might be the hot item for the new year I just got mine for x-mas it's awesome been doing scrappers workout 1 with it. It works your core very hard. try to get a vest that has good distribution I don't like the all-pro vest. I got mine from amas.net for 110.00 and you can get additional weight if you like it fits reall good it won't bounce around velcro straps really good.
