Reminds me of Chris Rock's take on good neighborhoods: women hanging around at 2pm on a weekday? Good! Men hanging around at 2pm on a weekday? Bad!
I use a 20# vest for almost everything from pullups to hiking, it's a terrific way to make things harder without having to just go for more speed or more reps.
I'm not sure I'd even notice 10# but it's all relative to your bodyweight and fitness. The smaller ones fit a lot better, too, less flopping around.
Should you wear a weighted vest to build muscle and bone? [cspi.org]
Don't expect a daily walk with a weighted vest to curb bone loss. But assuming you don't have back, neck, or joint pain and aren't at risk for a fracture, there's little harm in wearing one. You'll make your workouts more challenging and may get a small boost in your strength, balance, and cardiovascular fitness.
"Getting people to exercise is really challenging," Beavers acknowledges. "There's probably a whole group of people who weren't even walking, and if a vest gets them outside and moving, great." That doesn't mean it's a replacement for strength training. "But it's something."

Will definitely increase sprinting speed.
