Every year about this time we sit back and review the products in our catalog to determine which product is named our Product of the Year. For 2006 the clear choice is not a single product but a family of products from Ironwear Fitness. Ironwear Fitness is the designer of the Ironwear Uni-vest Weight Vest, Hand Irons Hand Weights, UnderVests and Uni-Vest Weight Pants. Common to all these products is the patented FlexMetal® weight. FlexMetal® is a proprietary blend of rubber and metal that form a pliable, flexible weighted material. With these properties the FlexMetal® weight can be molded into an ergonomic shape in the case of the Hand Irons or used as a flat weight that molds to the contours of the user's body as used in the Ironwear FlexMetal® Weight Vest.
The driving force behind these outstanding designs is inventor Arnold Cook. Arnold is a brilliant font of ideas and inventions whether it's products for the aerospace, medical or sporting goods industry. A day with Arnold is not a day to discuss business but time to design, brainstorm and gather feedback about existing and new products. Cook has a wealth of technical design experience and a sketchbook full of new ideas for the fitness industry so we expect more new products over the years from Ironwear Fitness.
Congratulations to Arnold, Garrett and the rest of the Ironwear Fitness team for being named Nefitco.com's 2006 Product of the Year!
