Full details

It is an ideal tool for boosting calorie burn and building functional strength during activities like HIIT, running, and bodyweight training. While it provides an excellent level of balanced resistance, users should note that the 5kg weight is fixed and cannot be adjusted, making it less suitable for those requiring significant weight progression.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the vest, simply place it over your shoulders and tighten the front-fastening straps until the unit is snug against your torso. Ensure the vest is centered to maintain balance. Regarding compatibility, the adjustable straps accommodate most body types. For care, it is recommended to wipe down the vest with a damp cloth after each workout to remove sweat and prevent odors. Do not submerge the vest in water or place it in a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal weight housing and fabric durability. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
