Abstract

A weighted exercise vest is adapted for wearing on the upper body of a person. The vest has front and rear compartments in which multiple weights may be inserted. The compartments securely hold the weights therein when the wearer is engaged in physical activity. The weight-containing compartments, according to one or more embodiments of the invention, are formed as elongated tubular ribs or pockets and are located across the back, front or sides of the vest. The vest, in a particularly preferred embodiment, also includes a single pocket advantageously located on the upper back portion of the vest, sized to fit other equipment, such as a portable CD or cassette tape player. The outer surface of the weight-containing compartments or pockets is made from elastic material or includes elastic lining or bands to snugly hold the weights or other equipment inserted therein. In a certain embodiments of the invention, the vest has air-pervious panels, for example on the left and right sides, to allow for air circulation between the body of the wearer and the vest.
