Frequently asked questions

  • What's the difference between RUKVEST and STRYDR?

    RUKVEST is designed for everyday movement and comfort, ideal for walking, training, and daily activity. STRYDR is a closer-fitting performance vest built for running, HYROX, and functional fitness, where stability and comfort matters.

  • How much weight should I start with?

    Start light, generally 5-10% of your body weight, and increase gradually. RUKVEST's everyday range starts at 3kg, STRYDR starts at 4.5kg for those already training at a higher intensity.

  • Can I wear a weighted vest every day?

    RUKVEST is designed for daily wear during normal activity. STRYDR is built for structured training sessions rather than all-day use, given its heavier, closer fit.

  • Which vest is right for HYROX or functional fitness training?

    STRYDR is built for this specifically, a stable, heavier load designed to hold steady through running and functional movements.

Not every weighted vest is built for the same job. That's why RUKVEST comes in two lines.

RUKVEST is the grab-and-go option, weighted gel technology that moulds to your body, built for the training you're already doing, walking, gardening, the school run, or a proper strength session. No bounce, no digging in, just even weight distribution front and back.

STRYDR is built close-fitting and stable, designed for running, HYROX, and functional fitness training where movement control matters most. It's comfortable enough for all-day wear too, so if you want a performance vest that doesn't have to come off between sessions, this is it.

Both come from the same place: Australian-designed, tested for real training, not just marketed for it. RUKVEST carries a 12-month warranty, STRYDR the same, and every vest in this range is built to handle actual use, not just look good in a photo.
