If you use a chafe/rash guard with this vest, do you need a full body piece? Will it ride up under the vest if you just use a rash guard shirt?

My grandson wears a regular t-shirt style bras guard shirt under this vest and has no problem with the shirt riding. It does not chafe him or irritate him at all. He loves to wear it and enjoys swimming with it. I hope this helps.

My boys wore this vest with and also without a swimshirt with no problem. The vest has a "tail" that goes between the legs which keeps it in place.

Only a bulky sweatshirt or jacket. You may look like a suicide bomber though. Its also very warm with the added exertion and insulation from the weight vest. If this is something you want to wear in your day to day then this product would not be right for you. It works great over a t-shirt or long sleeved training shirt such as a Patagonia capilene or underarmor base layer.

If u r only running up to 4 miles a day a 40# vest may be too much. It's pretty heavy but works great. U will feel ready to run when u drop it. The problem is that adding 40 that ur not used to May give u shin splints. I'm used to heavy rucksacks so it was fine for me but maybe not for others. A great vest tho

I wear a XXL shirt and needed a XXXL vest so I bought a humvee which I love and fits well. I am a commercial photographer and the humvee works well for me.

I wear it around my waist were it would be on my waist band if i had no shirt, some people wear it a bit higher, i do not recommend wearing it where it is only on skin, there always is slight movement while running aka chaffing!

I believe that it can be worn under your shirt because i wear it below my blouse and i do not wear jackets. It is not bulky at all. I guess i can get away with wearing it because it can be passed off as a broad bra strap but i would recommend that guys wear an under shirt to mask the strap. I hope this helps

Yes. Kinda depends on how tight the shirt is but I used it under my dickies shirts. It did kinda poke out in the front but I wear a safety vest also so It was no biggie. I have a bit of a gut though. Chris O.

Hi Rochelle. This top does not ride up and I do multiple acitivities in these tanks. Running, Spinning, and a lot of Cross Training. You will love these tanks. Super comfy, super pretty, and keep you super dry. Hope this helps!

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

Yes. I didn't want one to restricting. This vest is perfect. Very happy with it.

This vest doesn't ride up on me at all. It's one of the best vests I've had.

You might need someone else to help with this. While you have it on have someone push one of the shoulder straps in towards the front of the vest. Once it is at the desired height close the velcro on that strap. Repeat for the other strap. Make sure you have the Velcro on the shoulders open before you push the straps in.

No, the tank does not ride up. I really like this top from Under Armour. It is great at wicking sweat, and looks good too. I have been working out for years and once I found these tops about 2 years ago at a Sporting goods store and tried them, I love them. It is the only top that I wear to work out now, I have it in many colors. It is nice that Amazon carries them as they are cheaper here than in the stores.

I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

I'm a female, 5'8" and 135-140 lbs. size 8/10. It took me awhile to get the vest small enough to fit me when I'm wearing only a light shirt. No, the vest doesn't slide around, but there's lots of extra strapping/webbing to deal with. I guess I could cut it off, and maybe I will at some point. Also, because I can't get it any smaller, I don't feel like it fits/supports as it should. Tha said, it's way more comfortable than carrying my big camera around my neck or over my shoulder on long hikes. But you'd think for something that costs this much, they'd offer it in small and large!

To answer your question I would say probably not. I am 5'6" tall and the extra-large pair of shorts fall just to the top of my knees when I'm standing. When I'm on the bike the shorts ride about 2 inches above my knee so the shorts aren't long enough to chafe the back of my knee. You could probably hem the outer short but the liner has an elastic band to keep it tight around your legs. I think it would be difficult to hem the liner and possibly uncomfortable to wear it if you did . The liner is about an inch shorter than the outer shorts and depending how much you hemmed the shorts you would probably see the liner if you didn't hem it. I hope this helps you in your decision.
