FR165 - How to account for using a weighted vest for walking (or, for running or for strength training)?

I want to use a weighted vest (adjustable weights, 5 lb - 40 lb) for my exercises and want to account for the added weight during my training. Does Garmin have a method to account for the additional weight using an FR165?

No. But your HR will be increased due to more effort and you can write into workout Note the weight you used.

I’m new to Garmin and plan to log my runs as hikes when I have a weighted vest and/or jogging stroller.

Edit the activity in Garmin Connect, and add the weight there. It is available at runs too.

I don't see the "pack weight" option. Is that something i have to set? I added as "gear"

I do not see it anymore either. Looks like Garmin pulled it away. It probably just leaked out for a few days, while not fully implemented yet. Or they changed their mind. Unfortunately, I do not know more.
