Abstract: A weighted vest capable of comfortably conforming to the body of the wearer. A top loaded vest is provided which extends over the wearer's thorax but terminates entirely above the wearer's abdomen so that full body movement is permitted and breathing is not restricted. Stretchable shoulder harnesses, or straps, are utilized so that the vest is supported comfortable on the shoulders of the wearer and so that the vest can conform to the body during various full range body movements. A pair of securement straps gird the wearer's chest to ensure that the weights and vest do not bounce or shift during exercise.
