    Weighted vest

    Just like the title says, looking into buying one. Anyone have any recommendations of a brand or where to pick one up?
    Thanks

    you can get them on ebay, although the shipping cost would be huge because of the weight....

    Army kid, whats your purpose of using one? Just curious, everyone has a different reason. My buddy that used to train for MMA they always wore them . I'm currently trying to become a fire fighter so trying to simulate wearing bunker gear, I think it should work pretty well.

    Most of the ones I'm seeing are around 100$ for a 45lb vest, seems decent. Didn't look into shipping yet but I am sure its killer.

    I'm guessing the point is bodyweight exercises like dips and push ups? I knew a guy that trained boxing with one it was night and day in intensity.
