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. 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.

Rucking amazing
"I had a weighted vest but it was uncomfortable and moved all over the place. This vest is like wearing a vest, secure comfortable, fantastic. Yes you can buy cheaper, BUT, you’ll wear it once and under the bed it goes. I bought this in Jan and have used it every week once or twice at least."
— Sam P. (5/5)
Terrific vest - pup approved!
"This is a great vest. Comfortable on my long rucks with friends (human and canine). The plates are secure and the vest stays put even when 350 pounds of great danes start tugging."
— Kirk B. (5/5)

"Unless they provide some or all of the weights then you’re just buying a very expensive vest that is useless without them."

60lb combo is a no go
"if you have a bigger chest, this will be the most uncomfortable vest on earth. the quality is nice. straps are comfortable. but with pecs in play, if you make it tight enough to be secure, you’ll have to just plan on taking as short of a breath as possible. shallow breathing while exercising is definitely not what i would consider ideal. it may just be the 30lb plates. i feel like if the weight was distributed differently, in several different pockets or something, it would allow for more flexibility and make it so your body can get oxygen into your lungs. or possibly a curve to it or whatever…idk i’m not a designer obviously, im just experimenting with different companies. i’m not sure if i should even leave this comment because it’s negative, but here it is… this as a 60lb vest is horrible and will likely collect dust in my garage. if someone is going to go with this brand of vests, i would highly suggest only using lighter plates."
