While searching the archives I found these two brands mentioned the most. The V-Max has more durable materials, though I doubt I would be able to beat up the X-vest that much. The X-vest seems like it may be more ergonomic/comfortable. What are your thoughts?
I’ve got a 50 lb V-max short vest and I love it. I had a crappy wal-martish full length vest before that, and the freedom of movement is worth the higher price (for me at least.)
Alright. I bought the 84 pound Xvest last night on ebay (new). It came to 259.change, which I think is a good price. This is my birthday gift to myself, and I think it’s hilarious that I’m so excited to get it. I haven’t been this excited for something in quite some time.
Not a routine, but I enjoy doing chin ups with a weight vest. I’ve used up to a 40# vest, and didn’t even realize they had ones going up to 80#. That’s really awesome. Are you guys completely satisfied with the X-Vest? How is the fit especially around the neck?
i usually do cardio and plyo’s with mine…i have an x-vest, it fits great, you can add or subtract weight easily. mind you i only have the 40 lb vest but that is sufficient for my needs. and its great for chin ups and pullups and box jumps.
i havent tried any other vest but i havent had any problems with the x vest
