If you use a chafe/rash guard with this vest, do you need a full body piece? Will it ride up under the vest if you just use a rash guard shirt?

My grandson wears a regular t-shirt style bras guard shirt under this vest and has no problem with the shirt riding. It does not chafe him or irritate him at all. He loves to wear it and enjoys swimming with it. I hope this helps.

My boys wore this vest with and also without a swimshirt with no problem. The vest has a "tail" that goes between the legs which keeps it in place.

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

I wear mine underneath clothing without a problem. I don't have directly on my skin though, I wear a T-shirt or Termal top and then put the Body Rite on over it. Love this this thing to bad I did not find this years ago. Best 30 Bucks I ever spent!

I always wear a swimsuit top under mine. I would not wear it without some kind of bra top. It is like wearing a compression fit UnderArmour shirt.

You can wear it under clothing, as long as it's loose. I also dropped the shoulder down so the top weight is on the upper abdomen, which helps.

If your vest is for suty use, I would say don't use this holster. The retention isn't good enough. It can't be set up for low ride either. I use a CR speed belt for IPSC and it is fine when I use my chest rig for carbine. I am not law inforcement, but this is what my law enforcement guys comment. I also don't use the paddle version. I use the belt loop version.

Hi, my lab is a lean 70 lbs. He dosent have a big chest. And I feel like there is barely enough Velcro to hold it. It does work for him but I don't like the metal loop the Velcro belt passes through on the front harness. It's in a area with a lot of movement and I feel like it should be more streamline or relocated. All that being said, we do use it quite often. I have not noticed any sore spots caused by the harness. And he dosent seem to mind wearing it. Loads must be perfectly equal on each side or the harness will sag to the heavier side. Hope this helps

You can wear it alone or with a simple tank top underneath.. If you're a small order a medium if medium than large. It has to be a size larger because it will be skin tight. I only had to use it for a month and half , I've lost 25-30 pounds. You're welcome!

You might need someone else to help with this. While you have it on have someone push one of the shoulder straps in towards the front of the vest. Once it is at the desired height close the velcro on that strap. Repeat for the other strap. Make sure you have the Velcro on the shoulders open before you push the straps in.

I only wear it for exercise and long walks. I have tried wearing it under my clothes and i am not a fan. Its causes even more sweat. On top of clothes it might cause the clothes to bulge but it doest reallyy matter if you wear your shirt over it.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

Not at all. There are two clamps on the front lines of the vest that tighten it down, and the reflective belt fits snug up against your body, so no bounce. Just order your size based on your measurements.

Yes you can wear this under your clothes. Be sure that the belt covers your belly because if it does not then the sweat will roll downward and will be shown.

I think you can wear it under a loose fit shirt but not slim fitted shirt because the straps are well padded. It will even make you look good on the shoulder muscle like you worked out a lot lol. It doesn't seem to contain metal. It's all fabric except the ring in the back seems to be hard plastic. A tip for you: some people say it's hard to put on, NOT TRUE. Try turn it up side down when you wear it. It works the same. This works very well for my husband, effective yet comfortable...until one day he got lazy and left it in the corner. So if you decide on buying it to help with your posture, do yourself a favor: try to stick to it. Good luck!

I can't answer this question because I can Not recommend this vest. I loved how it fit snug to your body, but after using it only 10 times it was already ripping at the corner of the weight. To the point I almost lost one weight. They needed to round their edges and coat the weights. That's a lot of money for 10 days of wear.

I do Karate here so its the same... keep it short - NO. It won't keep you cool. Sorry to say, it feels good on your skin, it won't feel so good under such a heavy garment... Plus, it will ruin this shirt... Live with your sweat, make peace with it, love it :) No need for anything under your gi. If you do want something, get a sleeveless top, but this this, its not as tight as one expected. Its good for jogging out showing off your body. If you want to keep 10 degrees cooler take some ice cubes. or spray yourself with that ice cold spray for injuries. If you want to wick sweat better, look for outdoor/hiking tops, they tend to wick much better than UA. I also tried Columbia's COOL ZERO or whatever its called, wasn't tight enough. Go to the shop before you order online, you will get the feeling yourself... Hope it helps. Again, this is one awesome shirt to wear without anything above it. I forgot to mention - AVOID COTTON! Unless you want to be weight down by all your sweat which might make you feel a bit cooler - since you're wet.

Nope. The standard 10x12 fits nicely. This vest was designed to not "ride-up" while seated. The downside is that it leaves your belly unprotected.
