Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Becky, My son uses a Hug Me Vest..or at least I beleav ethatit whta it is called, it is from south paws. It comes in 3 peices, one goes around the chest and then the 1 straps that go over the shoulder and velcor to the chest part. It gives him great imput.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks again to all who replied. I checked out the updated info everyone sent and the one looks so big. I was hoping there was one that would fit under clothes and not be so obvious. Hmmm....I should make a request to abilitations or one of them and see what is in the works. I had one more question - one email stated that the vests should be worn no more than 20 minutes but I'm assuming you were referring to a regular weighted vest and not the type I was looking for?
