Fun & Function Kid's Weighted Compression Vest

Imagine one, big, wearable hug. Here it is–the weighted compression vest that encourages the big trifecta of calm, focus, and concentration for learning. And it looks weigh-cool, too! There’s a soft neoprene shell for comfort (think deep-sea divers), air-conditioned mesh sides and pockets to place adjustable weights. For kids and adults alike, the deep pressure and balanced weight are gentle, calming and reassuring. Easy-on, hook and loop closures on sides and shoulders make size adjustment a snap. You place weights in the safe, closed pockets–add, remove and adjust as you’d like. *NOTE: Additional Weights sold separately. The xx-small and x-small vest can hold up to 4 lbs., the small vest can hold up to 5 lbs., the medium and large vest can hold up to 9 lbs., and XL vest can hold up to 12 lbs. However, weights should be carefully and gradually adjusted for each person's needs. (5% of total body weight is a common standard. The total should never exceed 10-15% of total body weight.) Ask your occupational therapist about weights and wear times for best results.
