Performance Benefits
By enabling a gradual increase in weight over time, the Straightjacket Vest serves as a premier resistance accessory for athletes of any size and skill level. Adding the vest to your regimen maximizes the intensity and benefits of bodyweight movements such as sprints, pull-ups, sit-ups, squats, and box jumps. The compact, shorter length specifically ensures the vest doesn't impede mobility around the midsection or hips, allowing for a deep squat or high knee drive during cardio without restriction.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the durability and hygiene of your 100LB Straightjacket Vest, it is recommended to spot clean the 1000D-Cordura nylon exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent mildew and odor build-up from sweat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the vest. Store the individual 2.5LB weight blocks in a dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the pockets and prevent excessive, long-term stretching of the fabric.
