Uni-Vest™ (short) are they best value in the industry. IRONWEAR® challenges you to find a better weight vest. IRONWEAR® has been supplying Flex-Metal™ weight vests all over the world for over a decade. IRONWEAR® is the design and technology leader for weight vests. A few years ago there were only a couple different types of weight vests, now more are available, including a number of vests which claim to be “Ironwear”, have soft weights and even “Flex-Metal”weights, or claim to be “Uni-Vests” using our trademarks and patents without a license to try to get you to buy their illegal imitations. Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, but these imitations have been of terrible quality, quickly falling apart and the weights often dissolving, these companies have also been falsely selling and advertising weights as “Ironwear”. “Uni-Vest” and even “Flex-Metal”. You as the customer need to beware!!! Please contact us if you see or have purchased any imitations of our products so that we can take appropriate action. Just so you know IRONWEAR® invented soft flexible weights and Flex-Metal®, the overlapping neoprene belt system, stretch belting to allow the user to breath, the stretch internal pocket system, the short and long sizes, the laminated nylon shell to name just a few items. What you should know and you are not being told!!! All weight vests are not the same and you do not necessary get what you pay for!! Many of the weight vests are made with STEEL or LEAD BARS including Xvest™,Vmax™, ResistanceWear™ and many others. Good things about steel and lead bars: 1. Steel and lead bars are cheap. 2. They are heavy. Bad things about solid metal bars: 1. Exercising with metal bars against the body has the potential to be very dangerous and should be done with extreme care. If you fall or bump into some one the solid metal bars may cause you or another harm. 2. Solid metal bars do not conform to the shape of your body and can cause tissues damage when you move. 3. Solid metal bars can interfere with your movement, and because they do not flex they can block your ability to twist and bend. 4. When you walk quickly, run or jump the solid metal bars move up and down. This jarring motion can cause more harmful impact on the knees, shoulders and spine. 5. Vests made with solid metal bars tend to hike up the torso during many exercise like jumping rope or running. The wearer soon finds the vest has hiked up to his neck and is hitting his chin. 6. You can not do floor exercises such as sit-ups without the bars pressing into you. 7. Lead bars are by their nature toxic and must be handled with care and checked to make sure no lead is leaching out, coated lead can still leach out. Disposing of lead bars can also be difficult. 8. Vest made with solid metal bars must have the bars placed in a locations where you will not bump or press into them. For this reason they can not be positioned uniformly over the body. Many vests are made with metal shot such as Valeo’s weight vest and many others. Good things about metal shot. 1. It is cheap. 2. It is less dangerous than metal bars, so long as it is not lead shot. Bad things about metal shot. 1. Metal shot settles at the bottom of the bags creating lumps in the vest. 2. Metal shot bounces in the bag when you move. The more you move the more the shot moves around, increasing the impact on your knees, shoulders and spine. 3. When you bend, the lumps press into your body and cause localized pressure. Metal shot does not bend with you, it resists your movement. 4. Floor exercises are often painful due to the lumps. 5. The movement of the metal shot also causes the vest to hike up in the same way as the metal bars. 6. The movement of the metal shot in the bag causes the bag to wear out quickly and leak. 7. Never buy vest that uses metal shot made of lead. As the lead moves against itself it creates lead dust, the dust passes through the fabric easily and this dust is very dangerous to you and especially children. See lead poisoning. Uni-Vest™ (short) with Flex-Metal® does not have these problems, these vests: stay in place, let you breath, let you move, distribute the weight evenly, are thin, flexible, form fitting, most orthopedic shape, most durable, most comfortable and above all the safest vest line in existence.

Flex-metal® patented weight inserts are much safer than any other weights and do not push into your body. Metal bars can be extremely dangerous if you fall and they move around during exercise. Metal bars also block your movement and can not be used comfortably for floor exercises. Shot and sand bags although less dangerous move around and bulge out causing localized high pressure areas which can chafe and bruise, and are also not suitable for floor exercises. Flex-metal® patented weight inserts are only ½ inch thick, 2 inches wide and 4 ½ inches long. The inserts fit into the patented internal stretch pockets of all of IRONWEAR®’s adjustable weight products including the Uni-Vest™, Uni-Pants™, Under Vest™, Cool Vest™, Hand Irons™, Ankle Irons™, Shoe Irons™ and Iron Belt™.

The 50 pounds vest system simulates the weight of the fire fighter’s protective clothing and breathing equipment. The system also allows for the addition for another 25 pounds as required to simulate the addition of a hose bundle. The additional weights are sold separately. Maximum System weight is 76 pounds. Regular Price $359.99 (if purchased separately) Firefighters System – MSL50 Sale Price $319.99 (limited time offer) Fire Fighter’s Training\/Test Weighted Vest Systems Uni-Vest Max-System™ is used in the training, evaluation, testing of fire fighters. The system simulates the loads and stress that the body must endure with today’s equipment. The system is safer for the trainees than carrying equipment or wearing solid metal bars or plates. It is also safer for the equipment because it avoids possibly risky and unnecessary use. Why the Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the Best Weighted Vest and Best Value: Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the safest weighted vest system available because the system uses IRONWEAR®’s patented soft polymer Flex-Metal® weights. Other weighted vests use solid metal bars and plates which often chafe, bruise and injure the wearer. But IRONWEAR®’s the soft Flex-Metal® weights bend and flex with the wearer and can act as padding in case of a fall. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the best fitting weighted vest system available because, the soft Flex-Metal® weights bend and conform to the shape of the body, allowing the vest to become one with the body. IRONWEAR®’s patented oversized overlapping elastic strapping system holds the vest securely to almost any size torso while allowing for expansion and contraction of the chest during rigorous exercise. Uni-Vest Max-System™ one size fits both men and women better that any other weighted vest because, the sleek patented compact design has both chest and waist adjustments straps, as well as patented stretch internal pockets which hold the soft Flex-Metal® weights securely on all sides and allows them to bend over the the contours of the torso. The pockets are evenly distributed over the entire vest and the weights can be moved around as needed for maximum comfort and fit. For example, the soft weights can be removed from the chest pockets for additional space and can be move to other locations on the vest to maintain the same weight. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the least restrictive weighted vest because it does not contain solid metal bars, the whole vest including the soft Flex-Metal® weights, twist and bend with the body’s movements. The shoulder straps have twice the padding of any other vest and are designed not to allow the full range of motion of the wearer’s arms and maximize their reach. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the most durable weighted vest because of its elegant design. There are no latches to break, pocket flaps to connect or bulging pockets to get caught on. The outer shell is constructed of Bonded Ballistic Nylon with double stitched covered seams for comfort and long life. The inside is constructed of high grade Knitted Padded Nylon for maximum comfort and durability. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the easiest to maintain weighted vest because it is easy to wash. It can be wiped or hosed off and hung up to dry. IRONWEAR® recommends washing the vest in a shower and hanging it outside in the sun to dry. It can also be machine washed if the weights are removed and the hook and loop fasteners are securely connected first. Uni-Vest Max-System™ has the best warranty and trade-in of any weighted vest. The soft Flex-Metal® weights have a lifetime warranty and the vests have a lifetime defects warranty. Vest shells normally lasts two to ten years depending on the use and care, but IRONWEAR® has a shell replacement plan so that when you wear out a shell you can buy a new shell at half the complete vest replacement price. You simply put your existing weights in the new shell and you have a whole new vest at half the replacement price. Now, after 10 years, IRONWEAR® has just started sending out replacement shells. For example, one training organization that purchased a dozen vests nearly 10 years ago and uses the Uni-Vests™ daily just purchased a new set of shells. The organization now has a new set of vests and only paid half the replacement price. Uni-Vest Max-System™ has a longer and better history than any other weighted vest because IRONWEAR® has been producing the Uni-Vest™ system and soft Flex-Metal® weights for over ten years. IRONWEAR® is the world’s leading supplier of weighted vests and supplies only the highest quality products. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the best training tool because the multi-layer adjustable design allows the user to train and build up endurance with less weight by first wearing the outer vest loaded to a desired training weight. The wearer can then quickly add the other layer to take the vest to test weight. This can be done easily an quickly in the field and does not require the storing and handling of individual weights. Uni-Vest Max-System™ has training programs for example in one training program weights are moved from the inner to outer vest layer as the trainee’s strength increases. A. Each trainee is given a multi layer vest system loaded with the test amount of weight. The trainer tests the applicant with the vest and determines the amount of weight that trainee should use to start. B. The trainee then transfers the determined training weight to the outer vest and starts training with only the outer vest. C. As strength increases the trainee moves additional weights from the inner to the outer vest until they are ready to wear both layers. This program has many advantages: each trainee can be challenged according to their ability, the trainee maintains responsibility of all the weights and individual weights are not lost, the complete system is always available for the trainee and trainer to evaluate the trainee’s progress. Uni-Vest Max-System™ includes: Uni-Vest™ (long) Professional Outer Vest has 38 unique stretch pockets distributed evenly over the entire vest. Each pocket can accomidate one or two individual ½ pound soft Flex-Metal® weights making the vest adjustable between 2 and 40 pounds. Under-Vest™ (long) Weighted Liner does not have its own strapping system, it connects to the Uni-Vest™ and triples the shoulder padding. The liner has 36 unique stretch pockets distributed evenly over the entire liner. Each pocket can accommodate one or two individual ½ pound soft Flex-Metal® weights making the liner adjustable between 2 and 38 pounds. The liner makes it safer and simpler to put on and take off than other heavily weighted vests. Put the weight on in layers, then connect the simple attachment flaps and you are ready to go. To take it off, remove the system as one vest or detach the flaps and remove it in layers. Flex-Metal® Weights are made of IRONWEAR®’s patented polymer metal composite. The soft individual inserts are super flexible, thin and flat and do not press into your body like solid metal weights. All the edges are fully rounded, so there are no sharp or hard corners or bulges. Each individual weight insert also has a patented fabric shell to allow it slide into the weight pockets.

I purchased the speed vest. I did want to let you know that the design of the vest is superior to what I had previously. It wears easily and snugly without \"cutting into\" my small frame. It consistently closes tightly with the velcro each time. I wear it for swimming laps, and rock climbing routes as I train for climbing. -It dries out in an eve, laid out flat. It washed well when one of my friends used it, sweated profusely in it (that was gross) and has survived 6 months of regular, daily wear. It does not sag with the weights inside ( as the other vest had done). The stitching has not come apart, the vest has no holes or frayed areas. I am truly impressed with the product. It is an excellent, well made product. I wanted to let you know. I thank you for this product!!!\" (Athlete) ????? The Speed Vest is great. I like most that it is slim and form-fitting. (Athlete) ????? I purchased a speedvest from you a little over a year ago now, I am a gymnastics instructor but I teach parkour as well. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that i truly enjoy my speedvest as nothing allows me to be lighter on my feet than your vest. I have tried other weight vests in the past but your is truly a work of art, I use it for rockclimbing, swimming, even when training outside I can comfortably roll on the ground with the vest on and not get bruised. I recommend it to everyone I know and even use mine during my classes sometimes to get my students to be lighter on their feet. Truly a remarkable product, Thank You! (Professional Trainer) ????? Another great product! I've used your products for almost twenty years as I've coached strength and conditioning at: The University of Wisconsin, New York Islanders, Phoenix Coyotes and now with XPE Sports, an industry leader in NFL Combine training and Off season training for the NHL, NFL, and MLB.

I've used my share of weight vests: from the ones that wrap around your chest with a bandolier of solid bricks, to ones that were super heavy with lead short bricks, to straight up body armor. The Ironwear Uni-vests is different from them all. I picked up a 20lb Uni Vests to train with, looking for something with more flex and ergonomics. running or jumping with a 40 lb vests on that's not secure well or form fitting can knock the wind out of you - every so slightly. This isn't the case with the Uni Vest. I tested the Ironwear Uni Vests out doing a WOD with power cleans, ring dips, planks, and shuttle sprints and it stayed tight to my body the whole time. The Ballistic Nylon shell and soft-flex weights made it very comfortable to wear when doing plyometrics or weighted conditioning work. I tested it out last week with a great little WOD - burpees and 20 inch box jump overs. It held up well there too, gripping my body and not being too cumbersome or awkward, and still allowing me to move great.

IRONWEAR® challenges you to find a better weight vest. IRONWEAR ™ has been supplying Flex-Metal® weight vests all over the world for over a decade. IRONWEAR® is the design and technology leader for weight vests. A few years ago there were only a couple different types of weight vests, now more are available, including a number of vests which claim to be “Ironwear”, have soft weights and even “Flex-Metal”weights, or claim to be “Uni-Vests” using our trademarks and patents without a license to try to get you to buy their illegal imitations. Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, but these imitations have been of terrible quality, quickly falling apart and the weights often dissolving. You as the customer need to beware!!! Please contact us if you see or have purchased any imitations of our products so that we can take appropriate action. Just so you know IRONWEAR® invented soft flexible weights and Flex-Metal®, the overlapping neoprene belt system, stretch belting to allow the user to breath, the stretch internal pocket system, the short and long sizes, the laminated nylon shell to name just a few items. What you should know and you are not being told!!! All weight vests are not the same and you do not necessary get what you pay for!! Many of the weight vests are made with STEEL or LEAD BARS including Xvest™,Vmax™, ResistanceWear™ and many others. Good things about steel and lead bars: 1. Steel and lead bars are cheap. 2. They are heavy. Bad things about solid metal bars: 1. Exercising with metal bars against the body has the potential to be very dangerous and should be done with extreme care. If you fall or bump into some one the solid metal bars may cause you or another harm. 2. Solid metal bars do not conform to the shape of your body and can cause tissues damage when you move. 3. Solid metal bars can interfere with your movement, and because they do not flex they can block your ability to twist and bend. 4. When you walk quickly, run or jump the solid metal bars move up and down. This jarring motion can cause more harmful impact on the knees, shoulders and spine. 5. Vests made with solid metal bars tend to hike up the torso during many exercise like jumping rope or running. The wearer soon finds the vest has hiked up to his neck and is hitting his chin. 6. You can not do floor exercises such as sit-ups without the bars pressing into you. 7. Lead bars are by their nature toxic and must be handled with care and checked to make sure no lead is leaching out, coated lead can still leach out. Disposing of lead bars can also be difficult. 8. Vest made with solid metal bars must have the bars placed in a locations where you will not bump or press into them. For this reason they can not be positioned uniformly over the body. Many vests are made with metal shot such as Valeo’s weight vest and many others. Good things about metal shot. 1. It is cheap. 2. It is less dangerous than metal bars, so long as it is not lead shot. Bad things about metal shot. 1. Metal shot settles at the bottom of the bags creating lumps in the vest. 2. Metal shot bounces in the bag when you move. The more you move the more the shot moves around, increasing the impact on your knees, shoulders and spine. 3. When you bend, the lumps press into your body and cause localized pressure. Metal shot does not bend with you, it resists your movement. 4. Floor exercises are often painful due to the lumps. 5. The movement of the metal shot also causes the vest to hike up in the same way as the metal bars. 6. The movement of the metal shot in the bag causes the bag to wear out quickly and leak. 7. Never buy vest that uses metal shot made of lead. As the lead moves against itself it creates lead dust, the dust passes through the fabric easily and this dust is very dangerous to you and especially children. See lead poisoning. Uni-Vest™ (short) with Flex-Metal® does not have these problems, these vests: stay in place, let you breath, let you move, distribute the weight evenly, are thin, flexible, form fitting, most orthopedic shape, most durable, most comfortable and above all the safest vest line in existence.

After discussing this with him he actually suggested I go with a large unit vs. the one I purchased. All in all he provided superior service that not only met my needs but also exceeded them. He also threw in a few freebies unexpectedly (which I am grateful for). I will definitely do business with Ironwear Fitness again and I recommend to all this great company to do business with. I've used this product for a week now and the fit is comfortable for my son and I already see improvement in his training. #loyalCustomer\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LACEUP ATHLETICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47728194027677,"sku":null,"price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/6986\/9469\/files\/medium-speed-vest-breathable-8-lb-youth-medium-large-athletic-weighted-vest-41.jpg?v=1773596316"},{"product_id":"new-black-ballistic-nylon-univest-maxsystem-soft-flexmetal-professional-weighted-vest-1-fire-fire-fighters-vest-adjustable-from-1-to-56-lbs-supplied-at-25-lbs","title":"Black Ballistic Nylon, (short) Uni-Vest® Max-System™, Soft Flex-Metal®, Professional Weighted Vest, #1 FIRE FIRE FIGHTER'S VEST, adjustable from 1 to 56 lbs. supplied at 25 lbs (MS25) ?????","description":"\u003cp\u003eUni-Vest Short Max-System™ 25 Pound Training and Test System Was developed to meet the requirements of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and the International CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test), as a tool to aid in the training and testing a candidate’s physical fitness. The 25 pounds vest system simulates the weight of the fire fighter’s protective clothing and equipment. The system also allows for the addition for another 16 pounds. The additional weights are sold separately. Short Maximum System total possible weight is 56 pounds. Fire Fighter’s Training\/Test Weighted Vest Systems Uni-Vest Max-System™ is used in the training, evaluation, testing of fire fighters. The system simulates the loads and stress that the body must endure with today’s equipment. The system is safer for the trainees than carrying equipment or wearing solid metal bars or plates. It is also safer for the equipment because it avoids possibly risky and unnecessary use. Why the Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the Best Weighted Vest and Best Value: Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the safest weighted vest system available because the system uses IRONWEAR®’s patented soft polymer Flex-Metal® weights. Other weighted vests use solid metal bars and plates which often chafe, bruise and injure the wearer. But IRONWEAR®’s the soft Flex-Metal® weights bend and flex with the wearer and can act as padding in case of a fall. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the best fitting weighted vest system available because, the soft Flex-Metal® weights bend and conform to the shape of the body, allowing the vest to become one with the body. IRONWEAR®’s patented oversized overlapping elastic strapping system holds the vest securely to almost any size torso while allowing for expansion and contraction of the chest during rigorous exercise. Uni-Vest Max-System™ one size fits both men and women better that any other weighted vest because, the sleek patented compact design has both chest and waist adjustments straps, as well as patented stretch internal pockets which hold the soft Flex-Metal® weights securely on all sides and allows them to bend over the the contours of the torso. The pockets are evenly distributed over the entire vest and the weights can be moved around as needed for maximum comfort and fit. For example, the soft weights can be removed from the chest pockets for additional space and can be move to other locations on the vest to maintain the same weight. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the least restrictive weighted vest because it does not contain solid metal bars, the whole vest including the soft Flex-Metal® weights, twist and bend with the body’s movements. The shoulder straps have twice the padding of any other vest and are designed not to allow the full range of motion of the wearer’s arms and maximize their reach. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the most durable weighted vest because of its elegant design. There are no latches to break, pocket flaps to connect or bulging pockets to get caught on. The outer shell is constructed of Bonded Ballistic Nylon with double stitched covered seams for comfort and long life. The inside is constructed of high grade Knitted Padded Nylon for maximum comfort and durability. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the easiest to maintain weighted vest because it is easy to wash. It can be wiped or hosed off and hung up to dry. IRONWEAR® recommends washing the vest in a shower and hanging it outside in the sun to dry. It can also be machine washed if the weights are removed and the hook and loop fasteners are securely connected first. Uni-Vest Max-System™ has the best warranty and trade-in of any weighted vest. The soft Flex-Metal® weights have a lifetime warranty and the vests have a lifetime defects warranty. Vest shells normally lasts two to ten years depending on the use and care, but IRONWEAR® has a shell replacement plan so that when you wear out a shell you can buy a new shell at half the complete vest replacement price. You simply put your existing weights in the new shell and you have a whole new vest at half the replacement price. Now, after 10 years, IRONWEAR® has just started sending out replacement shells. For example, one training organization that purchased a dozen vests nearly 10 years ago and uses the Uni-Vests™ daily just purchased a new set of shells. The organization now has a new set of vests and only paid half the replacement price. Uni-Vest Max-System™ has a longer and better history than any other weighted vest because IRONWEAR® has been producing the Uni-Vest™ system and soft Flex-Metal® weights for over ten years. IRONWEAR® is the world’s leading supplier of weighted vests and supplies only the highest quality products. Uni-Vest Max-System™ is the best training tool because the multi-layer adjustable design allows the user to train and build up endurance with less weight by first wearing the outer vest loaded to a desired training weight. The wearer can then quickly add the other layer to take the vest to test weight. This can be done easily an quickly in the field and does not require the storing and handling of individual weights. Uni-Vest Max-System™ has training programs for example in one training program weights are moved from the inner to outer vest layer as the trainee’s strength increases. A. Each trainee is given a multi layer vest system loaded with the test amount of weight. The trainer tests the applicant with the vest and determines the amount of weight that trainee should use to start. B. The trainee then transfers the determined training weight to the outer vest and starts training with only the outer vest. C. As strength increases the trainee moves additional weights from the inner to the outer vest until they are ready to wear both layers. This program has many advantages: each trainee can be challenged according to their ability, the trainee maintains responsibility of all the weights and individual weights are not lost, the complete system is always available for the trainee and trainer to evaluate the trainee’s progress. Uni-Vest Max-System™ includes: Uni-Vest™ (short) Professional Outer Vest has 26 unique stretch pockets distributed evenly over the entire vest. Each pocket can accomidate one or two individual ½ pound soft Flex-Metal® weights making the vest adjustable between 1 and 28 pounds. The short system gives you more flexibility that the long system and is ideal where a lot of twisting or bending is required for training and testing. Under-Vest™ (short) Weighted Liner does not have its own strapping system, it connects to the Uni-Vest™ and triples the shoulder padding. The liner has 26 unique stretch pockets distributed evenly over the entire liner. Each pocket can accommodate one or two individual ½+ pound soft Flex-Metal® weights making the liner adjustable between 1 and 28 pounds. The liner makes it safer and simpler to put on and take off than other heavily weighted vests. Put the weight on in layers, then connect the simple attachment flaps and you are ready to go. To take it off, remove the system as one vest or detach the flaps and remove it in layers. Flex-Metal® Weights are made of IRONWEAR®’s patented polymer metal composite. The soft individual inserts are super flexible, thin and flat and do not press into your body like solid metal weights. All the edges are fully rounded, so there are no sharp or hard corners or bulges. Each individual weight insert also has a patented fabric shell to allow it slide into the weight pockets.

Shot and sand bags although less dangerous move around and bulge out causing localized high pressure areas which can chafe and bruise, and are also not suitable for floor exercises. Flex-metal® patented weight inserts are only ½ inch thick, 2 inches wide and 4 ½ inches long. The inserts fit into the patented internal stretch pockets of all of IRONWEAR®’s adjustable weight products including the Uni-Vest™, Uni-Pants™, Under Vest™, Cool Vest™, Hand Irons™, Ankle Irons™, Shoe Irons™ and Iron Belt™. Most IRONWEAR® products are supplied with one weight per pocket, but the pockets have been specially designed to hold one or two weights securely. IRONWEAR® has been supplying Flex-Metal® weight vests all over the world for over two decades. IRONWEAR® is the design and technology leader for weight vests. IRONWEAR® invented soft flexible weights and Flex-Metal®, the overlapping neoprene belt system, stretch belting to allow the user to breath, the stretch internal pocket system, the short and long sizes, the laminated nylon shell to name just a few items.

I purchased the speed vest from Power Systems, as I have purchased much if not most of my home gym equipment from them. I did want to let you know that the design of the vest is superior to what I had previously. It wears easily and snugly without \"cutting into\" my small frame. It consistently closes tightly with the velcro each time. I wear it for swimming laps, and rock climbing routes as I train for climbing. -It dries out in an eve, laid out flat. It washed well when one of my friends used it, sweated profusely in it (that was gross) and has survived 6 months of regular, daily wear. It does not sag with the weights inside ( as the other vest had done). The stitching has not come apart, the vest has no holes or frayed areas. I am truly impressed with the product. It is an excellent, well made product. I wanted to let you know. I thank you for this product!!! Hilary\" \"The Speed Vest is great. I like most that it is slim and form-fitting.
