"George Morrison has developed the most innovative strength and condition weight vest to date. Through bold examination of highly effective training principles and extensive practical research he has created what promises to be the future standard of jump vests. Gone are the days of purchasing multiple vests to match different frame sizes. The X-Vest, with its fully adjustable straps, provides a custom fit for every athlete. Whether you are coach striving to take your athletes to the next level, or an elite athlete looking to gain extra steps and inches above the competition, the X-Vest is the only vest to consider.
Our nationally ranked teams and All American athletes find the X-Vest a valuable tool in increasing speed, agility, quickness, and vertical jump capacity. In fact, 10-12 inch increases in vertical jump are common improvements with our program. Our success in improving athletic performance lies in the ability to prescribe specific functional exercises with precise training loads that elicit the highest possible force over the shortest period of time. The XVest provides the means to accomplish this goal. When in comes to enhancing explosive power, I reach for the XVest. It is one of the most important tools in my toolbox. No vest flies higher."
