Hyper Vest

The Hyper Vest by Hyper Wear is a fantastic product.  The first run I did with the vest was an hour.  The vest was awesome.  It felt like a second skin.  I next wore the vest on an extremely hilly 5 mile run.  Again the vest worked perfectly.  I found given the same workout I lost about a pound more in weight.  The next day I ran without the vest and I felt like I was flying.  Nothing like instantly loosing 5lbs.

The Pros

• Side Slide Cords allow for a lot of adjust-ability
• Ability to increase weight of the vest from 5lbs to 20lbs for the small and medium vests and 5lbs to 40lbs for the large and extra large vests.
• The vest acts like a second skin once zipped up and adjusted.

The Cons

• The vest gets a little warm on hot days. Not much you can do about this.
• It sometimes is hard to zip the vest back up if zipped down during hard workout sessions.

What I Would Change

• Add Slide Cords to the shoulder area for more adjust-ability.
• Add some type of hooks to the front, which would allow the vest to be unzipped yet still secure.

My Modifications

• None

Usuful Tips

• Get the base model first with 5lbs. You may find that is all you need in your workouts.
