Warranty on workmanship
Covered against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product.
The lock-in system
Doesn't bounce when you run.
A close adjustable fit keeps the load against your body, so the vest stays out of the way while you train.
-
Balance the load
A curved plate sits at the front and back instead of pulling from one side.
-
Lock in the fit
Adjust the shoulders and waist to hold the vest close to your torso.
-
Train without distraction
Run, ruck, or move through a WOD without stopping to readjust.
