Features that make a Top-Tier Weighted Vest

The Ergorilla Weighted Vest is known for its comfort and performance for Calisthenics workouts. It's features has been tested and proven by our team who actually uses them regularly, our customers with 5 stars reviews, and many comprehensive prototyping processes.

Here are some features that make the Ergorilla Weighted Vest the most suitable for Calisthenics and Home Workouts.

Adjustable Straps

Don’t worry that the vest won’t fit you. The straps of the vest are adjustable from 75cm to 113cm. If it feels too tight that you cannot breathe properly, simply loosen it. If it feels too loose that it doesn’t feel secure, simply tighten it.

It is important that the vest hugs snugly on your body so that there is no discomfort or chafing.

The size of the pouch is 23 x 11cm (W x H), enough to store most phones and small items.

High-Quality Performance Vest

Premium Oxford material (As compared to Cordura)

Material matters because of three things:

  1. Comfort during workouts
  2. Maintenance after workouts
  3. Durability over time

Most vest use Cordura material which is a tough material primarily used in the military. Although it is very durable, it does not optimize for comfort & maintenance.

The Ergorilla Weighted Vest uses Oxford material which is a slightly softer fabric that feels comfortable on your skin. It is also more breathable which makes it cooler for your body during intense workouts.

It is easier to maintain and remains odourless if you dry it after your workouts. Oxford fabric dries more quickly and allows for the sweat to evaporate faster. This makes it less likely for it to have an odour.

The material of the vest is made not only for durability but also factors in your comfort and the need for maintenance.

Double Stitched Seams

The Ergorilla Weighted Vest is double stitched with quality craftsmanship to ensure that the fabric does not tear or fray easily. It firmly secures the materials and the padding to deliver a comfortable and neat vest.

Double stitched means that you don’t have to worry about tearing of the fabric causing the padding to fall out.

It keeps the vest secure even under the most intense workouts, so that it last for a long time. You don’t have to worry about replacing one soon!

Rust-Resistant Weight Blocks

Our ~1kg Weighted Blocks are made from cast iron and coated with Acrylic to protect the block from rusting.

Rusting is a major issue for Weighted Vests whose weights are not properly insulated from the moisture in the air. It quickly rusts on contact with water or very damp environments. The rusts starts to stick to the fabric and the vest begins to feel “sticky & sandy” which makes it very uncomfortable. Furthermore, the rust makes it difficult to remove and insert the blocks into the pockets.

This is why rust-resistant Weight Blocks are so important and are a core feature in the Ergorilla Weighted Vest.

Adjustable Weight Up to 20kg

The vest is fully adjustable for various weights of your choice. Having an adjustable weighted vest is critical for progressive overload as compared to a vest that can only provide a certain load.

You can slowly add or remove weights in 1kgs increment up to the maximum loading weight of the vest (12kg to 20kg). You can start small at 1kg, and slowly work up to your goal weight.

At CaliChimps, we one of the few brand who provide a broad range of weighted vest loads of 12kg, 16kg, and 20kg. Your load, your choice.
