Weighted Vest

My X-Vest finally bit the dust, so I'm looking for a new weighted vest for pull-ups, dips and ring work. Has anyone here used the 'Hyper Vest'. Looks good on the web site (ie: fits close and evenly distributes weight). The X-Vest was good for dips and pull-ups, but I didn't find it comfortable enough for more complex moves.

Why do you need this?

Just hold a dumbbell between your legs.

Seems like a waste of money.

if you're only doing dips and pullups then any implement you can use to hang weight off of you should be fine. The XVest's value is realized imo when you're out sprinting and shit with it. What do you mean "bit the dust"? Broke?

^ I've used my X-Vest for years for ring work, rope-climbs, box jumps, sprinting, bleacher runs and occasionally for extra (centered) weight on squats, lunges ect. The dumbbell between the legs or attached to the waist works for dips/chins, but that's all.

It's just completely beat from years of sweat, wear and being shared with friends. It's now covered in duct tape now. I've never been crazy about the fit, it tends to flop around since the weight is pretty concentrated.

The hyper vest looks nice, but I'm way too cheap to pay that kind of money for a weight vest. I think it was $169 + shipping!

Rocks work just as well for weighing down a dead body, bro.
