Do the 3 ice panels come with your initial vest purchase?? Has anyone used it for weight loss?

Mine just arrived today without that ice panels. Luckily the ice pack should be here when I need it with prime but I don't think the vest it worth the cost without panels included.

Yes it comes with the panels. I use it for cosplay and under rigorous heat, it lasted for 3 hours or less. Depending on what you're planning to do for weight loss, the added weight could be useful, but only for a short time.

For weight loss theory, check out "The Benefits of Being Cold" article in The Atlantic, by James Hamblin, 12/28/2014, available online.

Yes the ice panels come with the vest. You peel them off the velcro fasteners place the ice panels in the freezer till frozen hard then put them back in vest and put on the vest. as far is using the vest to lose weight it doesn't make any sense me how you do that or how you got that idea. The vest was designed to help keep you cool. If you want to lose weight you would want to sweat not stay cool.

Assuming you are a warm blooded homo-sapien your body temperature is supposed to stay around 98.6. Your body will burn extra energy to try and maintain this temperature if you subject it to unusual cooling. Might want to start with just turning down your thermostat while you sleep though.

Yes! It comes with a set of panels, 3 in total!! I ordered an extra pair to switch out when the others melt. As far as the weight loss is concerned, how would you use it to lose weight?

Sure thing... We used 2 Igloo 60qt rolling ice chests because of their rugged design and portability (wheels and handle)... The cheaper styrofoam models would probably work too, just harder to transport them from the car to the chemo clinic... Good luck!!

ice packs are included. when the built in packs need to be refrozen you can choose to place other packs under the vest and use the vest to just hold the new ones in place.

I haven't used the lighter versions of this specific weight vest, however people often tell me the vest looks small for 60lbs. Hope this helps with your question.

I'm not sure. I've been eating more salads and juicing, plus more exercise outside since winter has finally left. As far as weight being lost around my middle like it claims and having more energy, I'm not seeing either. I bought one more bottle, but I'm not going to continue after I'm done with it. Just not seeing what everyone else is claiming. Maybe they have a lot of weight they want to lose. I only have 10 lbs and maybe it doesn't work as fast. Not sure I'd waste your money on it. Diet and exercise is the only thing that's ever worked for me.

Yes, the vest holds several 3 lb wieights. They take some effort to remove initially, but onnce you do, they slide in and out snugly.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

Been a while since I purchased it, but yes, I believe it was all there. I never made use of it. Best part was the program worked well in regards to getting in shape. I did not loose weight but that was because I did not change my eating habits.

It's *ALMOST* "one size fits all" *PROVIDED* you are below a standard XL (approximately 47") torso size. Notice I said "torso" and not chest because some people's gut exceeds the size of their chests! There are slightly elastic laces on the sides that keep the front panels attached to the back panel and they can be tightened or loosened to suit. Of course, if you're on the larger side, the sides covered by these laces mean they will remain uncooled by the ice packs. FYI.

Amy, I have M.S. and it is a low impact way of getting exercise. Anything that gets you moving is going to help. I do wish that I had gotten the model with pistons that offer more resistance. That would be even better for weight loss. However if this is your price point I can't think of a better way to go. Good luck!

I use to have that vest and it was stolen from me.. but it will fit you. Definitely a good investment

yes, the ice packs are included with the product. this wrap covers a very large area which is just what I wanted.

That's probably at the edge of it, if you're talking about jacket and bibs. I sat in an ice hut with good heat in my bibs and a sweatshirt and I was fine, but I wouldn't want to have kept the jacket on. Obviously personal tolerance comes into play. It's definitely the best deep cold suit for the money - worth every penny.

There is a chest strap and a wristwatch. The wristwatch is really nice, but it does NOT compute calories properly, so if that is a concern, please don't buy this!! I have been using the Polar FT4 for a long time now and have been happy. I did have to call the company at one point because it wasn't performing at it's best for a while, but they gave me some excellent care tips! Should you decide to go with the Polar HRM, please feel free to contact me again and I'll gladly share my tips :-) Best of luck!!

I definitely have! Slow and steady weight loss but in my eyes, that's the best kind. Easier to keep off. I haven't really changed the way I eat. I've had mine for about 6 months now and I try to pedal every weekday while I'm working. I've lost about 15 which is good for my 5'3 frame. I really only have about 10 more to go. I typically do about 20 miles a day at a level 4 or 5 (I started out at a 3 but have been doing 4 and 5 for a while now). 20 miles takes me around 75 minutes. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! It's so smooth to ride. And if I'm really busy working I hardly even remember I'm pedaling :) I'm sure if you were more disciplined (eating wise) than me you may lose more. This is really the only exercise I do.

Yes to both. The silicone strips are what seems to make it work so well. Its the vest flat iron ice ever owned
