The SmartVest features custom-fit sizing for your entire team.

First, a sizing chart is completed by the coach. This includes name, height, weight, actual waist size, player position, and if they are starters. You can prepare the form yourself or we can fax a form to your attention. Just fax it back. Based upon the number of vests you are considering, we prepare a suggested sizing chart, indicating the size for each player and a recap of totals by size.

It is important to note that all sizing is guaranteed. Upon receipt of the vests, the coach will simply pull a size for a player based on the suggested sizing chart. Very quickly, you will become comfortable with who fits into what size. e.g.; Dujuan is 6'2" weights 195 lbs and has a 34" waist. His size is a men's Medium. It will fit him like a glove. Brian is 6'5", weighs 215 lbs, with a 34/35" waist. He also is a men's Medium. Jamie is 5'10' , goes 187, with a 34" waist. Men's Medium. The key measurement is waist size. A 38" waist size will require a men's XL. So onÉ... You may discover you need more or less of a size, just size-exchange.

The characteristics of the vest material allow some fit-flex within a size. The unique strech properties guarantee the body-snug-hug. The men's medium will fit 33' to 35" waist sized individuals. You don't want it to fit loosely, it needs to be snug. The Svest has to be a part of the athlete. You want them to focus on technique, form, and execution. Many will just forget they have it on. It happens all the time. And wait till they take it off. They call that a smile of surprise.

Oh yes, the vest is washable (cold water), and just drip dry.

You should feel very confident that a size will fit a variety of players from year to year. Six years of sizing experience allows us to be very comfortable with this process. Remember, this fit is the key to its effectiveness.

How many vests do we need? Good question. This consideration has a lot to do with your workouts. Conditioning workouts involve large groups. Skill position drills will have smaller groups. Consider your speed workouts. It can be used for all movement drills. Footwork, change-of-direction, running patterns, etc. 20-24 vests gives you the most options.

But, let's say your budget allows for 10-12 vests, or you like the idea and want to try one of each men's size(6). If you feel you will put them on your skill (impact) players to get the "bang for the buck"; we'll identify those athletes, get their measurements, and make size recommendations. Purchasing one of each size will allow everyone to work with the vest. Their feedback and training response will trigger future considerations.

Also, SPECIAL PRICING (team pricing) is APPLICABLE for ORDERS of 5 or MORE VESTS. That pricing will also be extended to players who may want to have one on a all-year round basis. A plus for everyone. That player will also be able to take advantage of wearing his SVest during daily activities. (click on Secret Weapon in left link bar) A great way to prepare for competition. He also can use his vest for training in other sports like track or basketball. (Please call for team pricing and quotation.)

p.s. We suggest you go with the 12 lb package. Then order some additional weights for some extra loading you may want to do. Body lunges, dips, pull-ups, pushups, etc. As a reference, most of the college and pro teams order in this fashion. You will be amazed at what a 6-8 lb load will do to a shorts-workout. Start with 4 lbs. It's all about progression.

Call or e-mail with any questions or considerations. Thanks.
