Vests (Each comes with 4 lbs)
Features & Benefits
If you’re a woman with a busy lifestyle who wants better results from your workout time, join the revolution wearing weighted workoutwear. Compare the exterior appearance, the fit, material comfort, thinness of the weight source, flexibility and unique construction with other vests. We think the choice is clear. Challenge Weighted Workoutwear gives you the perfect blend of exterior choices, performance enhancement, comfort and style!
DESIGNS/APPEARANCEOur outer fabric color and design choices let you look great while getting more from your workout. Challenge Weighted Workoutwear is the trendsetter for a winning combination of appearance and performance. |
FITEach vest has three different fabrics and is specially cut to fit snugly and support the chosen weight load. The unique fit means you don’t have to compromise your form or technique and is just another reason that Challenge Weighted Workoutwear is an industry leader. |
WEIGHT SOURCEEach Weight Thin is made from a patent pending composition with more than 700 ball bearings embedded in an elastomer substrate that is flexible enough to conform to the body and thin enough not to become a hindrance while exercising. In fact, the inner pockets that house the quarter-pound weight wafers bear no resemblance to the bulky, bumpy, exterior weight enclosures on traditional weight vests. Weight Thins are strategically placed for even weight distribution and allow the user to wear from zero up to four pounds. (Additional weights can be purchased which will double the weight in the inner enclosures to a total of eight pounds.) |
MATERIALThe fabric is made for more than just good looks. It’s strong enough to hold the weight and made to stretch where you need to stretch as it contours to the body. Mesh back panel gives more comfort and breathability. The inner waist band helps provide the best fit and the full frontal zipper lets you get in and out of your vest quickly and easily. Durability, good looks and comfort are built into every vest. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I exercise with more weight?INCREASES STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE SERVES AS A TOOL FOR VARIATION CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS MUSCULOSKELETAL BENEFITS What and where is the weight in the Challenge vest?One of the many unique differences in this vest is the inner-weight design. This is made possible by our patent-pending Weight Thins that are both soft and flexible with each quarter-pound weight carrying over 700 tiny ball bearings embedded in a thermal plastic elastomer substrate. That's why Challenge is the only vest that can offer you full-length exterior design options. To put the weights into the interior enclosures, just push them in and they are secured in place. The soft weight is snug but you won’t feel the press of metal or the shifting of weight inherent with some exterior weight-bearing vests. Challenge Weighted Workoutwear vests balance the weight on the front and back and are strategically placed for the female body, so you can concentrate on getting more from the workout instead of on discomfort. |
How much weight should be in the vest?That’s totally up to you based upon what you are doing, your fitness level and how much weight you feel comfortable with. Each vest comes with 16 Weight Thins, which total 4 pounds, one for each enclosure. For those who want to add more weight, additional weights can be purchased since each enclosure can carry two Weight Thins. With repetitive movement workouts such as aerobics, kickboxing, walking and running, we don’t recommend the use of additional weight in the vest unless your body type and fitness level make that practice viable. Varying the weight total based upon how you feel on any given day, what activity you are going to do and your fitness level is advisable.
