Unlike hand and ankle weights, weighted vests can distribute the weight more evenly across the body. Of course, you can still go the distance without leaving your home, as weighted vests are beneficial when training on a treadmill. I was able to access my running app within seconds or conveniently skip a song on my playlist without grinding to a halt. Add a weighted vest to your running workouts and you’ll take things to a whole new level, improving your fitness and burning more calories.

As much as we want you to reap the benefits of running with a weighted vest - your safety is more important to us. But it looks smart (in a slightly dorky sort of way), feels robust and breathable, and is the most convenient solution I’ve so far found to the problem of using a phone while running. In hot weather, the pouch covering gets damp from sweat, and this moisture can cause bumps against the runner’s chest to be interpreted as taps on the screen.I’ve tried various items from different collections and again, there is nothing I can find to complain about other than i now want it ALL.

You can adjust the straps on either side to ensure you’ve got a snug fit that doesn’t constrict your breathing. Unclip the snap fastener at the top and the pouch swings down so you can view the screen through a plastic window, which also allows you to use the touchscreen. If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s probably wise to not go straight in for a run with a weighted vest. The best product I have ever bought for running and training, no more sagging bum bags, no more full pockets, everything is in one place with the freetrain vest, and so comfortable to wear, living in wales I usually get caught in heavy rain down pours, and everything is bone dry when you take it out. We can confidently say that the pouch will fit 99% of modern phones, the product comes with a phone adapter case to make sure your device has a snug fit preventing phone movement whist on the move.

Whatever they’ve made this sheet from, it works well, and I had no trouble using the iPhone’s touchscreen.
