This past Saturday, we had an incredible time at the So Hot Right Now event at the Sydney Opera House! As silver sponsors, we set up shop with RUKVEST, our weighted vest designed for active recovery, and the response was amazing. So many people stopped by, tried one on, and loved how comfortable it felt.

Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Kelly Casperson are Fans!

One of the biggest highlights? Dr. Mary Claire Haver—renowned menopause expert and founder of The Galveston Diet—was spotted wearing RUKVEST and was seriously impressed. She, along with Dr. Kelly Casperson, both commented on how incredibly comfortable the vest is, which was a huge win for us! Dr. Haver, who is all about strength and longevity, loved how RUKVEST can help women maintain muscle and bone health during menopause and beyond.

An Event Full of Energy

With 2,500 people in attendance and even more tuning in online, So Hot Right Now was a powerhouse event, bringing together experts, real talk, and game-changing insights on menopause and women’s health. We were thrilled to be part of it and connect with so many people who are passionate about movement, strength, and feeling their best.

What’s Next?

If you stopped by our stall, tried on a RUKVEST, or had a chat with us—thank you! We loved meeting you and hearing your stories. And if you didn’t get a chance to grab a vest at the event, don’t worry—you can check them out here anytime.

This is just the beginning. We’re pumped to bring RUKVEST to more events, keep the conversation going, and help even more people discover the benefits of rucking.

Stay tuned, stay strong, and we’ll see you at the next one! 💪🔥

Choosing the Right Weighted Vest Filling (and Why to Avoid Granular Iron Sand)

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.

Stronger Bones for Life: How Weighted Vests + Small Jumps Can Boost Bone Density

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.
