Problems solved by technology

Such weighted vests are prone to rapid wear and tear, especially and specifically at the pockets which contain the weights.
Current and past weighted vests do not have freezable, removable cooling packs to help keep the wearer cool during strenuous athletic activity.
Various materials are used to manufacture weighted vests, but none provide a substantial cooling effect.

Embodiment Construction

—PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0021]FIG. 1 shows a weighted vest (10) with an attached hydration pack (20) to provide fluids to the wearer during physical exertion. The hydration pack (20) contains a fill able bladder (36) which has a delivery tube (22) used to facilitate fluids to the wearer during physical exertion.

[0022]FIG. 2 shows a pocket constructed from belt webbing attached to a weighted vest. The pocket consists of a horizontal portion (30), a vertical portion (32) which is attached to the horizontal portion (30) and a containment flap (26) designed to attach to the vertical webbing portion (32) to keep the weight (38) from escaping. The horizontal webbing (30) resists the lateral forces of the weight (38). The vertical webbing (32) resists the vertical forces of the weight (38).

[0023]FIG. 3 shows an isometric view of a weighted vest (10) containing a freezable, removable material (16) inside a special compartment (12) located inside the weighted vest (10) so as to be in a positi...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Claim to priority of PPA, article number 70022030000022720216. FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not Applicable. SEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM [0003] Non applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of Invention [0005] This invention relates to weighted vests for athletic training and testing. [0006] 2. Background of the Invention [0007] Current and earlier weighted vests are constructed of conventional fabrics for main body, lining and weight containing pockets. Specifically, they have pockets made of nylon fabric or heavy cotton duck materials. Such weighted vests are prone to rapid wear and tear, especially and specifically at the pockets which contain the weights. [0008] Current and past weighted vests do not have hydration systems attached to aid the wearer in fighting dehydration during strenuous athletic activity. Current and earlier weighted vests require the wearer to put on a hydration pack or bottle pack in additio...
