5kg of additional resistance. Without cluttering your workout with extra equipment.
The VSL Sports IronVest 5kg is a fixed-weight weighted vest with iron sand filling, an adjustable fit, and reflective details. Worn on the torso, it adds resistance to walking, running, bodyweight exercises, CrossFit, functional training, and home workouts.
What does the IronVest do? It adds 5kg of external load to the movements you are already doing, without the need to hold dumbbells or other equipment in your hands.
The load is distributed throughout the vest's structure via iron sand, while the fit is adjustable to remain closer to the torso during movement. The 5kg model is designed for a chest circumference of approximately 70–120cm.
Additional resistance to the movements you already do
The main advantage of a weighted vest is that the additional load is carried along with the body. Your hands remain free and the resistance accompanies every step, squat, lunge, or bodyweight exercise.
This allows the IronVest to be used in both a simple daily walk and more demanding training, without altering the basic execution of the activity.
5kg of additional resistance
The load is already integrated into the vest and does not require separate discs or weights.
Hands remain free
Particularly practical for walking, running, jump rope, and exercises where you need full use of your hands.
One vest, many uses
Used for cardio, functional training, bodyweight training, CrossFit, and daily walking.
No bulky equipment
Adds resistance without the need to carry dumbbells, barbells, or other equipment.
It’s not just about weighing 5kg. It’s about where that weight is located.
The iron sand filling is distributed across different parts of the structure, so the load spreads around the torso instead of concentrating in one spot.
This helps the IronVest follow body movements more naturally and provides a more balanced feeling during walking, running, and bodyweight exercises.
Iron Sand: smaller volume, distributed weight
The internal load consists of fine metallic material known as iron sand. Instead of large, rigid weights, the filling is contained within the individual sections of the vest, allowing it to follow your body's geometry better.
Distributed filling
The weight spreads across different parts of the vest rather than being concentrated in one large unit.
Load close to the torso
The construction keeps the additional weight around the body so it moves with you.
No rigid metal plates
The iron-sand construction maintains a more flexible form compared to systems with large, rigid plates.
For repetitive use
Suitable for workouts where you want a consistent additional load without constantly changing weights.
Adjustable fit 70–120cm
A weighted vest should fit close enough to the body to limit unnecessary movement during exercise. The IronVest 5kg features an adjustable chest strap and elastic fitting points.
This specific model is designed for a chest circumference of approximately 70 to 120cm. The elasticity of the construction allows for slight adjustments within this range, but a measurement before purchase is recommended for a proper fit.
Chest adjustment
The strap allows for adjustments so the vest fits closer to the torso.
Confirmed fit range
The 5kg version is suitable for a chest circumference of approximately 70–120cm.
Elastic adjustment
The elastic points help the vest conform better to different body types.
More stable during movement
Proper adjustment limits unwanted movement and excessive bouncing during exercise.
Freedom of movement for shoulders and arms
The open geometry around the arms and shoulders allows the IronVest to be used in exercises that require a large range of motion.
This is particularly important for running, jump rope, push-ups, burpees, exercises with resistance bands, kettlebells, or bodyweight training.
Running
Adds a stable load without the need to hold equipment in your hands.
Daily Walk
Turns a simple walk into an activity with additional resistance.
CrossFit
For circuits and bodyweight exercises where you want extra load.
Strength Training
Can be combined with squats, lunges, step-ups, and other strength exercises.
Rope Jumping
The hands-free design leaves your hands free for using a jump rope.
Home Gym
A compact way to add resistance to a program without extra large equipment.
Reflective strips for better visibility
There are reflective strips on the shoulders and selected areas of the IronVest, which reflect light when illuminated.
These are a useful additional feature for walking or running in low-light conditions. They do not replace appropriate lighting or other visibility equipment where required.
Reflective surfaces
They reflect incident light and help the body become more visible in low light.
Useful for outdoor exercise
A practical feature for walking and running early in the morning or late at night.
Soft contact and reinforced construction
The shoulder areas are padded so that the load does not come into direct contact with the body via thin, hard straps. At the same time, the construction uses reinforced stitching in areas subject to constant tension.
Padded shoulders
Larger contact area for a more uniform feeling of the load.
Reinforced stitching
Designed for the stress created by the integrated weight.
Central buckle
Quick opening and closing with the ability to adjust the fit.
Open design
The limited coverage area leaves more of the torso exposed compared to a full vest.
Practical space for small items
The construction includes a practical storage space on the back for small items during training. Depending on usage, it can be utilized for items such as keys or other small personal belongings.
