Mbody's CloseGrip Weighted Vest

Anyone here have any experiences with this product?

I'm looking for a weighted vest to add some external loading on my blast strap exercises. I've already looked at others such as the V-Max and X-vest. Those prices are a little to high for me right now.

I want at least 50 lbs but I'm wondering if that back pocket can fit a 45 lb plate or even one of my 100 lb plate (I doubt it, haha).

Oh, that's the same as this one:

Yeah, we already did some fairly serious ragging on it already. Sorry I don't have that vest but I wanted to re-post the famous pic again.

i've got a vest like it- well i actually have the one rplass linked a pic of (mine doesn't have nipples, though). it's pretty nice, seems very well made. i haven't used it alot yet, though, so i guess i can't really help much.

what plates are you using? i don't have many standard plates to check into, but i know an olympic 25 will fit in the back pocket, and olympic 10s will fit in the fronts. a 45/100 will not fit in the back of the vest i have.

If I was to get it, I would probably be using olympic plates. But since olympic plates are usually thicker than standard plates, you think it would be possible to fit two 25 lb standard plate in the back pocket and two 10 lb plate one each side of the front pockets?

I would really appreciate it if you can post some pix with it being loaded with weights. Thanks.
