Why HEFT

Stop counting easy reps.
Add weight.

Push-ups in the garage. Squats, step-ups, loaded carries. Heavy adds resistance to the exercises you already do, without a separate plate order. Set the load for the exercise, then get on with your set.

01

Twenty-four pounds, minimum

That’s the vest with every pack removed. Heavy is for people who already train with load.

02

Eight packs. All yours.

Set it anywhere from 24 to 40 lb in 2 lb steps. No extra purchase to reach forty.

03

Core stops at thirty-two

For $30 more, Heavy gives you two more packs and eight more pounds at the top.

How it works

Three steps. No manual.

1

Unbox

All 8 2 lb packs are already in the waist band. Nothing to order, nothing to assemble.

2

Cinch

Clip it on over your clothes. Adjust the side buckles and check the fit before you start.

3

Add two pounds

Packs out: 24 lb. Add one pack when you want more resistance, up to 40 lb. You choose the load.

Before you buy

What’s in the box?
Will it fit?

The full 24–40 lb range. All packs included. Here’s the fit, shipping and return information.

Compare the three weight ranges →

What's in the box

Vest with 8 × 2 lb packs (all installed), mesh storage bag.

Weight range 24–40 lb, in 2 lb steps. Shipped weight 41 lb.

Will it fit me?

One adjustable size, black. It's a harness worn over your clothes, not a fitted garment: padded shoulder straps cross at the back, the adjustable side buckles pull the waist band in to your frame — from petite to XXL. Fits a t-shirt, a fleece or a rain shell underneath. Not sure it'll sit right? Wear it for a month and send it back if it doesn't.

Shipping & returns

Free standard shipping in the contiguous US through Oct 31 (normally $4.90), from a US warehouse. At your door in 3–5 business days. No Hawaii, Alaska, PO boxes or APO/FPO.

30-day walk test: wear it on the walks you already take for a month. If it isn't on your body most mornings — or for any other reason — send it back for a refund of the purchase price. Return shipping comes out of the refund unless the vest is defective — it ships at 41 lb, and we're not going to pretend that ride is free. Swapping up from Light? We waive the deduction. Returns go to Tustin, California, not overseas.

90-day defect replacement: seam split, buckle fail, pouch leak — we replace it, free.

Materials & care

Neoprene shell, double-stitched weight band with slide-in pockets, sealed iron weight packs, reflective stripes on the shoulder straps and the waist band, mesh phone pocket, side-release buckles.

Pouches out, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, hang to dry. Don't machine-wash, don't submerge the pouches.

Gets used in the garage

Mostly step-ups, lunges and carries in the garage. The nice bit is changing the load between exercises without taking ages over it. I'll pull a couple packs for lunges, then put them back for carries. I was worried the pockets would be fiddly, especially once I was sweating. They've been straightforward so far. I don't time how long it takes, but it's quick enough that I bother doing it instead of leaving the same weight in for everything.

Push-ups got harder

Bought it for push-ups. All the packs in was a bit humbling. Using less for now. Stays snug through my sets.

Some room to go heavier

Have two fixed weight vests sitting in the garage already. Didn't want to do that again. Using this at 34 lbs and still have a few packs spare. Thats what sold me on it.

Different feel from my ruck

I still use a pack when I need to carry water and other stuff. For walks where I only want the weight, I prefer this. The weight sits differently and I spend less time tugging at shoulder straps. Getting the vest adjusted took a couple of outings, so it wasn't instantly perfect. I also had to find somewhere to put my phone because I was used to dropping everything in the ruck. Small thing, but something I hadn't thought about when switching.

For pull-up days

Wanted extra weight without something swinging between my legs. This works for me. Getting it snug before the first set makes a big difference. Using 30 lbs at the moment.

Feels secure once adjusted

Bought it for conditioning. I worried about the weight moving around, so spent a while getting the straps right before doing anything with it. Been good for my hill walks and step-ups. A couple guys from the team have tried it too.

Keeping the backpack for actual gear

I like my ruck, but sometimes I just want to go out with weight and nothing else. This is easier for those walks. Can take two packs out for a lighter day without finding a different plate or messing with filler in the bag.

Useful for backyard workouts

Squats and step-ups in the backyard. Works well. Plenty heavy enough for me right now.

The hill near my house

There's one long hill on my usual route. Been walking it with this on and that is plenty for now. Like that I can take some weight out before heading home if I've overestimated how much I wanted to carry.

Why everyone suddenly has weight on their walk

Weighted walking went mainstream. HEFT is built for it.

Walking with load went from a military drill to a mainstream habit in about two years. TIME, Axios, and the entire fitness internet picked it up. These aren't about HEFT — they're about the thing HEFT is built for.

Common questions

Questions, answered plainly.

Is Heavy too much to start with?

Heavy starts at 24 lb with every pack out — that's the floor. If you've never worn load, start with Light or Core. Heavy is for people who already train loaded and want the last vest they buy.

What if I don't use it?

Send it back. You have 30 days from delivery, for any reason, for a refund of the purchase price. Light ships back free. On Core and Heavy the return label cost is deducted unless the item is defective. We built the walk test because the closet is where most vests end up — we'd rather take it back than have you look at it. Details on the shipping & returns page.

How fast does it ship?

From a US warehouse. Orders are processed in 1–2 business days and delivered in 2–3 business days after that — plan on 3–5 business days door to door. Shipping to the contiguous US is free through Oct 31 (normally a $4.90 flat rate); $19.90 to the other countries we ship to. We can't ship to Hawaii, Alaska, US territories, APO/FPO or PO boxes.

Does it come with all the weights?

Every single one. Light ships with six 1 lb pouches, Core with six 2 lb packs, Heavy with eight. Every pack for your model is included in the price. You open the box and you have the full range.

What if I want 15 lb?

There's no HEFT between 10 and 20. Light tops out at 10; Core starts at 20 with the packs out. If 10 already feels easy on your walks, Core is the next real step.

Does it smell?

The packs are sealed iron weights in double-stitched pockets. Neoprene can carry a faint factory smell for a day out of the bag — air it out.

Can I wash it?

Wipe it. Take the pouches out, wipe the neoprene with a damp cloth and mild soap, hang to dry. Do not machine-wash and do not submerge the pouches.

Can I train in it, or is it only for walking?

Train in it. Walk in it. Hike in it. It is built around the daily walk — weight low at the waist, nothing on your chest, off in five seconds — and that same build works for stairs, push-ups, squats and bodyweight days. What it is not is a plate carrier: 40 lb is the ceiling on Heavy, so if you want 60 lb for CrossFit, buy a plate carrier.

Is a weighted vest safe for me?

Weighted vests are exercise equipment. If you have back, joint, heart or blood-pressure conditions, or are pregnant, talk to your doctor first. Start light and add weight slowly — that is exactly what the pouches are for.
