Weighted Vests

Weighted Vests for Training, Rucking & Conditioning

Level up your bodyweight workouts, functional training, and ruck sessions with SMAI’s premium range of weighted vests. Whether you're after a tactical plate carrier for CrossFit, a ruck vest for endurance walks, or a training vest to intensify calisthenics, we’ve got you covered.

Built for Performance

SMAI weighted vests are constructed from durable 500D high-grade nylon, built to handle heavy loads and intense movement. Designed with padded interiors, adjustable straps, and secure closure systems, our vests ensure a snug, comfortable fit throughout your session.

Adjustable Weight Options

Each vest starts with a base weight and can be customised using front and back cast iron plate inserts — available in 2.5kg, 5kg, and 7.5kg options. Perfect for progressive overload and scalable intensity, from beginner to elite athlete.

Why Train with a Weighted Vest?

  • Increase workout intensity without needing extra equipment
  • Build strength, endurance, and core stability
  • Improve posture and bone density under load
  • Burn more calories during cardio, HIIT, and daily movement
  • Ideal for rucking, bodyweight training, CrossFit, or military prep

Ruck Vests vs Training Vests

Our ruck vests offer a balanced, close-to-body fit for long-distance walking or hiking, helping reduce strain compared to traditional backpacks. Tactical training vests, on the other hand, are designed for dynamic workouts like sprints, pull-ups, push-ups, and drills — offering even weight distribution with freedom to move.
