Cathe's Weighted Vest?

[TXGin]

Is there a difference between Cathe's 10# weighted vest that is available on cathe.com for $44.99 and the one on walmart.com for $29.95???

If they are both Altus, I'd assume the only difference is the Cathe logo.

Gin, it's the exact same vest. It's just cheaper at walmart.com. Go figure

They are the same vest - can't believe there is such a big difference in price though!!! WOW

Same one, I bought mine for $30 on Walmart, but buy it at this price if you want it, after I bought mine, it went up to $38, so looks like it's back down again. I did the site to store thing where they ship it for free to the Walmart of your choice.

Gin,

Where did you see the vest on Walmart.com. I just tried looking for it and didn;t see it.

Thanks,

Not Gin - but go to the sports/fitness section of the site and do search for "cathe"... all the Fitness by Cathe products will appear there.

Has anyone noticed the Fitness by Cathe line is for sale on Amazon? I was hoping for that. There's free shipping eligibility on each one, it seems. Will probably buy a lot of the items there when I get the money.

It looks like Walmart has everything a bit cheaper than anywhere else - so I will likely buy my cathe gear there (except I will use my coupon from my calendar order to get some more regular risers and some slanted risers - and, okay, a few more dvds!!!)

Since it doesn´t specifcally mention this, I assume that Cathe´s vest is not adjustable in weight?

 

[princessbear]

You assume correctly - it is not adjustable. I may order it anyway - it will be fine until she comes up with a 20# vest... (sighs dreamily, hoping and praying that she does come out with either an adjustable vest or a 20#)

I think I will wait until a 20 lb. or perhaps 40 lb. vest is released. 10 lb. is too light to sub for increasing a barbell in a heavy leg routine. I believe Cathe at one point mentioned heavier ones would definitely be in the works, but not sure if that has changed.

Oops... somehow didn't see the other posts... but agree

the Xvest is not washable or weight adjustable... which is why I'll be taking mine back (it's a Fitness by Cathe, so still supporting Cathe Nation, but got it at Sports Chalet locally, rather than paying shipping). I just feel that more weight will be more usefull down the road with STS. I have a hard time with a Barbell when doing lower body work so this vest will help me in that regard...

but lots here do find it comfortable, useful and a good investment...
