POWERHANDZ—a Black-owned business dedicated to turning up fitness intensity for active consumers—boasts a performance-driven workout body suit that weighs approximately 10 pounds. The performance-driven product is ideal for any type of training.
POWERHANDZ used neoprene as a main material with a variety of rubber weights woven directly into the fabric. This means that even if you wanted to, the weights are not removable. The individual weights range "from 1.25 lbs on the upper body to 2.5 lbs on each thigh."
The workout body suit also has a number of features to enhance the comfort of the wearer. For one, the meshed torso delivers more air circulation. There is a built-in microbial feature "to protect against fungus building over time." The moisture-wicking properties of the fabric also help it dry rapidly.
