Weighted Vest for Training

The world is full of weighted vests with minimal to no padding on your shoulders — instead of padding, it’s nylon straps digging fighting positions into your shoulders, deeper with every movement. Even though the workout is supposed to suck, the straps don’t have to. To fix this problem, we took our shoulder straps from the Rucker which are the most comfortable on the planet under load, and we sized and contoured them to make the world's best Training Weight Vest. And now we've curved the top corners of the front plate pocket, right where the shoulders and chest meet, to make it even more comfortable while you work out. Problem solved.

Then we made it comfortable to the skin, even when worn shirtless. And we made it compatible with Ruck Plates up to 2x 30 LBS and other training plates while keeping the weight stable even while sprinting.

If you wear body armor and a uniform in your profession, thank you for your service. Scale up the weight with our adjustable weight vest and train heavier than you fight. If you’re gonna do MURPH this and every year, make it count.

Reviews

Good, but. . .

"The shoulder straps are comfortable and the quality of the vest is good, but it really doesn't make sense to put all the weight on the shoulders. Most of the weight should be placed on the hips/waist, with shoulder straps primarily there to stabilize it, like it is with big backpacks."

— Christopher J. (3/5)

Excellent product

"Excellent product & Service 100/100"

Higly reccomended

"Got tired of push up sessions that were taking more and more time. Adding the weight vest humbled me, made for shorter sessions while at the same time increasing strength. Enjoy running with this vest more than using the ruck too."

— Mike M. (5/5)

Q&A

Are these one size fits all? Or does it come in different sizes?
One size fits all
Hi there - does this vest come with weights or do you have to purchase them separately? If you need to buy the weights separately, do they come less than 30 lbs? Thanks
Yes, the Ruck Plates are sold separately. We have 10LBs and 20LB Plates for the Training Weight Vest.
Is this the best only and plates are bought separately?
Yes, the Training Weight Vest is sold separate from the Ruck Plates
I'm looking for a vest for Murph; does the Training Weight Vest have pockets on the front and back? And can you put a 10# plate in each?
Yes, there are pockets in the front and back that each fit a 10lb plate.
Hi, I used my weight training vest this morning, and it got a little soaked from sweat. Would letting it dry out and applying a common water repellant like Scotch Guard or similar spray help increase the life span of the material? Thanks.
The 210D and 500D Cordura material has been rigorously tested and should hold up fine on its own, however you are free to add any other repellants if that is your preference.
