A Vest is Only as Good as Its Plates
And ours are the best. The purpose of a weight vest was never to make it hard to breathe. We cut a hole in our plates to take the weight off your diaphragm, improving breathing during tough workouts and recovery between sets. The cutout, as well as the contoured design, also makes the vest a whole lot more comfortable.
Built for Movement
We build our vests with rucksack-style straps, because thin, unpadded straps digging into your shoulders is painful and unnecessary. Meanwhile, the swimmer’s cut and lowered neckline of the plates add freedom of movement and range of motion to create the best weight vest for the most dynamic exercises. You're no longer in danger of breaking your chin doing kipping pull-ups.
Features
Your Essentials within reach
Keep your phone or keys handy with the Rucking Weight Vest’s magnetically-enclosed Quick Access Chest Pocket.
easy in, easy out
Small handles on the cummerbund straps allow for easy release without adding weight or bulk to the vest–just utility.
Don't Break your Jaw
The lowered neckline protects you from getting bashed in the chin during pull-ups or box jumps.
