THE WEIGHTED VEST is perfect for anyone looking to take their bodyweight training to that next level. There are a number of different styles and designs on the market, from sleek sand-filled straps meant for runners to tactical plate carriers, similar to what you might see at a CrossFit gym or worn by various military groups. For the cost, the benefit that this simple piece of gear can bring to your strength and endurance is undeniable, even when you go for the more high-end offerings. But how do you choose the right rig?
Lucky for you, the crew here at Men’s Health has tried them all, and we’ve spotted a diverse group of our sweat-tested favorites discounted during Amazon’s biggest sales event of the year, Prime Day. That means you don’t have to wait to get a great vest, and if you pull the trigger quick enough, you can be hitting weighted pull-ups in the park in no time. I personally have put my Wolf Tactical vest through many mud-soaked miles and Murphs (the annual CrossFit workout that honors fallen Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael P. Muphy.)

Pick Your Plates
The weighted vest from Wolf Tactical (and most tactical carriers) requires plates, so if you don't already own a pair, be sure to pick those up as well. The plates from Wolf Tactical are on sale on Amazon and there is even a bundle that you can consider for some additional savings. The weights available are 5.75, 8.75, 14.5, and 19.75 pounds, each plate.

When Is Prime Day This Year?
Prime Day will take place July 16 and 17, 2024, but you can expect to see sales before and after those dates. If you spot a great deal go ahead and snag it, because popular products tend to sell out. If you don't have time to shop on the actual Prime Day dates, there are still deals to be had, as Amazon has kept the sales going on certain products for as long as they have inventory in the past.
We will be updating this list as new deals hit the site.
Do I Need to Be a Prime Member to Shop Prime Day?
Yes, you must have an Amazon Prime membership to get these discounts, but becoming a member is easy and costs $14.99 a month (or $139 a year). You can also sign up for a 30-day free trial that aligns with the sale. Pro tip: There are two less expensive options worth looking into—a student membership or the Prime Access program.
