If you’re serious about maximizing your bodyweight training—push-ups, pull-ups, dips, squats, or even walking lunges—the 45 lb. Short Narrow Weight Vest from WeightVest.com is designed to take your workouts to the next level. Built for comfort, durability, and performance, this vest has become a go-to for athletes, military professionals, and fitness enthusiasts and firefighters looking for a serious training edge. Available in BOX®, V-FORCE® AND V-MAX series.
Comfortable, Compact, and Performance-Driven
The narrow design of this vest makes it a perfect fit for bodyweight workouts. Unlike bulky alternatives, it allows for a full range of motion, so you won’t feel restricted when performing pull-ups, push-ups, or burpees. The fully padded body and shoulders ensure long-lasting comfort, even during extended sessions, and the snug fit prevents bouncing or shifting mid-movement.
The vest is short and compact, measuring just 11" x 11" x 2.5". This makes it ideal for high-rep sets, circuit training, or functional fitness drills where mobility is key. 4 weights across gives an extra 2" of space for close arm movements like push ups etc.
Built for Serious Training
Durability matters when you’re strapping on 45 lbs. of iron. This vest uses military-grade webbing and moisture-resistant materials that will never stretch or sag, and will last years. Each 2.5 lb. premium weight bar slides into its pocket for a balanced load, distributing weight equally on the front and back.
The 2" legacy belt system makes adjusting simple and secure, so you can focus on training—not fidgeting with gear. Plus, with its lifetime warranty against defects, this vest is built to outlast any imported knock-off.
Progressive Loading for Strength and Endurance
One of the biggest advantages of the 45 lb. Short Narrow Vest is its incremental adjustability. It comes loaded with 18 weight bars at 2.5 lbs each, allowing you to scale from lighter resistance to the full 45 lbs as your strength improves.
This makes it an excellent training tool whether you’re just starting weighted bodyweight workouts or already advanced and pushing for the next level of performance.
-
Start lighter (10–20 lbs) for high-rep push-ups, pull-ups, or long workouts.
-
Progressively increase weight as you adapt for added intensity and strength gains.
-
Use the full 45 lbs for heavy bodyweight exercises, sprints, and conditioning drills.
Versatility in Every Workout
The one-size-fits-most (to 44" girth, XL available) design ensures a snug, reliable fit. With equal weight distribution, the vest works seamlessly for:
-
Pull-ups & Chin-ups – Build upper-body pulling strength.
-
Push-ups & Dips – Add progressive overload to chest, shoulders, and triceps.
-
Air Squats & Lunges – Strengthen legs without needing barbells.
-
Core Work – Enhance planks, mountain climbers, or sit-ups.
-
Cardio Conditioning – Intensify sprints, stair climbs, or circuits.
Because the vest is short and narrow, it won’t get in the way of hip or leg movement, making it the ideal choice for dynamic training. And adding weight higher on the torso gives added advantages for core strength and conditioning.
