Weighted Vests

Weighted Vests

When we created the design for our weighted vests we worked with autism practitioners and occupational therapists in order to create a product which gave the maximum benefit to the wearer.

We have copyrighted our own ‘targeted weight system’ which uniquely places a slightly higher percentage of the pressure on the shoulders and in between the shoulder blades.

Children and adults who have worn our vest found it to be incredibly beneficial and said the extra weight across the shoulders was particularly comforting.

Vests should be 5% of the users weight according to the Occupational Therapy Guidelines.

We also adhere to the Clinical Excellence Guidelines for Medical Device License.

Every vest is made to order and we are there to guide you through the design process, to ensure the choices you make bring the maximum benefit, and happiness, to the the end wearer.

We have three base vest designs; the basic v neck waistcoat, the hooded body warmer and the stand collar style.
