Side by Side Comparison of: ARD-Champs vs Valeo

If you want to sweat this is the suit for you. I wear this and get on the treadmill for 40 minutes walking at a fast pace. The amount I sweat is doubled.

This sauna suit is amazing!!. I really like using it during my cardio and strength training workout. In all honesty it works better than the everlast sauna suit brand. Although I was doing flutter kicks and it ripped a little, but I fixed it by sewing it. If it rips completely then I will gladly get another one.

Bought this to help me lose water weight and weight in general in order for me to join the army. It works very well, I bought a size larger just in case it wouldn't fit me and it fit almost perfectly. It was a little too big but the velcro straps on the wrists and zipper on your ankles fixed that. It helped keep retain the heat and definitely got me drenched in sweat when I went for morning run. So far it hasn't ripped or anything so that's a plus.

Well, all I can say is, WOW! The suit works extremely well in making you sweat, I mean SWEAT! I also like the fact that the suit helps in retaining heat so that your muscles stay warm. I use this suit during my weight training and cardio afterwards. If you work out a lot, it will help you stay flexible. It's extremely durable, as I am a 370lb, 5'10" weight lifter with a 58" chest, 36" thighs, 22" arms, and a fat 55" gut. I got the 6XL and it fits like a snug glove. I will continue using this suit as long as I am working out.

Thanks Kutting weight for the great product.

This thing does what it's supposed to do! My son is on the varsity wrestling team as well as a seasoned boxer. He's used this on several occasions to make weight for an event. Don’t know how safe any of these sauna suits are, but if you're in a pinch to make weight for a tournament, this will help get the job done.

excelente

Does exactly what it should you need to sweat weight off as you workout, this is the ticket!

I lost more than 8 pounds exercising with this Sauna Suit.

I've been using this

I love the sauna suit. God knows how many i bought. I have another 2 pair home. They are awesome to use in the sauna or run. makes you sweat that sweet like hell... highly recommend. xo

NEVER SWEATED SO MUCH IN MY LIFE I LOST ABOUT 2 INCHES IN ONE DAY! Despite the other reviews i read my sweatsuit is huge and the seams arent going to break anytime soon. I am 215lbs and i bought an XL and its huge on me so dont feel discourage to buy. you will definitely get the results you want very soon

I made this purchase to give to a friend as a gift who is trying to lose weight. He said that its working out well, it makes him sweat profusely when he goes on his walks.

the suit is fine and helps promote sweat when working out or just walking around the house. But if you do not wear something beneath it is extremely difficult to get off once it is wet against your skin. Order a size larger than you need and it is easier I believe.

It's cut small, so you have to order it 2 to 3 sides bigger than what you normally wear. I'm 210 lbs and 5 feet 6 inches wearing normally medium to large, and I ordered a 3XL and it fits great with room to wear clothes under it.

My son start losing weight. So that is the right stuff for detox and lose weight. I will recommend it to other friends.

Love it and really works as well it will make u sweat.The only thing make sure u order it alite bite larger than u normal wear

Pretty good for is price.

heavy duty material, thought it was going to be like cling wrap but much better quality than anticipated.

Completely satisfied with this product. It was delivered quickly and in good condition. This was a better product than expected will consider ordering again in the near future. Thank you.

I must admit that I should be using this more than I do, but I do like it a lot. I normally do not sweat a lot while working out, but I was DRENCHED after 10 minutes in this suit. I felt great, and it really motivated me to continue my workout because I was sweating so much. Apparently it is all water weight, but who cares?! Weight is weight! I would suggest ordering the larger size because it does rip very easily if it is fitted. I would definitely recommend this suit though because it does the job and is A LOT cheaper than the ones you might find in sporting goods stores.

I've used it a few times. Apparenty being 5'4" and 140lbs is too small for this suit. I don't get the full sauna-like benefits since the suit is too loose around my wrists and ankles, but if I wear boots and weights on my limbs I can get the full effect. Damn, I have to wear this outside.

Customer service dept.Dear Sir/Madame: I have recently purchased a Valeo Sauna Suit. I wish to advised that I have been totally satisfy with the results and the product, and share it with the people in the office, in fact they were planning to order when they saw mine, in other words I was a proud customer, I regret to say however and to my dissapointment the product did not last more tha 8 uses each time 1 hour, please be advised that on each occasion thights were use under the Valeo Sauna Suit. To my dismay while i was walking the inner seam came apart about 12 inches on the right and the left side about 4 inches, needless to say I was quite embarrased, I felt a great degree of dissapointment with the product. I'm hoping that through this complain you will seriously consideer a replacement or reimbursement for the cost and shipping.regardsSandra Fonseca

I didn't really test it out yet but even taking out the box i tried it on and luckily I ordered a few sizes up because it somewhat just fit and I ordered two sizes above my regular size

When a person orders a larger size suit, the pants should not be a one size fits all, they should match the size of the suit, not just the length. The suit does the job but not comfortable on the thighs.

It makes you sweat a ton!!! The shirt seems to be true to size but he pants run super small. No way to really win unless you buy two suits of two different sizes which is really a waste of money. I'm getting a good kick out of the shirt atleast!

It does what its suppose to do! Really drenched you in sweat. That being said , this isnt some miracle suit that will make you drop weight on its own. You have to put in hard work at the gym in order for this suit to work! My only issue with this suit is major, the quality. Very cheap. It was good for about 2 months and then the seams ripped down the side and after I sewed it back up the actual suit teared week later.

The product is sized smaller than the size listed. So if you regularly wear a medium, you should get the XL.. The 5XL was not made for a real man that was a 5XL.

Yep

The size is off a bit. I got the L/XL but it fits more like a M/L. The top fit comfortably not to big or to small. The pant however was small and tight around the thighs. The pant ripped within the first five minutes. Besides the wardrobe malfunction it work as excepted to keep my core temp warm and making me sweat more.

Really didn't last long, I usually buy the Walmart brand, but those rip after a few uses. I thought this one would last longer however it ended up ripping as well, and the pants didn't fit like a XL more like a large so I couldn't wear them. I paid more for this than if I would of just went to the regular grocery store. THe quality is all the same.

We use the pants and chuck the top. This is the third pair purchased, all for an elderly, incontinent patient for bedtime use, not for weight loss. The last pair was the only pair that had soft plastic and didn't split apart. unfortunately, we never know if the suit will be the harsh material or the soft. But, it works better than any rubber "romper".

I love this sauna suit when I first purchased it, however this is my third suit. I am only 130 lbs 5'2 and seem to always tear the pants to all the sauna suits I've had by running in them. The bottom tore less that 3 weeks of me using this suit only 3 times. The top didn't seem to secure enough it was a little big.

Size was not an issue for me. I am a small and the small/med. was great with plenty of room. I went to the sauna for about 3 times a week, would come home wash it in the washer machine, even throw it in the dryer for like 5-10 minutes. No problem, till about 3 months later, I guess it was my fault I should have not dry it in the dryer, It got a rip on the front of the jacket, were the buttons are from top to bottom. My pants are still working though.

Too big

Last pretty long but I don't believe is machine washableafter 2 washes it starts breaking apart. So false advertising on that.

This is a great quality suit but way way too big. I ordered per size requirements and it is huge! I have to return it and probably wont exchange as dont know what size would actually fit! Disappointed.

A bit disappointed in this suit. It has some kind of thin rubberized liner that breaks down and started shedding away after the first few times I used it. Little rubber pieces stick to your body and scatter around whenever taking it off.

The top is wonderful. I did not like the fact that the top was large and that bottoms were more medium. The bottoms just about tore when I put them on. This is not good. The top does make you sweat, but I had to put on a sweat shirt over it for that to happen. I really prefer the less expensive brands. They seem to work better.

Cheap material. Rips easily

I was working out and doing some cardio and sweating profusely,I bend over and it ripped between the leg and up the butt area. I was on the beach and it was fall which caused me to get seriously ill.

Pants ripped horizontally as many other reviewers had mentioned. I was EXTREMELY careful with them and wore them over sweat pants and removed the sweat pants to not put stress on the seams. They still ripped. The material is better than most but the seams leave a lot to be desired. For the price they should not be disposable.

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT THINKING IT WOULD BE DURABLE. UNFORTUNATELY WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STRETCH TO WORK OUT THE INNER PART OF THE PANTS RIPPED AND I COULD NOT CONTINUE TO WEAR THEM. I STILL HAVE THE TOP HALF BUT THE BOTTOM WAS NOT DURABLE AT ALL.

I ordered this sauna suit base on some of the good reviews compare to other ones , shipping was fast, the size fits perfect the quality of the material looks strong but is the same like every other sauna suit , I only used two times and the right shoulder ripped out I will not buy again waste of money..

I was given this sauna suit as a Christmas gift. The bottoms split within two weeks of me using them. Thinking it was just me, I ordered another set and a set for a friend. Again the bottoms split within two weeks. I ended up using the set I brought for my friend, and within two weeks the bottoms split. As a sauna suit it does the job, you just have to lose all the weight you want to within two weeks...

I purchased a 4XL sauna suit and it didn't fit as sized... I sent it back and ordered a 6xl thinking I'd have more room... well that wasn't the case, the 6x fit the same in the torso area but the arms were bigger.. and to top it off.. it ripped at the seem on the right side on the 1st day.

Terrible fit, ripped on the first wear.

It was a piece of junk. I asked for 2x size and got it in the top but the pants would only fit a size medium around the waist. I couldn't get it over my hips. So after I had it on I didn't think they would return it so I threw it away. It was a piece of junk. Like wearing a piece of plastic. I wore the top that whole evening and didn't sweat a bit.

Runs extremely small, I usually purchase a 4X so I can have a bit more space when working out, and being a big person, I purchased a 5X and could not even pull it down my chest, gave it to wife and she put it on with a bit of struggle and she wears Large or X large on Stuff like this, so I guess I will have to purchase a 6 or 7X so it can fit me

This suit is super small. I'm a 2x and went big thinking I would just tape if it was too big. I ordered 4x and I'm stuffed in here like a sausage. I bent to sit down and the pants ripped wide open. Even with my spanx under, this stuck to my body like I wrapped up in seran. I just tried to take it off and it caught on my elbows at shoulder level and ripped. Straight to the garbage this goes. I would have been better off buying another 9 dollar suit from Wal-Mart. They made it through a full Zumba class at least and brought a lot more sweat.

If I ordered this item; I got stiffed because I never received it. Must have been a late night purchase and forgot to follow up.

well its bad, only lasted 5 wears and then the pants ripped while in the gym and I had my butt hanging out all the way until I got home

The material is not good at all. I opened the box, put the top on and then put the pants on. As I sat down at my desk to answer an email, the pants ripped. I could not believe it. I am not very big, and the pants were a good fit. The material is worthless. I did not have any problems with the top.

I almost always read reviews before ordering a product. This time the price got me. I ordered this suit and I can be added to the others that stated the pants ripped after wearing them once. Save your money, this suit and seller are both horrible. As a seller you would think after all of these bad reviews they would stop selling junk, but no.

This product was crap. The suit i received didn't look anything like the picture. A friend and I ordered the same suit, so I thought, but I received this flimsy gray suit thing that looked liked something from the 80s. I went a head and put the suit on. It was so uncomfortable due to the fact that there were rubber band used around the neck, arm and ankles. I had to pull the rubber band from around the neck so I could breath. after two workouts the suit started to rip in the crotch. A few days later my friend received hers, which was the correct one like on the picture.

I bought this item and used it for a week before the bottom of the suit got torn when I was taking it off. Material does not stand bending/heavy use and will tear easily. It is my 6th sauna suit. Five of them I bought from Amazon and 1 from Wal-Mart. Amazon's suits are all gone, they last no longer than a month. And I have the Wal-Mart brand for about 6 month and it is still usable (the only problem with it is the size - the smallest is M/L and I need Small). Do not buy this item, it's a waste of money. I would give it 0 stars if Amazon would have this option.
