The purpose of a weight vest was never to make it harder to breathe. We cut a hole in our plates to take the weight off your diaphragm and give you some breathing room. This means better breathing during tough workouts and better recovery between sets. Then we added the swimmer’s cut and lowered neckline with movement in mind for the best weight vest for the most dynamic exercises. We finished the plates off with a powder coating to combat rust and stand the test of time.

The plates are compatible with our Rucking Weight Vest ONLY. They’re sold in pairs for total weights (with the vest) of 14, 20, and 30lbs.

Curved Ruck Plates may ship separately from the rest of our gear. Curved Ruck Plates can only be shipped in the United States (all 50 states). Orders containing Curved Ruck Plates cannot be expedited.

Reviews

Perfect from delivery to execution

"Great purchase. The plates where delivered in perfect condition. Box held up perfectly. The weights took some effort to put in new vest but fit super snug. No bouncing around and vest was amazing. Been on three rucks and can’t wait to put more hurting on the equipment."

— Efrain F. (5/5)

Love this weighted vest!

"These fit beautifully! The most comfortable weighted vest I’ve ever used. The weight distribution really makes a difference. The weight stays put and doesn’t shift while you work out!"

— Jessica N. (5/5)

Comfortable and ergonomic weight vest

"I use this to do a HIIT work out in the morning. It lets me perform burpees, man-makers, pull-ups, sandbag tosses, AirBike, kettle bell swings and bear crawls without any issue or abrasions to my under arms. Highly recommend. I would only suggest creating a better standardization for sizing as medium was almost a little too small for me."

— Jared C. (5/5)

Solid vest

"High quality material, feels durable as it should for the workouts this vest is gonna go through. Curved plates feel better and are more breathable during those intense workouts."

— Joshua D. (5/5)

Vest is comfortable and practical

"First time wearing a vest but love it. Shoulder straps. are robust and it is easy to adjust. The only think I don't like is that I will occasionally jab myself in throat. Its probably part of the learning curve just like getting in and out of a car with it on. Wish I would have bought it sooner."

— Brett S. (5/5)

Great weighted vest!!

"What an amazing product, built to last. I’ve used it about 5 times and the fit and comfort for rucking is fantastic! It’s a bit pricey however I can see that it’s made to last a LONG time!"

— Michael G. (5/5)

I like it overall. Its

"I like it overall. Its the first time i go running with weight on. Its good and I felt the extra strain on the legs. One thing I am not able to find solid information on is how to clean it, and what is the recommended method and frequency. Because I live in warm climate (currently temperatures around 100F at night when I run) and this thing gets wettt. So would really appreciate it if could get some guidance from you guys. Thanks"

— Yeshi G. (5/5)

Like the added weight

"Definitely like the added weight. The weights were pretty tough to get into the carrier. It seems the top gets hung up leaving a tad too much at the bottom exposed when putting them in. I believe the top 2 post need to be just a tad shorter for an better fit."

— Thomas B. (5/5)

Gotta keep Rucking

"It’s going great on the slow and steady pace can’t wait to building up in the process."

— Charlinda W. (5/5)

Great quality but small

"Made well! Big fan! Seems like it will last a long time. Sizing is a bit small. I got the biggest size available and it really is a squeeze to get in."

— Andrew L. (4/5)
