Force Fitness - Weighted Vest - Ultra-durable and Adjustable Straps - Improves Workouts from Home or Gym

Product Information

There are several types of tactical vests, including plate carriers, chest rigs, and load-bearing vests. Plate carriers are designed to hold ballistic plates and offer protection from bullets and other ballistic threats.

Chase Tactical Double 5.56 Mag Pouch holds two 5.56 mags in a compact side by side panel configuration. Two compartment pouches utilize a bungee retention system, securing the magazine until needed. Bungee retention tabs made of hypalon for maximum grip when pulled, reliable, secure and highly effective. Compatible with all MOLLE/modular webbed systems. Beefier materials—think Cordura, heavy-duty synthetics, and even Kevlar—are much stronger. Weighted vests made with these materials will last significantly longer and can handle much more weight (some up to 60 pounds or more), but are almost always more expensive too. Weighted vests aren’t the end all be all, and I certainly don’t use my weighted vests every day. That said, there is plenty of research that suggests training in a weighted vest may be beneficial. The compact design is meant to keep the weights as close to your body as possible. The closer and snugger to your body the weights are, the less trouble you’ll have working out in the vest. The last thing you want is the weights to be bouncing off of your chest when you’re running.If you buy a vest and you’re finding you still can’t get a tight fit, I’ve heard of people using tape to make sure the vest adheres to their body. Note that the higher the protection level, the heavier the armor plate usually becomes. Some people may opt for as low as NIJ level II (2) protection if they only expect handgun rounds and knives as a threat. My Review: If you’re a woman reading this looking for a vest that is going to fit your build and not to be too heavy, then the Empower Weighted Vest might be the right choice for you.

If you're into functional fitness or even just completing a run as part of your WOD then you're probably thinking what are the benefits of running in one of our vests. Read on to find out if adding a weighted vest to your run will help you meet your goals. The Benefits of Running With a Weighted Vest ExplainedThat’s one thing I love about weighted vests like this that you can’t do with plate carriers. You can easily modify the weight. The only catch is the weights usually aren’t sold separately so if you only buy the 20-pound vest and want to increase the weight beyond that, you’ll have to buy another vest. That’s why I decided to buy a 40-pound vest.
