Body Weighted Vest

Channel calming proprioceptive input on the go with our body‑weighted vest designed for sensory integration and self‑regulation. Unlike traditional workout vests, this therapeutic garment wraps snugly around the torso to provide evenly distributed deep‑pressure input that can improve body awareness, modulate arousal and support focus for children and adults with sensory processing differences. The vest is made from durable yet breathable oxford fabric lined with mesh to prevent overheating, and adjustable side straps ensure a comfortable, secure fit over clothing or a supportive tank.

Removable weight packets filled with iron sand allow you to customize the vest’s total weight (up to approximately 17 lb) according to occupational therapy guidelines—generally about 5–10 % of the wearer’s body weight. The front zipper and wide shoulder straps make it easy to put on independently, while small pockets provide space for fidgets or timers to enhance on‑task behavior. Because the weights sit close to the body, wearers receive continuous deep‑pressure stimulation without bulky bulk; vented channels let air circulate to reduce sweat during active play or therapy sessions.

Use the weighted vest as part of a sensory diet at home, school or clinic: wear it for 20‑minute intervals to increase focus during seated tasks, provide calming input before transitions, or support core stability while walking. Always consult with an occupational therapist to determine appropriate wear time and weight. Includes one adjustable, washable vest and a set of weight packets.
