If you've done a complete jump training program and your vertical jump has stabilized, do it again with a 15 pound weight vest and you're gonna see results when you take that vest off.

Well, there's a big difference between doing a resistance program with a weight vest, adding weight to your core and using ankle weights which put unneccessary strain on the joints. Another issue is they're 'unsprung weight' for lack of a better term. They add weight away from the weight you're pushing.... there's a better way to put that, but I'm tired and it's as good as it gets now.
