Are the weights coated/protected against sweat and rusting?

They do have some type of coating on them, so not just bare metal. If you sweat that much to reach them in their location in the vest then you will probably be near death anyways. I can only imagine them rusting if you left them in salt water.

Yes they are although after 2 years of usage some of the paint of some of the weights, the ones at the bottom, has worn a bit.

The weights have a black finish, but I'm not sure if it would prevent rusting. That's a good question.

They are coated so hard to tell what they are made of. The weight suggest that it is aluminum. If it was made of stainless, I think that it would not be coated

Seems fine. There's no restriction regarding position of the weights. The only thing the manual says NOT to do is drop them. They're fantastic!

Yes the stabilizers are metal but they are covered with cloth of the bandage. I have been wearing my knee brace for the week and wash it on weekends and I have not noticed any rust.

I never read the box, but I've been using them for a couple of years. I've not experience rust, if that's what you're worried about. I gave a set to my friend...no complaints there either.

I believe they are, but I have returned this product due to small pits and rust just after one use, also its very thin walled and base.

I don't *think* so. I'm not sure, but the copper does tarnish a bit, which is what I would expect if they were not coated.

The wire rack is powder coated and it's pretty durable. I've owned mine for almost 3 years and I don't have rust on it yet, but then again I keep my bikes indoors when im home. But to answer the question, no it will not rust easily, but it will rust eventually over time if you abuse it. I do use the rack alot and it has the strength to last and last.

No! I just washed my brand new ones and the steel coating is all gone. They'll still work, they just aren't shiny anymore.

Have run these through countless washes, and never had any issues with rust. Hope this helps :)

I have not had any problems with rust and I own 2 sets purchased at separate times.

Pretty positive they are. I've left mine sitting in the sink for a couple of days in a row with no signs of rust. My old ones would start to rust after just a few hours.

We haven't had a problem with them. We leave the weights in the bottom, so we don't use them too often though.

I think they might rust, but they are metal powder coated. Maybe outdoor under cover would work. I do love mine, but I use them inside.

The legs are coated with a gray coating Mine is kept in a garage and not outside, so I do not know if they will rust.

I'm not sure why that are coated but they haven't rusted or scratched anything. They are child safe and won't pinch fingers or scratch them.

Metal frames are powder coated to resist rust. U Wouldn't leave them out because the joints my rust if water sets In
