Strata™ Weight Vest and Plates

A weight vest adds extra resistance to your training, making bodyweight exercises more challenging and effective. Whether you're doing push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, or running, wearing a weighted vest increases the intensity, helping you build strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. Many HIIT workouts incorporate weight vests to push athletes further, improve stamina, and simulate real-world load-bearing conditions for military and tactical training. They're also a great way to add competitive edge to training — using increased resistance to push limits and spur performance in both group settings and individual challenges. If you're looking to level up your workouts and maximize results, a weight vest is a simple yet powerful tool to enhance your performance.

Every person will have their preferences on how they like to wear them. Most common preference is tight enough to stay snug to your body, with the front as high as the top of the sternum.

A weight vest can be used for any bodyweight exercise, adding extra resistance to help you progressively overload your muscles and build strength. You can enhance movements like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, dips, and even activities like stair climbing, hiking, and walking. By adding weight, you challenge your muscles further, accelerating progress and improving endurance.

If you are unsure how heavy you should start, start light and work your way up to a heavier weight plate as you continue training.

The Strata™ Weight Vest itself weighs 2.3lbs. When the vest is paired with precision weight plates, it brings the total weight up to the required competition standards.

Both the 7lb and 10lb pairs meet or exceed the minimum required weight before the vest is added, for women and men respectively, so they can be used in competition without risk of being underweight.

Not all, but they will fit most weight vests designed for steel-cut weight plates. If your vest accommodates standard steel weight vest plates, these should fit. The 10lb pair measures just under 10"(W)x11.5"(H)x0.5"(D).

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the surface. For tougher odors, lightly wipe down with a mix of water and white vinegar, then air dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash or dry your weight vest. Machine agitation and heat can damage the fabrics, and internal foams.
