Weighted Vest ~ What is the weight?

[DixieGirl]

I just got my 12-20 lb vest in the mail and there is nothing in the box that tells what the vest alone weighs or how much the sandbags weigh. I'm assuming the bags weigh 1 lb each but I'd like to know how much the vest weighs alone w/out having to take all the sandbags out to weigh it on my scale

Logically since the vest is 12 - 20 lbs, that means that without any of the extra weights added the vest alone weighs 12 lbs. I'm not sure how many sandbags there are, but all of the sandbags must add up to that missing 8lbs. So if there are eight sandbags, they each weigh one pound.
