Flack/weighted jacket

Does anyone use or ever have used a flack/weighted jacket/vest when they run? I've read a couple of articles about it and wondering if this is someone other long distance runners here used and if they found it to help their races and/or to aid in their increased fitness or weight loss.

Considering getting one but dont want to invest in one until I heard some reviews.

Thanks!

    I have read that adding weights while running a longer distance can possibly lead to injury. However, the article I read was referring to leg weights while running. So perhaps the jacket is a different story. =)
