Weighted "X" Vest - Fitness by Cathe

[carres1973]

I have a question for those of you who have already received your weighted vest by Cathe. I see that it is adjustable but is it one of those "one size fits most" deals or is it constructed in such a way that it should fit pretty much everyone? It seems to be the latter so I am really tempted to buy it. BUT...I would hate to get it and have it not fit. Thanks in advance for opinions.

On a side note, I received my weighted gloves today (like Cathe is wearing ^^) and I really like them! I didn't expect them to seem so heavy! I am really impressed with the construction and happy with the size. I bought the large because I read that Cathe wears the medium. They fit nice...a little big but I think once I get working with them, they will be perfect.

I think the vest should fit everyone. It fits around the shoulders like backpack straps and then has a clip similar to the clip on a backpack (well, the LL Bean kind--don't ask me why I have backpacks on the mind--must be the back to school season ) that's adjustable.

I agree with Allison. The arm holes are pretty wide and open and the strap adjust. I wouldn't pull it too tight. I did that and the vest was choking me

Carrie---the gloves will stretch with time (especially around the fingers), you might want to exchange for a smaller size? I've had Altus brand for about 12 years now (look exactly like Cathe's)---I'm on my second pair (b/c they smell & stretch after time). LOVE them. I even use them for step workouts.

Thanks everyone for your opinions on the weighted vest. I guess it will be my next purchase from Cathe. After watching the "instructional" dvd that came with the gloves, I can see that I also "need" the kettlebell/med ball, the weighted bar/resistance tubing...ooohhh, and also the pink boxing gloves. How cute are those??

Thank goodness Christmas is coming up.
