The Swirl is a circle or closed-loop scarf that comes in a variety of colors: clay (pictured), brick, blue, light blue, gray, black, natural, ocean, olive, raspberry, stone, white and teak. Again, people like me who enjoy a slightly tighter feeling when using a weighted blanket or anything else might also be better off going in smaller in size as opposed to larger. If you're in need of both those things, I'd say it's worth the money. However, the sleeve length and overall fit might be a gamble when sizing down for a jacket.Īll in all, I like this jacket and while it's the most expensive item in Pyvot's line-up, it's a good quality coat for spring and fall with an added calming effect. This tells me I do like a snugger fit in my weighted apparel, and I'd probably like this jacket even more in a smaller size. I enjoyed wearing this jacket and did feel more calm and balanced wearing it, but not to the same extent of the first vest I tried. The weight in the Revolution jacket is on the shoulders, the back and the chest, with weightless sleeves and a weightless hood. Strictly style-wise, the jacket was my favorite because it looked like a nice spring jacket I'd keep in my closet and either dress up or down and also wear exercising. Both are $295 and have hoods that aren't weighted, which is a nice touch when you're heading out in fall or spring weather. Pyvot has a weighted Revolution jacket marketed towards women and a twin Output jacket for men. There's a version of this jacket for men. The Revolve Hooded Jacket comes in olive, black and gray. Pyvot also has a vest called the Focus (for women) and Journey (for men) that are similar to the Spark but advertised as an "all-around-town" garment. But having no weight on the shoulders would free you up for more arm movements, if you do like exercising with a little extra weight.īoth the Verve and Spark vests are $245 – definitely not cheap. I didn't go running in this vest, because I've never run with weights before, so I didn't know what to compare it to. Weight or no weight, this is a comfortable vest to wear. But the Spark is designed for people on the move, and it has a stretchy, thin material on the sides. It could also be because this vest doesn't have weight on the shoulders like the Verve. I didn't love this vest quite as much as the Verve, or get the exact same calming benefit, but it might be because this one was a slightly looser fit (I got the size I normally wear). The men's version of this vest is the Dash. In addition to olive green, the Spark vest comes in light blue, raspberry, black and white. Also, while a feeling of constant restlessness could be due to executive dysfunction, seen in people with ADHD, for example, "a lot of it is the body's need to move around or not know what to do with themselves," Hafeez said. "Even though it may be bouncing or shaking, the things outside still seem stable to you." Some people never fully develop this ability, and weighted materials may help. "We're in a car, and the car's moving really fast," she said. What's more, weighted clothing may help people who never fully developed their proprioceptive abilities, an ability to sense our body's movement and the world around it, that Hafeez describes as riding in a really fast car. "The idea is that weight can stimulate pressure points, and in turn decrease anxiety, depression, ADHD, sensory issues." Hafeez said that while weighted apparel has been shown to decrease cortisol or produce serotonin in some people, whether it will work for you is simply a matter of trying it out. "The idea really isn't that it's a blanket or a vest," Hafeez said.
