I've no personal experience but it sound like their economy line. here's a review I've found "I bought this vest from Everlast direct, hoping to use it for an extra edge during cross-training. To my utter shock, the vest tore apart in the middle of the back, just from trying it on!!. The thin nylon used on the vest is too weak to support the weighted pockets. I wanted to send it back but Everlast won't pay for shipping! Since the vest weighs almost 50 lbs to ship, UPS wanted to charge $45.00 to ship it back.

I decided to fix the tear with some tent-repair epoxy, instead of going through the cost and pain of trying to send the thing back. After curing the glue for 24 hours, the vest was almost good as new...3 days later, while ONLY WALKING with it on, the right shoulder ripped open. WALKING NOT TRAINING!!

After cussing until I was out of breath, I pitched the entire vest into the garbage bin, hammer-throw-style. Looks like I got my exercise for today.

This vest is cheap, ratty, poorly designed and flawed in every stitch. The money that I have lost from this piece of garbage has earned me the right to warn every human being on this planet to avoid buying this or any other Everlast product. I'm going to save my money and buy an XVest, the same vest athletes use in the NFL, NBA and other pro teams. It costs much more, but I learned a hard lesson in getting what you pay for.

No stars, period, good night!"
Just google it for some more reviews if you want, no sense in buying shit.
