ABSTRACT:
A variably weighted vest is provided for use in exercise, such as jogging, skating, bicycling and horseback riding. The vest is preferably provided with a plurality of pockets for the reception of commonly available material such as sand, pebbles, small stones, or even coins. The pockets are deep and large enough to hold, for example, approximately thirty pounds of weight and may be lightened as desired by the removal of an appropriate amount of the material used as weights. In one preferred embodiment a plurality of elongated tubular ribs are provided to minimize lateral shifting of the weight in use. In another preferred embodiment a single large pocket is provided across the back of the vest and a smaller pocket on each side of the front of the vest. The variably weighted vest according to the invention is relatively loose fitting so as to permit maximum comfort and body movement as compared with weighted garments of the prior art.
