This belt is perfect for women who are smaller. I was using a belt they had at my fitness center and it never "felt" right. Now I know why, as I saw 6' tall men wearing the same vest. If you are an athletic woman and other vests have not fit you, please try this one. I am recovering from back issues and the ONLY thing I can do physically is deep water run. I needed a vest that would fit me well, and this one is fabulous. I am 5'3"., 120 lbs., and the Aqua Jogger Fit is the only vest I found that didn't have a lot of padding on the sides. Now I have full range of motion with my arms, something I didn't have with other vests.
I don't care fore the elastic belt, I wish it didn't stretch. In the water, the stretch allows the pad to ride up my back, doesn't stay in place as I would like.
Bought it to take on vacation so I could continue the exercises I do in my Deep Water Aerobics Class. Fits very well (AquaJoggers at the Sr. Center where I take my classes have very stretched out belts!). Also pleased that it is a different color than most.
I heard about aqua jogger from a friend who was recovering from a very bad back injury, she has always been a runner and this is what she used to keep trainning.I never thought about using it until I was diagnosed with shin splints so this came as the first option to keep training but still recover properly from my injury so I have just started using it and it is even better than what I thought it would be! I use it every time I can! if I have something to do after work I go to the pool put it on and work out for like an hour, after I just jump out and take a quick shower but my hair doesnt even get wet so its very practical.It fits great since I am 5.1 and wheight around 110 pds so I am sure the next size would have been too big.I dont find any cons to it ...I really love it!
I use the belt for deep water aerobics. It's easy to adjust, put on and take off, even in the water. It's nice because the belt can be worn multiple ways for a better fit for petite women, like me. The only problem I had was the strap was long and kept getting in my way.
I use this belt for water aerobics class 4x per week. For me it is a good fit but if you are over 135lbs. and taller than 5'4" , better to go with the standard Aquajogger belt
