The plates you put in your weight vest will have a SIGNIFICANT impact on how comfortable it is!

Unfortunately, most weight plate offerings we see have no curve (insanity) or just a single curve (not ideal). Our multi-curve plates have the same tapers at the top and bottom edges that you’ll see on high end ballistic plates offered to the Military. If your body is curved (it is), your plates should be too! 

Why don’t more companies offer multi-curve weight plates? They’re not cheap to make. You need some serious machinery to do all that bending. So while you’ll find more cost effective weight plates, know that what you’re paying for here is an unmatched upgrade in comfort. 

The 10x12 Plate Cushions add on option are the same high end 6mm neoprene foam that we use on our shoulder straps, just in a 10x12 shape to go between your body and the weight plates. 

Pro tip: If you're finding your weight vest uncomfortable against your low back, raise the height of the rear plate bag by shortening your shoulder straps! 

Important: Our weight plates are intended STRICTLY as workout equipment and should never be used as body armor. If you try to use these plates as body armor, you’re gonna have a bad time.
