Commercial quality. Well made. I feel it is just as good as the other top brand benches we have at our club eg Technogym, Matrix etc, but is so much more affordable. All of my order arrived on time and the sales manager was awesome to communicate with. Highly recommend!!!

A commercial-grade weighted vest has the following specifications:
3.1 Quality Materials
The material used to manufacture the weighted vests are of two types: natural and synthetic.
Natural materials include fabrics such as sturdy cotton or fleece. If the weighted vest has no pockets for weights, then the fabric can have 4 or more layers of construction.
Synthetic fabrics used for weighted vests are nylon, neoprene, or Cordura material. Cordura is made from fiber-based fabric technologies used in a wide array of products including military wear and performance apparel.
Cordura fabrics are ideal for weighted vests as they are durable and resistant. To avoid abrasion and tearing of your weighted vest, Cordura is recommended.
