The Hypervest

I have been asked about my weight vest by some people at my karate class so I thought I would do a quick review. I bought the medium 10 pound hypervest from HyperWear.com as a birthday present to myself back in early September. I have used it in my karate classes and use it in my workouts and have recently started running with it. So far I am quite pleased and I am starting to notice greater leg strength. It is easy to put on and take off and it fits me perfectly. I like that it can be hidden under a tee shirt or my karate uniform. The best feature to me and the reason I bought it is that it does not bounce on my shoulder like other vests when I run and I still have a full range of motion. It also seems to dry very fast after I sweat in it and hang it up.

The only negative thing I have to say about it is that adding and removing those little weights. I doubt I will be doing that very often but I do want to wash it every now and then. The model I bought had five pounds preloaded and I had to manually add the additional five pounds of little weights. Using the installation tool that was supplied was not as easy as they made it look in their video - perhaps due to the newness of the vest. Maybe it will get easier to add and remove the weights now that it is broken in. I will post an update when I finally wash it. By no means is this a deal breaker for me. The pros definitely outweigh the cons and I highly recommend this vest if you want to add an extra challenge to your workouts.
