    Weighted Vests

    A weighted vest adds load to your torso to make your pull-ups, dips, push-ups, squats and even runs harder, while keeping your hands free.

    An empty vest with 20 or 50 kg capacity

    Also known as a weighted training vest, our weighted vest with pockets is sold empty in two models: up to 20 kg or up to 50 kg capacity. These figures describe the model's capacity, not a starting training load.

    Add or remove steel plates to suit your exercise and level. They are sold separately. Start light and increase gradually while maintaining controlled technique.

    To add hanging weight for pull-ups and dips, also browse our dip belts.

    How to choose your weighted vest

    Capacity

    Start from the load you're aiming for in a few months' time, not the one you use today. The model that takes up to 20 kg is enough to load your push-ups, squats and first pull-ups. The model that takes up to 50 kg is for heavy loads.

    Type of weight

    Steel plates take up little space and let you load more weight. Sand costs almost nothing but weighs less for the same volume: the vest that takes up to 20 kg holds 10 kg of sand. Either way, you adjust the load pocket by pocket.

    Comfort

    On a loaded vest, your shoulders take the weight. Ours has wider shoulders and a foam lining to cushion the load.

    Use

    The vest keeps your hands free: push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats and running. For very heavy pull-ups and dips, a dip belt is easier to load.

    Frequently asked questions about weighted vests

    Is the weight included?

    No, the vest comes empty. You fill it with sand or steel plates. A set of 6 steel plates is available as an option.

    20 kg or 50 kg: which should you choose?

    The 20 kg model to load your push-ups, squats and first weighted pull-ups. The 50 kg model if you already lift heavy, or if you want room to progress.

    Sand or steel plates?

    Plates pack more weight into the same volume: the vest that takes up to 20 kg holds 20 kg of plates, but only 10 kg of sand. Sand is still the cheapest way to start.

    How much weight should you start with?

    A common guideline: start at around 5 to 10% of your bodyweight. Then add load in small steps, once all your sets are clean.

    Weighted vest or dip belt?

    The vest for push-ups, squats, running and circuits. The dip belt for heavy pull-ups and dips. Our guide compares the two.
