How It Works
Everything you need to know about the weight system and customization
How do the weights work?
Each weight is only 1/8” thick and made of a flexible elastomer substrate. They are about the size of a credit card, weighing 1⁄4 lb. and slide into discreet pockets throughout the vest or along the sides of the leggings. Four of the weights equal one pound.
How do I insert the weights?
Simply slide the Weight Thins™ into any pocket. They slip in easily and the pocket closures keep them secure. You can stack one or two weights into the same pocket if desired.
Will the weights fall out during activity?
No. Each vest pocket has a secure closure system designed to keep blocks in place through walking, aerobics, hiking, and even jumping movements. Legging enclosures have no sealing lip to maintain a streamlined profile slip if the wearing is upside down.
Where are the pockets located?
The women’s vests and the Pro Fitness vests have pockets across the front, back, and sides for even distribution. The leggings have pockets along the outer length of both legs (7/8 styling).
Can I customize where the weight goes?
Yes! Place weights in different pockets depending on your goals: even distribution for balanced resistance, back-heavy for posture, or a lighter starting configuration with fewer Weight Thins™ based upon the
activity or fitness level.
How much do the vests weigh fully loaded?
The Women's Vest comes with 4 lbs with all 16 weights loaded. The Men's Fitness Pro Vest comes with 8 lbs. or 32 weights. You can always start lighter and add more over time.
Sizing & Fit
Find your perfect fit and know what to expect
How do I know which size to order?
To find your perfect fit, click the 'Size Chart' link located on each product page. This will open a chart where you can compare your measurements. For the vest, measure your bust, waist, and hips. For the leggings, measure your waist and hips.
What if I'm between sizes?
Consider how you want it to fit. Size up for a slightly looser feel or if you plan to layer over thicker base layers. Size down for a snugger fit closer to your body.
How should the vest fit?
The vest should fit close to your body but not feel tight or restrictive. You should be able to move freely, raise your arms, twist, bend, without it riding up or pinching. The weight should feel evenly distributed, not pulling on your shoulders.
Do the leggings fit like regular leggings?
Yes, with a high waistband and fitted leg. The side pockets add a slight profile when weighted, but most customers find the fit comfortable and flattering. They're designed to look like premium activewear even with weights inserted.
Care & Maintenance
How to keep your CWW products in great shape
How do I wash the vest and leggings?
Remove all weights first. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry for best results, avoid high heat in the dryer. Do not put weights in the washing machine.
How do I clean the weights?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. They're water-resistant but shouldn't be submerged or machine washed. Let them air dry completely before reinserting into pockets.
How long do the weights last?
The weights are made from a durable elastomer substrate designed to last for years of regular use. They won't crack, leak, bunch up or degrade over time like sand, iron dust or gel-based weights.
What if a weight gets damaged?
