In years past we have put in group orders for weighted training vests during our Memorial Day Murph cycle. However due to COVID and the sudden increase in exercise equipment and weight prices we ended up foregoing that option.
For those who are interested in picking up a weighted training vest to leave at the gym we have provided you with a few options below.
ROGUE FITNESS Plate Carrier
Price – $125
PROS – Affordable
CONS – Coaches don’t have experience with this particular model so we can’t confidently recommend it.
5.11 Plate Carrier
Price – $260
PROS – Comfortable. Adjustable for all sizes.
CONS – The price tag is a bit high for a piece of equipment you may only use a couple times a year.
Lynx Barbell Plates + Condor Plate Carrier
Price – $145
PROS – An affordable condor plate carrier, coupled with a laser cut plate from Lynx Barbell provides an affordable but durable option.
CONS – Shipping on individual orders can add significantly to the pricing.
MiR Weight Vests (Air Flow Vest)
Price – $145
PROS – Periodic 2 for 1 deals. This vest is machine washable, adjustable in weight in 2 pound increments.
