My favorites are Ironwear vests ( www.ironwearfitness.com ).
Adjustable, washable, and they use comfortable heavy rubber weights, that also are used in their ankle weights/belt.

One?
More like oneS!
I have the short Coolvest (for walking), one of the short black "SWAT-team" vests (LOL!) and an undervest (I bought the undervest and the Coolvest last year when they were having a sale).
I also have three pairs of weighted gloves from them (1, 2, 3#) and a weighted pair of ankle weights that hook together to form a belt.
I LOVE IRONWEAR!

lol...if i only wanted one, primarily for sts, whic would you advise?

Go by cost and how much weight you want to add: probably either the short or long "SWAT" vest (the long one may be uncomfortable for those who are short waisted, or maybe for those who aren't long waisted. (I don't think I'm short waisted, but I think the bottom of the longer vest would get in the way or be uncomfortable for squats and lunges).
HTH!

Thanks for this link Kathryn! They are having a Valentine's Day special! Vests, vests, vests, vests! Since I can't get a Cathe vest anywhere, I may have to get one of these! I am interested in both the Cool Vest and the Women's Vest, but alas I can only have one (for now!).

It's not as pretty
, but it's washable and adjustable (the Altus one isn't), two features I would never do without on a weighted vest.

I really like my cool vest.
I don't have the women's vest, but it looks like it would work well for well-endowed women. I am not (small B here), so getting smooshed down a bit by the other vests doesn't bother me.
