So far so good! I normally wear 3XL, was a perfect fit! I'm 6'2" and weigh about 265. I'm about 50" in the chest and 40" waist, so I wanted to make sure it would fit. It is a little snug, but it does not restrict my breathing or movement in any way. I think it's best when it fits you a little snug as it kinda brings everything together (the flab) and enhances the sweat factor......my opinion anyway. I've worn it a few times so far and it does make you sweat pretty good. I like that it is reversible so you can wear it black side out or turquoise side out. Once I'm done with my work out, I give it a good rinse with some light soapy water and let it hang dry. It just takes 2 minutes to clean it. It will have that factory smell when you first use it, but soon enough it fades. I would definitely recommend this vest to anyone looking to shed those extra pounds. I'm even considering ordering another one. The price is totally worth it! I hope this review helps.
This is essentially a sauna suit. It helps me sweat more during my weight training days. I had one before this that ripped so I needed a replacement. This was it at a good price. There was a little bit of a chemical smell but that went away after a day of airing it out. Wiped it down with some chlorox wipes and it was all good. The material is pretty good, relatively thick and definitely does its job at making me retain heat and sweat more. Stitching seems pretty good so I'm expecting this one to last just as long as my previous one did. My previous sweat vest has helped me lose weight (water loss), heal faster. Just remember to drink fluids while you work out to avoid heat stroke.
works really well! It was the first time I was using such a thing and I can say that I was very impressed. I would like to recommend it to everyone who is trying to lose some kilos. It will be very helpful. I am now looking for shorts like this one, so if there are any recommendations I will be very thankful :)
Get a size up, I'm 2xl and wearing it makes it feel like I'm wearing an xl. When you first get the item hand wash it and dry it in shade before trying it on. Will definitely make you sweat as advertised. Comfort, worth my money, a little strenchy but slim fit when wearing a size up.
I was a little hesitant on the size fitting but I followed the recommendations, I wear an extra large shirt for comfort as a large fits tightly, and I ordered a large vest. It fit perfect. Its comfortable and supportive and makes me drop water weight as soon as I start moving in it. The profuse sweating is also encouraging, if you are trying to drop weight, as well as making my skin feel healthier. Humans were meant to sweat. I appreciate the jump start this gives me in starting the burn.
I saw the unfavorable comments about this not being neoprene and can say definitively that this is neoprene. It does say it has a polyester outer layer but I cant tell as it is EXACTLY like the wet suits I wear surfing.
Bottom line is this is a quality product. I have used it about 10 times and the zipper seems solid. It feels like a quality product. It looks like a quality product. If it looks and quacks like a duck ... Its a duck. If you need a neoprene wetsuit vest to help you sweat that will be with you for the long haul buy this.
