When we first started talking about creating a weighted vest, it wasn’t about specs or flashy features. It was about people—about moving freely, without frustration, whether in daily training, strength building, or gentle recovery walks.
We remember sitting together, taking apart every vest we could find, and feeling the same disappointment over and over again. They were hard to put on and take off—especially the heavier ones with over-the-head designs. They bounced and shifted with every step, fighting against the body instead of moving with it. And worst of all, after just a month or two, the sand fillings began to leak. Sweat built up. Odors lingered. It didn’t feel like something you could welcome into your life every day.
The breakthrough began with adjustability—not just a token strap, but a complete system. Most products only offer basic waist adjustments, which provide some stability but can’t prevent bouncing or discomfort. During our testing, we realized that an ill-fitting chest and shoulder area caused the most discomfort, especially for women, leading to friction and irritation. So we developed a patented shoulder and chest adjustment mechanism, ensuring a snug, secure, and comfortable fit for every body shape.
We redesigned the shoulder mechanism again and again, until it finally clicked. That satisfying sound meant a secure, custom fit. Paired with a simple waist adjustment, it lets everyone feel stable and supported.
Then came the heart of the vest: the weights. We refused to use cheap sand. We tested more than 300 blends before finding a formula that was stable, durable, and kinder to the planet. The day we found the right balance, we knew we had created something that would last.
And the zipper—choosing it over the old over-the-head design felt like a small rebellion. But it mattered. Fitness should never feel like a struggle to get started. It should be accessible, welcoming, and part of your life.
Our favorite part was testing—not in a lab, but with real people: coaches, grandparents, marathon runners, first-timers. They weren’t testers; they were co-creators. Every stitch we changed, every buckle we softened, was because of them.
We also made the vest washable, because sweat is part of the journey, but odor and grime don’t have to be. Fresh gear means you can keep moving, season after season, without hesitation.
This vest is a piece of us. A promise made tangible—to respect your time, your body, and your journey. It’s not perfect because it’s flashy. It’s perfect because it’s thoughtful. And it’s here to stay with you, as long as you need it.
