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.

You could wear it under a baggy sweater. Wouldn't recommend it against your bare skin. You would definitely chafe everywhere. It fits snug to your body, but still the weights are about an inch and a half thick. Take into account that the canvas is thick, and then there's Velcro flaps and straps. You are adding a few inches to your torso. Even under a baggy sweater, you would look awkward

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

I prefer the short vest. I'm a wildland firefighter, using the vest in the off season to stay in shape. I definitely like that it holds up to 60lbs, I find that I don't need any more than that for training purposes (the pack test is only 45lbs). It does take a toll on your shoulders after a while but all weight vests of this kind do the same. The MIR vests run a little cheaper than the V-Force and I have never had any issue with mine.

We bought our for an 11 pound chug. (chiquaqua-pug mix) Our chug is very broad through the shoulders, so it can be hard to find vests that fit and don't restrict movement. The thundershirt fit fine and did not restrict movement.

I use these as an undershirt below my bullet proof vest. I don't notice and movement of the shirt and it makes wearing that vest a bit more bearable.

my shoulders got a little uncomfortable until I got used to the vest. you can always take out some of the weights and work your way up. I've found the padding in the shoulders to be adequate, but I don't jog or run with the vest on.

It says you can wear it against the skin....however I choose to wear it over a fitted tank top or shirt...I wear it mostly at night....really tight...and when I wake up my shirt is damp....you are supposed to wear it while you work out or move. I have to say that if you choose to wear it against the skin you will sweat and you will have to wash it...and watch out for the Velcro which does snag some materials.

The way it was sold it's not low ride. I don't know if there are accessories that can make it such. I wear it on a tactical belt so it sticks out a bit. Written on a standard pant belly IMO it would be close to the body but still allow good draw. Now with a vest, I really don't know. A vest could pretty much obstruct anything I would guess.

No, the tank does not ride up. I really like this top from Under Armour. It is great at wicking sweat, and looks good too. I have been working out for years and once I found these tops about 2 years ago at a Sporting goods store and tried them, I love them. It is the only top that I wear to work out now, I have it in many colors. It is nice that Amazon carries them as they are cheaper here than in the stores.

i usually wear a large and got the large vest. it is a trim fit because of the tailored design and construction, but it fits comfortably over a long-sleeved shirt. if you like a loose fit or would wear it over bulky sweaters you might want to size up, but a small should be ample for wear with most shirts.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

I sit most days at work as well as drive while wearing it. You do wear it low, but I haven't had a problem with it slipping up. I wear it under my clothes, not over. If I wear it over my clothes, I found it slipped more easily. You might try watching a Youtube video to be sure you are placing it correctly around your back.

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?

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.

If u r only running up to 4 miles a day a 40# vest may be too much. It's pretty heavy but works great. U will feel ready to run when u drop it. The problem is that adding 40 that ur not used to May give u shin splints. I'm used to heavy rucksacks so it was fine for me but maybe not for others. A great vest tho

I WEAR MINE JUST ABOVE MY HIPS AND I DIP THE BELT LOWER IN TO MY FRONT PELVIS, THEN I WEAR MY OUTER SHIRT OVER IT. Best is to try it in different places and see what works for you, blessings to you, Roger
