the weights were as up high as possible so the vest didn't restrict lower body movement ie digging into the legs during a squat, that the weights were bars instead of bags to reduce the size, and also managed to find one that was zipper based to increase on off speed etc.
Was trying to get together an at home routine that is less than 60 seconds to jump in and out of so I can do it at any moment. So I think I'll just end up with a 55 lb adjustable dumbbell set, 50 lb vest and some rotating push up bars. Main routine will be ground to ceiling dumbbell lifts with a squat with the vest. Then interweaving interval sets will either be dead lifts, dumbbell rows, or push ups with the vest. All done as 1 minute intervals with no rest.
I was surprised I could only do 20 push ups.. I guess I'll have to count how many reps I'll get in for 1 minute during the other movements but about 30~ reps to failure is what I wanted the resistance level to be at. So that's unfortunate I don't have space for a bench so I could do dumbbell bench presses instead!

I have a weighted vest
it has two level 4 plates and a bunch of kevlar
i should try jogging with it
my brother jogged with a weighted vest in san jose and someone called the cops on him
and im thinking.... its not illegal to have or wear a bulletproof vest
but I don't know if its a good idea to jog with it
anyway you should get a dumbell like you're thinking and do this:
