The 'CrossXvest EVO' weight vest is designed to offer athletes the ability to train more effectively, burn more calories and workout wherever they want. Outfitted with a series of weights, the 'CrossXvest EVO' works by offering trainers resistance while out for a run or practicing crossfit.

The [incorporated hydration system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluidlogic-gpr50) allows wearers of the 'CrossXvest EVO' to wear their water rather than have to carry around a bottle of water. The 'CrossXvest EVO' is purported by the brand to be the world's most advanced weight vest with a bevy of innovative functions to boot. Additionally, the vest can be customized to bear the wearers name for an extra touch of customization.

The 'CrossXvest EVO' is currently funding on [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainprotecting-wearable-device) with a campaign that will run for about a month.
