What type of weight is in the vest? The Gold's gym featured versions with 1lb blocks or sand bags. What type of weight is in it?

There are 24 individual packets weighing about a pound each. They feel like they're filled with sand. Sounds like the same as the Gold's Gym vest. I took out 12 packets to start, to suit my level of fitness. Hope this helps.

They are weighted bags, I'm not sure of the material inside them but I would guess it is sand

They usually sell weight plates at a Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods that you can use. They are only 5 lbs each though. I believe Undercover Canopy also sells a gravity stake system. They attach at the top of the canopy frame corners and use straps connected to stakes.

Its like the standard plastic rectangular weight block that most of these machines have. Not sure what is inside to give it the weight...guessing metal, sand, concrete...or some combination

Yes, you HAVE to fill it with one or the other. Sand is going to be heavier. If you buy the bags at Home Depot or somewhere, have them sit out in the sun for a day to dry out. Mine were slightly damp, and it took about 2 hours to fill the damn thing!!! Even with all this weight, it still practically falls over if you're doing a push kick or side kick or something. Punches, no problem though.

anywhere, there are no weights just for the vest. Where the vest into some sports store and see what fits.

The Classic Cuffs have foam inside for flotation and resistance. These are not a "weighted" item. The actual weight of the product is 1.2lbs.

The weights are evenly distributed front and back. No way will you be disappointed with this vest. So many options to vary total weight too.

I liked the bowflex, but as I never need any weights over 20 lbs (and the bowflex only has a 5-50lb option), I'm getting the powerblock 3lb to 21lb set. Saves me $200

I appreciate your help. You may see another comment/question from me -- please pardon any duplicates. But I saw an Everlast "weight" atop a speed bag platform at Champion boxing and would like to buy that. Again, thanks. Ron

It is an adjustable weight vest that comes with 40lbs of weight. The weight is adjustable in one pound increments and can easily be reconfigured to 20 lbs. I use it configured to 30 lbs. Great vest over all.

Mine is also the Rack Pro. It weighs 30 lbs. It doesn't come with weights but I am thinking of getting some. In the meantime, it is doing more reps. :-)

All of the weights can be removed leaving only the vest itself, which probably weighs two or three pounds empty. Each weight is around 3 lbs i think.

The weight slots/pockets look exactly like the long-style MIR vest that I own. If that is true, the biggest weights you can fit in there are 5 pounders (1 inch variety, as you mentioned) and only 2 of them in each slot. Also, NOT all 5 lb. weights will fit! Your best bet is to take your vest into a sporting goods store and trying adding two 5 lb. weights to a slot.I have to qualify all of this again by saying that I own an older (1 year old) LONG STYLE vest! It just so happens that the slots/pockets look exactly the same in the pics.

Well, the vest uses 3 pound weight increments but yes all the weights can be removed. There is no minimum

The pockets are located along the front and back of the vest. In the photo, they are underneath the folding straps.The weights are made of sand in a strong pouch. They slide easily into and out of the pockets in the vest.

no weights included - just a vest. I bought lead weights at a tire shop nearby.

Yes there is only 1.8 lbs. It is a complete rip off. I accidentally didn't look at the size of the product when I ordered, just the picture. And I couldn't return it either. You can buy it anywhere else for much cheaper.
