Hyperwear vests use horizontal-only stretch fabric to hug your torso, preventing bounce while allowing full chest expansion for breathing. No shifting, no sagging, no weight hanging from the shoulders—just secure, comfortable movement.

Yes! 2025 production of our vests use PFAS-free CORDURA® and Zyflex® fabrics—safer for you and eco-friendly compared to neoprene or coated nylons used by others.

Hyperwear’s modular system lets you micro-load as little as 1/7 lb or 1/2 lb and build up to 10 to 42 lbs (varies by model). Unlike Zelus® or Omorpho® with fixed weights, you can fine-tune resistance to match your workout. No bulky plates, no hassle, no cost of buying another vest.
