I didnt know that there was full a vest or half vest. What does the half vest look like. I think I have a full vest cause it covers everything I could be wrong tho.

I may be wrong on this but I think both vests would cover everything but that the chest vest only inflates and vibrates the chest while the full vest inflates and vibrates all around your torso.

Not 100% on that but that is what they told me when I wanted to get mine and they asked which vest I would prefer.

I have the full vest by the way. It does a good job for me .. I need the percussion on my back as I have many problems with chest pain and congestion in those areas.

I've been asking this question too as I want to know which one to get, from the pictues of them they are different sizes, the CHEST one sewems like it only covers the chest(just below the chest bone where the ribs meet in the midle) and the FULL seems like it would cover all the way down just below where the ribs stop and the oblique muscles are, I'm not sure tho but I need to know which one to get

Hi, this is Ceci, alyssa's daughter. (I'm going to get my own account here soon enough)

I've been using the hillrom vest machine for about 8 months. I have both vests, the full and chest vest. The chest vest has velcro attachments and goes over my head to put on, and it barely covers to the bottom of my rib cage. The full vest I have to put on like a coat and has plastic clasps that click together and you have to squeeze on the tabs to get it to release (the name of them escapes me), and it covers to just above my waist. The chest vest fills in the front only, and the full vest fills all around, front, back and sides.

I prefer the chest vest because the full vest beats the crud out of my kidneys and I get sore. I will use the full vest only when I'm Really congested and sick, but for everyday healthy, I much prefer the chest vest.

Hope that answers your questions!
