Whats a decent quality weighted vest?

[LonelyBedouin]

Ive looked around found MiR, a little on the expensive side. Any suggestions? This is for cardio purposes to simulate my gear that I would be wearing.

Its costly but the kettlebells I've got from agatsu were quality, I assume the vest would be quality also.

[physique]

yes weighted vests are expensive. hell i have tried to find a supplier even to have them in my store and the prices i have been quoted are nuts.

i think one could probably design something cheaper then buying one

I actually read somewhere someone converted a PFD (life jacket) into a weighted vest. Im thinking I might do the same and see if I can buy iron blocks small enough to make pouches for em

You can make some iron blocks with paper mache and cement. The same way they make the strongman stones.

Any advice on how to do that? Im not sure what you mean.

I sell them, they're not on my website yet (bellsofsteel.com) I've had very positive feedback and no broken ones so far, but my prices just got jacked up. It's $170 for a 20lb, $225 for a 40lb plus shiping from Calgary. Heres a pic! http://twitpic.com/2irjht

And what you charge for shipping? Any chance your ever going to get something closer to 75lbs?

I can get the X-Vest that's 84lbs http://www.healthygatherings.com/items/lg/20_xvest.jpg, it's $419.99 +GST, not sure where you are in Ontario but shipping on that one is about $80 to Toronto.

I actually found one at muscleup.ca 84lbs for 364 or 415 roughly with shipping.

Thanks though Ice Age.
