Benefits of technology

[0004]The weight vest of this invention includes a carrier or support garment and a plurality of individual weight packets, which are selectively mounted to the support garment using a MOLLE (MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) interface style connection. The MOLLE system connection allows the each individual weight to be readily affixed to and selectively positioned about the support garment to distribute the weight as needed and desired. The support garment may take any form suitable for being worn by an individual during exercise and activities. In one embodiment, the support garment consists of a vest having a front section and a back with open sides. The front section and back sections have a plurality of slits integrally formed in the cover material, which provides the Molle interface. The individual weight packets consist of a weighted core covered by a fabric covering integrally bonded to the core. The packet includes a fastening strap, which allows the packet to be directly affixed to the MOLLE interface of the support garment.

Problems solved by technology

Heretofore, the use of pockets and pouches to carry individual weights has not provided sufficient support when weight vests are used in the dynamic movement of certain physical exercises.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 165,262 filed May 22, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.[0002]This invention relates to a weighted vest used in physical exercise, and in particular a modular weight vest having individual weights affixed using a MOLLE attachment mechanism.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Weight vests are used in physical training and exercise, particularly muscle building, body-weight exercises, and cardio activities. Weight vests are worn to provide more weight to the body during exercise making the exercise more challenging and more effective. Because weight vests are worn during exercise the vests must be snugly fit to the wearer and more importantly any weights carried on the vest must be securely attached the vest. Most weight vests carry individual weights in pockets or pouches that allow weights to be selectively added to the vest. Heretofore, the use of pockets and po...
