Solis Performance Training gives Power Wear thumbs up

While at the Expo at Timberman I was fortunate enough to meet Pertti Hasanen, inventor of Power Wear, and Regional Distributor Jack Bartoszek. I was first drawn to the stand as I had been crudely using a weight vest in my training routine this past year. I had read articles on Kara Goucher, and her coach Alberto Salzazer. Alberto would often prescribe running with weight toward the end of a workout and or recovery to simulate running on tired legs.

As I always do with something that interests me, is read, and then test it on myself to see how I respond. I enjoyed the challenge and strength, but was disappointed by the discomfort, and the constant need to remove heavy metal shots, to adjust the weight to something challenging and comfortable.

All of those concerns changed when I visited the Power Wear booth. Pertti explained and showed my the weight system which is made of a soft movable component. The shorts are worn in a form fitting material that looks similar to sliding pants, or a football girdle. The vest is also form fitting and looks like a cross between a tri top and a small rafting life vest.

What amazed me first was the comfort. It is not that you do not notice them, but it moves freely with your body. No more jiggling around. Second it is washable, so no more funky smells. And finally the weights are in manageable and appropriate increments. 2, 4 and 8 pounds to supplement your strength and training. Finally they have a version that can be used in the pool, great for triathletes.

I have been using the 4 pound shorts and found them as easy to use on a run as on the bike. Pull-up, no problem it adds a bit more for you to work. We are pleased to announce a partnership program with Power Wear. For your own set of visit our site and head to the Power Wear Link. Enter Code “kcook09” at checkout!
