Ballast Hoodie
1.5 pounds, evenly distributed. That's the whole idea.
Most weighted apparel puts the mass in one place and calls it done — a lump across the shoulders that you stop noticing in ten minutes because your body adapts to it. Ballast distributes 1.5 pounds of micro-bead weighting through a quilted yoke that runs shoulder to mid-back, so the pressure stays even and stays present. The shell is 480 gsm brushed fleece. Total garment weight, size M: 3.4 pounds. We'd rather tell you the number than describe the feeling.
- 1.5 lb distributed weighting — micro-bead fill, quilted channels, shoulder yoke to mid-back
- 480 gsm brushed fleece shell — heavyweight, enzyme-washed, pre-shrunk
- Total mass 3.4 lb (M) — printed on the label, not just the website
- Double-layer hood — holds shape, doesn't collapse flat
- Reinforced shoulder seam — because weighted garments fail at the shoulder first
- Machine washable — weighting sealed in channels, no removable inserts
Made for: deep pressure the way occupational therapists describe it · sitting still when sitting still is hard · anyone who's read every hoodie description and still doesn't know what “slightly weighted” means.
