Heavy Weight Weighted Vest 1–20 kg

Product detailed description

Universal adjustable weighted vest Heavy Weight 1–20 kg

Description:

Our weighted vest/weight vest/training vest distributes the load evenly and is handmade in the Czech Republic from quality European materials to achieve maximum durability. Thanks to the specific way it is made, the vest is as compact as possible, so it sits perfectly on your body even when running or doing any other conditioning training.

A snug fit and excellent adaptability to your body are ensured by two Velcro straps running around the entire torso, plus — on these heavier variants — two buckled straps on each side. The vest's dimensions and size are universal and suitable for all body types. The weighted vest is designed to boost the effectiveness of any sport, workout or physical activity.

Over the years, the Heavy Weight weighted vest has been through many changes and innovations, with input from professional athletes across all sporting disciplines. We continue to innovate and keep improving and refining our products.

Weights:

The weight of the weighted vest/weight vest/training vest is freely adjustable from 1 kilogram up to the maximum weight of each weight variant. Even these heavier variants are suitable for conditioning training and running, but bear in mind that the heavier the vest, the more you feel it on your body. Twenty one-kilogram weights per pack. 

As the weights, we use a special loose metal filling packed into pouches made of technical fabric, to achieve better adaptability and softness. Unlike the competition, we do not use sand or loose waste material, which is too light and bulky. Nor do we use metal plates or bricks, which are too dangerous and can cause injury. Our filling ensures safety during training and a high level of mobility that you will not achieve with other types of filling.

Option to add more weight later?

NEW! For the heavier variants, you can now buy a top-up weighted vest with the capacity to load up to 30 or 40 kg. However, this is recommended for athletes and non-athletes who know that in time they will want to train with such a high weight. If you have neither that ambition nor the build for it, choose the standard variant, where the weight cannot be topped up. The thing is, the top-up variant is larger, and if you never used its full potential, your training would not be as comfortable as you'd like. For conditioning training involving more movement, it's recommended to stick with the smaller variants without top-up capacity. 

To buy a top-up vest, add a note to your order saying "I want to top up to 30 kg later" or "I want to top up to 40 kg later"

Use for:

Unlimited use of the vest for any type of training: ice hockey (on and off the ice), football, floorball, basketball, American football, rugby, combat sports, athletics, bodyweight exercises, workout, calisthenics, TRX, and both strength and conditioning training. The vest can be used on your body or held in your hand as a dumbbell or weight.

Another huge advantage is the option to buy an empty vest once you already own one. This means that when your vest wears out, or you simply get tired of the old design, you can buy a vest without weights (i.e. an empty one) and reuse the weights from your old vest. This makes your next purchase considerably cheaper. There are various weighted vest designs, or you can have a vest made to order with your own custom design.

• weighted vest 0.5–10 kg  without weights
• weighted vest 1–20 kg without weights
• weighted vest 0.5–10 kg with custom design, without weights

As an ice hockey player, or simply someone who likes to have fun while training, you can glide along with your vest on the slide board — in other words, a skating trainer.

Dynamic exercise is a truly specific form of training nowadays, with some very interesting and effective tools such as medicine balls in various weight variants for jumps, stability exercises, punch training and other types of workouts.
