Reviews
force concentrated
"So, just some background, I have been an officer for nearly 8 years. I have worn a rifle plate many times and an outer carrier every day at work. Having said that, I would much rather wear a heavy rifle plate than wear this. I understand what they were thinking, but the cutout in the center works against them, as does the recess on the bottom crossbar. This, plus the fact that the vertical bars are deeper than they are wide, creates a concentration of force on the pecs and shoulder blades. If they removed the cutout or at least flattened out the frame, it would disperse the force better, but the way it is designed basically maximizes the amount of force placed on points of contact. This makes them very uncomfortable to wear. The larger sizes may be a little better because they are thicker but the 6. 25lb wieght is not the way to go."

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."

Best weight vest ever
"Great purchase, I love the weight distribution it helps me keep good posture. I like how my arms feel free, and the shape of the wight helps with my breathing."

Really happy with the purchase - regret waiting this long to pull the trigger
"I've only got 5 or 6 sessions of road work in with these but loving the challenge thus far. I'm at 190lbs so started with the 20lb all-in kit and its a really nice change up to my walking routine post strength training. Great quality materials so far. I do agree with a few of the reviews that the side straps could be about 2 inches longer. I'm able to strap up with the last 1 inch or so of velcro but afraid that may wear down long term."

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!"

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."

No bounce and no chafing.
"No bounce and no chafing. I’ve worn Army body armor and plate carriers for years. My Go Ruck plate carrier has fantastic weight distribution and feels great while working out in it. Good to go."

Good plates/kinda gimmicky
"Not any more comfortable than traditional curved plates. Price is fair compared to others on the market; but don’t expect the hole cut in the center to allow for diaphragm expansion. . that’s a total gimmick."

Great way to workout
"I have had other weighted plate carriers that used the solid plate. The curved open plate is great upgrade! Fits securely while rucking, running or working out. Easier to move and breathe! Highly recommend!"
