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.
