The Power WearHouse ProPower Compression Vest for Kids feels like a well-fitted hug that kids can wear all day, from the classroom to the playground to a therapy session. It gives growing bodies the deep pressure and proprioceptive input their sensory systems are looking for, without drawing attention or restricting movement.

A team of occupational therapists with more than 20 years of combined experience designed this vest. They built it on four guiding principles: Choices, Consequences, Consistency, and Compassion. The result does more than work well. It's a compression vest kids actually want to wear, and we're proud to offer it to families, therapists, and schools across Canada & the US.

Sensory Compression Features Kids and OTs Rely On

Picture a busy school morning. The vest zips on in seconds, and the compression level your OT recommended is already set and waiting. Here's what makes that possible:

• Three Color-Coded Compression Lines - Hook-and-loop stitching lines in three colors provide graduated compression levels, so caregivers and healthcare professionals can use the color guide to confirm the right amount of support at every wearing.
• Two Adjustable Shoulder Straps - Personalized compression across the shoulders and torso gives caregivers and OTs fine control over the pressure delivered to the proprioceptive system.
• Wraparound Torso Straps - Two straps stitched to the back center seam wrap around the body and secure to graduated color markers on the hook-and-loop, delivering targeted compression right where it's needed.
• Neoprene Construction - Soft, durable, skin-friendly material wraps the torso in a steady, soothing embrace that feels like a calm hug all day long.
• Front Zipper for Daily Independence - The vest slips on and off without readjusting the compression settings each time, which makes it practical for daily routines at home, at school, or in the clinic.
• Made in Canada - Careful manufacturing means this pressure vest is built to stand up to daily use over the long term.

How a Chest Compression Vest Supports Self-Regulation

Proprioception is the body's sense of its own position and movement. When a child gets consistent, calibrated deep pressure from a chest compression vest like the ProPower, the nervous system receives organized, grounding input that supports focus, calm, and self-regulation throughout the day.

Occupational therapists have long used compression garments as part of sensory diets, which are personalized activity plans that give a child's system the sensory input it's seeking. Because this is a compression vest for the chest and torso with a three-setting color guide, OTs and families can match the prescribed compression level every time it's worn.

Unlike many vests on the market, the ProPower design lets the wearer or caregiver keep, adjust, or check compression without fully removing the vest. That small detail makes a real difference in a classroom or clinic, where every minute of routine counts.

Compression Vest for Autism Support and Everyday Calm

Many families first look for a compression vest to support a child with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences, and the ProPower was designed with that support in mind. It's just as welcome for any child who feels more settled with a little steady pressure. It's a great fit for:

• Children who enjoy calming proprioceptive input and deep pressure as part of a sensory diet
• Families working with occupational therapists to support sensory regulation at home
• Neurodiverse and neurotypical kids alike who benefit from grounding sensory support
• Schools, therapy practices, and clinics building sensory toolkits for children of all abilities
• Parents who want a daily-wear vest that's comfortable, stylish, and easy to use

How to Fit the ProPower Sensory Vest

Start with both the shoulder and torso straps on the lightest setting (blue stitching). Zip up the vest, then reset the torso and shoulder straps to the recommended compression level. From there, the ProPower Advantage lets the wearer slip the vest on and off over the shoulders at the correct setting using the zipper. Or, release the straps and slip it on and off over the head.

Caring for Your Sensory Compression Vest

Hand-wash in cold water with a mild detergent and air-dry. Don't dry it in direct sunlight, and don't store it under heavy objects. Store the vest out of the user's reach when they're unsupervised.
