1.RUKVEST® Works With Your Changing Body, Not Against It
As oestrogen falls, women tend to lose muscle and bone faster, and weight often settles around the middle. Health experts agree: keep moving, add resistance and include weight-bearing exercise. RUKVEST® adds gentle, even load to the walk you already do.
2.No Gym, No Membership, No New Routine
Clip it on for the dog walk, the school run or a lap of the block. No class times, no gym floor, no extra hour. Choose 3kg, 5kg, 8kg or 11kg and build up. If you have osteoporosis, osteopenia, a pelvic floor concern or an injury, check with your GP or physio first.
3.Weighted Gel That Moulds to Your Body
A vest only works if you keep wearing it. The weight in RUKVEST® is a weighted gel built into the vest itself. It moulds to your body, spreads the load front and back, and has no hard blocks or bulky chest pockets.
4.Built on What Works, Not Fitness Hype
There is no magic in a vest. It simply makes regular weight-bearing movement and resistance easier to do consistently. Angelique Clark, a Sports Dietitian who works with perimenopausal women: “I have been so impressed with the comfort and feel of the RUKVEST. The 8kg has definitely added a challenge to my regular walks and my clients are loving it too!”
“I like how it helps with pulling shoulders back instead of being hunched!”
“Working my body better everyday to build more muscle mass ... during my perimenopause phase. Love it!”
“...it's great to be able to go for a shorter walk on a flat route and still get a good workout.”
5.Strength, Posture and Energy Get Visible Wins.
Extra load asks more of your legs, glutes, core and upper back, so the same walk becomes harder work and uses more energy. Many customers tell us they stand taller and feel stronger through the day.*

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a weighted vest safe during perimenopause?
For most women, yes. Start light (5 to 10% of your body weight), wear it snug and stop if you feel pain. If you have osteoporosis, osteopenia, pelvic floor symptoms, or back or joint issues, talk to your GP or physio first.
How heavy should I go?
Around 5% of your body weight if you have been inactive, or 10% if you already exercise. For a 70kg woman, that is 3.5kg to 7kg. If in doubt, go lighter. Ready for more later? Trade up for $80 credit towards a heavier vest.
Will a weighted vest help with perimenopause weight gain?
It can help as part of the bigger picture. A weighted walk uses more energy and works your muscles harder. Results depend on consistency, nutrition, sleep and your individual health.
What makes RUKVEST® different from cheaper weighted vests?
Cheaper vests usually hold loose sand or pellets in pockets that shift, sag and press into you. RUKVEST® uses weighted gel built into the vest, so the load stays even and moves with you. It comes with a 12 month warranty.
How much is shipping and how fast is it?
$15 for 1 to 4kg, $25 for 5 to 10kg and $35 for 11 to 20kg. Orders ship from our NSW, VIC and WA warehouses in 1 to 2 business days, and most arrive 2 to 5 days after ordering.
What does 60 day returns mean?
You have 60 days from purchase to decide if RUKVEST® is right for you. If it isn't, you can return it. See our refund policy for the full conditions.
