Very good quality and great fit, very happy i purchased .
Purchased to provide loading for bone health improvement. Quite comfortable, far more than other vests I’ve used and with the even weight distribution it’s perfect for my needs. I’m 55kg, 162cm in height and bought the 3 kg vest. It’s just right.
Love my Rukvest. It’s really comfortable, and turns a walk into a workout.
I’m using it to train for an 18 day hike next year, and am confident that with Rukvest I will be fit enough.
A comfortable fit and the weight is evenly distributed, so no pulling on the shoulders. The ability to adjust the vest at several points is excellent. Far superior to the cheaper version (different manufacturer) Initially tried.
I gain a lot of benefit towards my running training by walking in and back from work every day to help reset my posture, floss the joints, and release muscle tension. I have seen a great benefit by adding extra weight to help strengthen my bones and muscles, which in turn helps me with injury prevention.
Within 2 weeks of purchase (wearing three times a week for 45-75 min walks), my VO2 has already increased 1.2 points. I was expecting an increase, but not that fast! I would rate this 4.5 the -0.5 because the left over straps when pulled snug rub against arms, so I just loop them in on themselves and problem sorted. The vest does the job, trading in the vest is a great example of circular economy at work and I've already recommended the vest to multiple people
Love this vest! This is my first weighted vest, menopuase meant thatIpacked on a few kgs. Hoping to improve my bone density, fitness and losthose kgs while walking with vest.I certainly felt the pull on some muscles last week.
Eight kilos may not seem like much, until it's cradling your torso. And you'll want that to be as cosy and balanced as possible...like the Rukvest. I reviewed many weighted vests before settling on Rukvest and loved everything I learned about it. Australian-made, the history of its evolution and why, the quality of materials and design...I was a convert to the brand well before buying it. I did have questions about which one would be right for me so I emailed the team and they suggested an 8kg Rukvest. After two 10km+ hikes I can tell you this much: 1) the weight is noticeable but comfortable 2) You will burn more calories and work on your cardio endurance more than ever 3) When you take it off, you will almost float rather than walk. So, for those about to Ruk, we salute you!
This is my husband’s Rukvest. He also has the 5kg one for when he feels like it. He walks miles everyday wearing one or the other and uses the 3kg one in the gym when rowing for 40 minutes and then doing uphill on the inclined treadmill. He used to walk with 5kg of weights in a backpack before I found Rukvest and is going on 90 years of age! I hope this encourages others to try Ruking to build up their strength and stamina.
Perfect fit & feel ~ at 80kgs, the 10% of my bodyweight rukvest is the right amount to still be able to complete workout tasks.
Great finished, quality made equipment , ideal way t put more effort into walking without unnecessary on your body.
Company is easy to deal with which is a big plus
I love my vest! This is the best thing I have brought for myself.
