Four tests the Vestie aces.
Thickness, bounce, fold and storage. Side by side with the vest we bought.
Thinnest weight vest. You'll forget it's on.
Same walk. Watch what stays still.
Phone, keys, card. Theirs holds nothing
Ours folds. Theirs is a brick.
What makes it a Vestie
Built like a vest you'd actually want to wear.
Not a sandbag with straps. Every detail exists because a woman asked for it.
FlexCell™ replaces hard iron plates and rigid bricks with a soft, silicone-based fill that molds to your body. No hot spots. No digging. No bouncing.
Adjust and secure to your body in seconds. Our quick-lock cord laces keep the vest on and snug with a pull of a string. Quick-release with a slide of a button.
Designed to be supportive like a sports bra. The weight is distributed to be made for women's bodies. You'll find more weight on the back of the vest instead of on your chest.
Easily wear our vest in 3 seconds. Slide it on, zip it up, go for your walk. No more overhead loading, moving plates around or adjusting velcro.
Comes in a base black color and three limited-edition colors: sand, ocean blue and sea glass green.
The Science
Bones are like muscles. They need stress to grow.
Read more to see what studies say.
14x
Five years apart, and it showed.
Over five years, the women who didn’t exercise in a weighted vest lost about 14 times as much thigh bone.
+2.9%
Bone holds only if something loads it.
Women who lifted heavy for eight months grew spine bone by 2.9 percent. The women who didn’t lift lost it.
-1.6 lbs
Same effort, more of the result.
Adults who exercised in a weighted vest lost 1.6 lbs more fat than those who exercised without one.
5 - 13%
Your same walk, worth more.
You can burn 5 – 13% more calories with weighted walks.
Not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you've been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Two sisters, one mom
It started with our mom’s scan.
We spent 18 months building a vest she’d wear. That’s the Vestie.
Expand the journey
The word was osteopenia. Her doctor was clear: resistance training. A weighted vest would be an easy way to add resistance on her daily walks.
So we did what everyone does. We ordered a few off Amazon. Every one of them was awful.
Thick sand bricks that sat on her like a backpack.
Bounced with every step.
Nowhere to put her phone.
And they looked like something you’d wear at military training, not to walk to the coffee shop.
She gave it a few chances. Then it went in the closet, which is where good intentions go to die.
That’s the real problem with weight vests. It’s not that they don’t work. It’s that nobody wants to wear them.
Two years, and 30 prototypes later, we fixed that.
We invented FlexCell™, a weight material as dense as metal but flexible like a gel insole, so the vest could be < 1cm thick, over 3× thinner than the Amazon ones, and still give real resistance.
We added side straps so it hugs instead of bounces.
Real pockets.
A zipper, like a jacket.
Colors from the Charleston coast she’d want to be seen in.
Mom wears hers even while she’s running errands. That was the test.
That’s the Vestie: the first weighted vest built for women, by women.

Before you hit the button.
Will it bounce when I walk fast or jog?
No. Cinch the cords at both sides for a comfortable corset-like fit. The FlexCell is soft and moves the way you move, so there's no extra room for bounce. Zero bounce, walking or running.
What sizes does it come in?
One size, and you set the fit yourself. The cords take it from a 24 inch waist to a 36 inch waist, and it's cut for a bust anywhere from A to DD. At 16 inches long it sits above your hips for a flattering cropped fit.
Is 8 lb enough to actually do anything?
Eight pounds sounds like nothing until you've carried it all the way around the block. It isn't a set you finish, it's load on every step of a walk you're already taking. When eight pounds stops feeling like anything, you go up one pound at a time to get to twelve.
What if I don't love it?
You've got 30 days from the day it arrives to decide. If it's not for you, send it back unused, tags still on, in its original packaging, and we'll refund you. The full terms, including the restocking fee, are in Returns and Exchanges.

“I wore it under a jacket to dinner straight after a run. It sat flat the whole night and I never thought about it again.”
