"The Kensui EZ-VEST Weight Vest is just a different animal. I feel quite confident in saying that it is a true innovation in the gym equipment space.
The value of the vest is unmatched, with durability, convenience, and adaptability all taking a top spot in the design. It’s an incredible weighted vest, and one I highly recommend."
— Coop Mitchell
"It's really sturdy on attachment, whereas other vests fly around and slide quite a bit. You can also adjust the length to make it sit higher or lower by preference. That's great for exercises like pushups where I can have it higher and have more chest challenge and lower for more core challenge. It also packs up easily and fits in my gym bag (huge bonus)"

"Finally! A portable weighted vest that I can bring with me on my training camps. I love that the padding comes off for when I want to swim or do close grip pull-ups!"

"I love using EZ-Vest for dryland workouts. It's very secure on my body and its great for explosive movements. The vest is perfect for pistol squats. It's much better than holding weights in your hand. Lastly, I love doing weighted invrerted rows with the vest."

We partnered with Pledgeling and the Thirst Project to build community wells in Swaziland and to ensure 3 people gain access to clean water for every EZ-VEST purchase.
Waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than AIDS, Malaria, and all world violence combined. Small children typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis.
By providing a community with safe drinking water, disease rates can drop by up to 88% virtually overnight! Child mortality rates can drop up to 90% overnight!

The 1st generation vests used sand bags. They are messy and extremely bulky as sand is not dense (1.6g/cm³). The sand move around as you exercise and the bulky profile limits your range of motion and exercises that you can perform.
The 2nd generation vests used iron blocks that fit in individual pockets. Iron is much denser (7.9 g/cm³) thus allowing the vest to be slimmer. However, iron blocks are cumbersome to use, as they weigh only 3lbs each. Furthermore, the blocks shake in their pockets during exercise.
The 3rd generation vests were inspired by bullet-proof vests. They became popular due to the crossfit games. However, they're only capable of holding custom plates that weigh 13 lbs each. Therefore, the vest can only hold 26 lbs.
The EZ-VEST solves all the drawbacks of the previous models. Now that bulk, micro-loading and unstable weights are resolved, you can finally optimize building muscle and strength.
Push-ups are a fundamental movement. However to gain muscle and progress it is optimal to stay in the hypertrophy range of 6-12 reps.
If 12 reps is easy to do, you must make push-ups more challenging by adding weight to the movement.
EZ-Vest allows you to stay in the rep-range optimal for muscle growth and apply progressive overload by adding incremental weight over time.
Most people try to lose weight by either exercising or eating less. Although these are valid options, there is a better alternative!
While exercise is an important form of activity to burn calories, other forms of physical activity, called non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), play a significant role in maximizing the total calories burned in a day.
NEAT is any activity that is subconscious or non-planned such as standing, walking, and fidgeting. Research by Levine et.al. found that obese people exhibit a tendency to be seated for 2.5 hours per day more than sedentary lean counterparts.
Wearing EZ-VEST can increase NEAT. Weighted walking is taking over the fitness industry as it was shown by the Compendium of Physical Activities to burn 650 kcal per hour!
Dr. James Krieger (Executive director of Healthy Food America) is famous for making clients wear a vest to boost NEAT and burn fat.
Until recently, the only known homeostatic regulator of fat was the hormone leptin. However, scientists from the University of Gothenburg discovered that receptors in your bones called 'osteocytes' also regulate your weight.
Osteocytes can sense the weight loaded onto them. The osteocytes tries to maintain homeostasis by signaling your brain to increase/reduce appetite if there are changes to your bodyweight.
By adding an external load like the EZ-VEST, you can trick the receptors to think you have gained weight. This will signal your brain to reduce your appetite.
Weightloss was caused by reduced appetite rather than increased energy burn.
You can do more than 12 push-ups✅
Push-ups are fundamental. However to gain muscle and progress it is optimal to stay in the hypertrophy range. If 12 reps is easy to do, you must make push-ups more challenging by adding weight.
EZ-VEST helps increase NEAT (Non-excercise Activity Thermogenesis) which is the most efficient way to burn calories.
You want to gain muscle and strength ✅
To avoid the law of accommodation, it is crucial to rotate and change exercises periodically. EZ-VEST offers new movement patterns that will prevent you from hitting plateaus so you can progress.

It is actually very easy to get in and out of this vest because it uses rigid weight plates instead soft sand bags or small iron blocks. If you have the strength to pick up the vest from the ground it is very easy to put on. If you don't have the strength, then you are getting your ego get the best of you and are definitely using too much weight.
It's just as quick and easy as adding weights to a barbell and can be done in a matter of seconds!
