The all new Ironwear Cool Vest is loaded with new safety and performance features. Let's start with the cool mesh material. This strong mesh material will keep you cool, help reduce sweating and make the vest more of a pleasure to use even on warmer days. This vest departs from the tradition Ironwear bib style to a jacket style with heavy-duty zipper front. No more putting the vest on over your head. The cool vest also includes the convenience feature of two zip pockets for keys, mp3 player, IPOD or cellphone. Now that's smart! there's also a reflective safety bar on the front and the back.
"By far the key feature on this new design from Ironwear is the use of durable, wide mesh fabric. The fabric will keep the user cooler than any vest I know of presently on the market. Excessive heat build up and excessive sweat loss is a common problem with weight vests. Designer Arnold Cook of Ironwear has addressed this issue with the use of this new Cool Mesh. I also like the finishing touches of zip up front, accessory/mp3 pocket left and right and a wide reflective stripe on the back. This vest is ideal for anyone concerned with overheating- especially during the Summer season." Hal Lier, Owner- Nefitco.com
Like the regular standard Shorty this vest is adjustable from 2-10 lbs via 18 individual 1/2 pound FlexMetal® rubber weights (vest with no weights weighs 1 lb). Maximum potential weight of the vest with additional optional weights is 20 lbs. This vest features a quick velcro closure system at the waist which secures the rear to the front of vest tightly to your body. The body hugging fit of this weight vest keeps it from shifting during the the most vigorous exercise. The tight to the torso, molded, custom fit eliminates weight shifting during activities like power walking, plyometrics, hill bounding, running, lateral drills and vertical jumps. Weight vests are also used in the gym when performing squats, lunges, dips, pull-ups, push-ups, etc. Another nice but seldom mentioned feature of Ironwear vests is the flat low profile FlexMetal weights. If you're on the floor or ground exercising with the vest on you'll appreciate the comfortable, flat, broad surface of FlexMetal compared to cigar shaped steel weights.
FlexMetal® is a patented process combining rubber like material and iron or other elements to create a high density, relatively small and flat flexible weight. FlexMetal® rectangular vest weights weigh 1/2 lbs. each. This thin weight with a large surface area "sticks" inside the pocket of the vest so the weight will not move from even the most vigorous activity. The flexible nature of FlexMetal means that each weight can bend and contour to the user's body to form the most synergistic fit possible.
In short, FlexMetal® provides a superior fit compared to vests utilzing steel shot, sand or steel bars for weight. This is the vest the pros use. We've sold this item to professional hockey, basketball and football teams; professional ice skaters, ballet dancers, the US Forest Service and fire departments, martial artists, track and field athletes, cyclists, runners and folks walking for better health and weight loss. This vest is chosen by professional athletic trainers and worn by professional, college and high school male and female athletes to maximize their potential.
The driving force behind these outstanding designs is inventor Arnold Cook. Arnold is a brilliant font of ideas and inventions whether it's products for the aerospace, medical or sporting goods industry. A day with Arnold is not a day to discuss business but time to design, brainstorm and gather feedback about existing and new products. Cook has a wealth of technical design experience and a sketchbook full of new ideas for the fitness industry so we expect more new products over the years from Ironwear Fitness.
Congratulations to Arnold, Garrett and the rest of the Ironwear Fitness team for being named Nefitco.com's 2006 Product of the Year!
