Why it works on the run
Three things that matter once you're moving.
It stays put
Adjusts snug to the body at the velcro waist belt and the shoulder straps. Set it once at the start of the run. Stays put through sprints, hill sprints and intervals. No shifting mid-run.
1kg at a time
Ten solid iron blocks, 1kg each, in velcro pockets. Pull a few for a longer run. Slot them back in for hills and intervals. It takes seconds, and you can dial it all the way down to zero.
Padded shoulders
Thick shoulder padding so the weight doesn't dig in, and shoulders wide enough to spread the load across your back. One size, fits a wide range. Fits women well.
What it's for
Six ways to use it.
Loaded runs
The route you already run, with the blocks in.
Hill sprints and intervals
Full load for the short, hard stuff.
Rucking and weighted walking
Long walks with the blocks in. No running required.
Conditioning circuits
Jump rope, burpees, box jumps, bear crawls.
Single-leg work
Split squats, Bulgarian split squats, pistol squats.
Weighted push-ups
Push-up volume sets under load.
Pick a weight
10kg for the run. 16kg if you're over 70kg.
A working rule from weighted calisthenics: 15% of your bodyweight is a strong working load. Under 70kg that's the 10kg. Over 70kg, the 16kg with a few blocks pulled for longer distances. You can always run a vest lighter than its max.

Perfect fit
Excellent quality and a perfect fit. I shopped around a lot before settling on this one, and it's been amazing to walk with so far. The weight sits evenly across front and back so I get zero back ache on long walks. Quality material and very strong stitching. No issues at all since I bought it. Highly recommend. I went with the 20kg vest.
10kg
The body weights are really effective — they've improved my power and my speed. They're not too heavy and they're easy to use.
