THE WORLD'S MOST COMFORTABLE WEIGHTED VEST
RUKVEST
Pairs well with
Experience a new level of comfort and functionality with our RUKVEST, designed unlike any weighted product you've encountered before. Utilising innovative weighted gel technology, the vest incorporates a unique iron sand (granular iron) and gel compound that forms its core weight. This cutting-edge design ensures that the vest moulds to your body while providing a balanced distribution of weight. Encased in high-quality lycra, the RUKVEST not only offers durability but also allows for easy maintenance.
How heavy should I go?
We recommend that those new to rucking aim to carry between 5% (if you've been sedentary) and 10% (if you are already training) of their current body weight to start. If in doubt GO LIGHTER.
You can make a light ruck harder but you can’t make a heavy ruck easier. We would rather you kept up with the exercise than give up because it is too hard. Remember, you can always upgrade the weight once you build your strength via our trade up scheme.

Customer Reviews
Very comfortable to wear.
Great product, comfortable to wear
Fast delivery
I'm very happy with my Rukvest. It is easy to wear, sleek, and fits well under my jacket withour being bulky. The weight is centered up high on the upper part of my back which is comfortable and better yet, forces me to stand taller and suck in my core to support my body and the additonal weight. I noticed after 20 minutes of walking that I am standing taller and can feel the muscles in my butt (hello, buttocks, it's nice to know you have feelings :)) and thighs really working. Wearing the Rukvest is a great way for me to habit stack - I can walk and do weight training at the same time. Winning!
Love it
