Why I Recommend the MVRK Heavy Weighted Vest
I’ve had the chance to try the MVRK Heavy Weighted Vest myself — and I’ve also seen a few friends use it regularly — and overall, it’s been a solid piece of gear, especially if you’re looking for something durable, compact, and challenging.
First off, the weight distribution is what really stands out. The individual iron weights are evenly spread across the vest and coated with neoprene, so they slide in smoothly and don’t clank or rattle when you move. The fit is snug once you get the strap tension right, and the shoulder padding does a decent job even when fully loaded with 35–65 lbs. A buddy of mine wore the 65lb version through a series of squat and push-up workouts and said it still felt manageable thanks to the shoulder yoke design.
That said, it’s not perfect. I noticed that if you’re planning to run with it, especially at heavier loads, it can bounce a bit unless you’ve got a broader chest to really tighten it down — one of my friends at 6’ and lean build had to max out the straps to stop it from moving too much. And if you go shirtless, expect some rubbing. But once it’s dialed in, it stays put for most strength-focused calisthenics or rucking.
A couple of people I know use it just for walking or wearing around the house — one even said it helped their lower back pain and sleep, which I didn’t expect to hear, but makes sense with consistent wear and gradual weight increases. I’ve also used it for Murph and agility work, and it’s got the right balance of bulk and mobility. The compact cut keeps your core free, which is great for bending, rotating, and doing high-rep bodyweight exercises.
I will say: the lack of instructions is annoying, especially when figuring out how to progressively load the vest without tipping the balance. But once you sort that out, it becomes second nature. The top-loading design is a plus — no worries about weights slipping out mid-set, and no risk of crushing your toes if you ever take it off carelessly.
Overall, the MVRK vest isn’t fancy or perfect, but it’s tough, customizable, and built for people who actually train hard. If you’re looking for something heavy that won’t fall apart after a month, and you’re okay with a little setup learning curve, it’s a strong buy — and one of the better plate-style vests I’ve used.
