When it comes to weighted vests, not all fillers are created equal. Many cheaper options use granular iron sand, which shifts, leaks, and breaks down over time. At RUKVEST, we use weighted gel technology (iron sand encased within a stabilising gel), keeping the weight evenly balanced and securely sealed. Here’s why this small design difference makes a big impact on comfort, performance, and durability.

After about age 35, our bone density naturally starts to decline, and that process speeds up after menopause. The great news? You don’t need to become a gym junkie or start leaping onto boxes to support your bones. Small, intentional impact movements (yes, even light jumping!) and a simple tool like a weighted vest can make a difference.

Let’s break down how this works, and how to do it safely, even if you’re not super sporty.

We get it, a “cheap weighted vest” sounds tempting. When you’re just starting out or scrolling online, it’s easy to think they’re all the same. But not all vests are created equal, and the difference between a quality weighted vest and a cheap one can be the difference between progress and pain.
