Gill PowerMax Weight Vest

The Gill PowerMax Weight Vest adds adjustable resistance to running, jumping, and strength work so athletes can build power and conditioning with a natural range of motion. A stretchable neoprene strapping system secures the vest to the body while allowing it to expand and contract with your normal breathing pattern during exercise — keeping the load stable without restricting the athlete through hard efforts.

Key features & specs:

• Stretchable neoprene strapping system holds the vest securely while flexing with your breathing
• Holds double-stitched 1/2 lb shot-filled weight packets for fine resistance adjustment
• Add packets to build the short vest up to 20 lb (long vest scales higher)
• Short vest (TA1226): fits up to a 40" chest/waist; 18" long x 16" wide; 2-3/4" shoulder straps with 5-1/2" of adjustment
• Long vest (TA1227): fits up to a 57" chest/waist; 23" long x 16" wide; 2-3/4" shoulder straps with 5-1/2" of adjustment
• Adjustable shoulder straps dial in a secure, custom fit

Coach's tip: Start light and add 1/2 lb packets gradually — small increments let athletes keep clean mechanics while progressively overloading sprints, jumps, and bodyweight circuits. Care: Remove the weight packets before washing the shell, wipe down after sweaty sessions, and store the vest flat so the straps and neoprene keep their shape.
