Presence Over Perfection

Let’s get one thing straight: the best vest is the one that gets worn. Not the one collecting dust. Not the one you saw on TikTok. You don’t need tactical cosplay or gym flex points, you need something that moves with your life, makes training harder in the right way, and helps you show up stronger.

So which vest is that for you? Let’s break it down.

Common Fitness Goals

• Build Strength + Endurance:
  Go heavier, go harder, go longer. You’ll want a vest that scales with you and stays secure under pressure.
• Burn Fat + Improve Conditioning:
  Keep your heart rate up with fast-paced circuits or sprints. You need something light, sleek, and easy to drop.
• Train for Performance + Precision:
  Whether you run, ruck, or do functional fitness, form matters. You need even load distribution and ergonomic design.
• Stay Consistent + Start Simple:
  If your goal is just to move more, sweat daily, and build a habit—you need a vest that’s grab-and-go, no excuses.
