Why We Love It
The Original Stretchy, Comfy Neoprene Vest Provides Weight and Compression
Our founder and occupational therapist Aviva couldn’t find a weighted compression vest for kids, so she designed her own. This vest was our first Fun and Function product and it’s still one of our top sellers. It’s like a reassuring hug, perfect for helping to calm down, focus or cope with sensory overload. The steady proprioceptive input and compression around the trunk are especially soothing for those with sensory challenges. Mesh sides for breathability and comfort. With stretchy neoprene for a snug, comfy fit, kids even ask to wear it.
- Proprioceptive feedback helps to calm down, focus or cope with sensory overload
- Hug-like compression encourages calm and feeling of security
- Adjust compression on sides and shoulders with hook-and-loop closures
- Supports kids and adults with ADHD, sensory integration disorder or autism
- Made by Fun and Function
- Ages 2-Adult
Getting Started
Measurements shown reflect size of the vest. To measure for width, lift arms slightly and measure around the chest.
For a true compression fit we recommend choosing a vest that is 2"- 4” smaller than the wearer’s body circumference. Please note that the vest is meant to be very snug, though it should never be uncomfortable. If a snug fit isn't for you, choose a vest with a circumference that matches the wearer’s body. Note these vests are adjustable, so measurements don’t need to correspond exactly. When in doubt, it’s recommended to size up.
Includes 2 lbs. of weight. Place weights into pockets based on your child's weight and preferences. Additional weights sold separately.
