GGR Score: 4.2
Product Highlights
Rather than sand, steel shot, or ruck plates, the EZ-Vest uses Olympic weight plates for added resistance.
The military-grade nylon and aluminum hardware help bolster this weight vest’s durability.
Larger Olympic weight plates may compromise your range of motion in training, per our tester.
You can load the EZ-Vest across its front or back to a staggering total of up to 300 pounds.

Product Summary
_If you’re looking for a weighted vest to use for more strength training than conditioning (or you’re just an absolute unit that can do Murph with more than 40 pounds on your torso), we recommend the Kensui EZ-VEST Weight Vest._

What our tester says:
__“Although the weight capacity is high, that doesn’t mean it’s incredibly comfortable at those weight increments. Using 45-pound plates on the vest does feel a bit awkward as they can get in front of your chin and bounce a bit.”_
