Evenly distributed weight in the front and back. Each weight is a solid 2.5 lb.  rounded metal bar. Easily remove weights by lifting the flaps and sliding them out of their pocket. The 60 lb. short vest is a 40 lb. vest with a 20 lb. removable attachment (basically, mini vest without padded shoulders which slips over the 40 lb weight vest  and and is secured with velcro type fasteners and webbing straps).

The open side design allows you to work out a bit cooler and not be confined. The belts expand with your breathing while holding your vest in place. Your vest won’t sag, rip, or stretch over time.

Fully padded panels and shoulders make your vest as comfortable as possible.
