The leggings are high-waisted and 7/8s length styling. They include 10 removable Weight Thins™ (2 1⁄2 lbs) designed to fit into the side pockets, five are located down the outside of each leg.

Yes! We sell additional Weights in 2 lb. Increments. Customers sometimes have an extra set at home, one at the gym, or to have replacements on hand. One or two Weight Thins™ can fit into any of the outside enclosures, depending on your activity or fitness level.

The Women's Vest comes in 2 colors, Black and Black/White Art. The Women's Leggings and the Men's Fitness Pro Vests are available in 1 color, Black.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
