Picked by the founder: 8-year infantry vet, Expert Infantryman Badge. His story · Ask him a question
Build the weight slow. Add miles first, then pounds. Your feet and back need time to catch up.
Why it made the cut
Weight that stays put
Iron pellets spread across front, back and shoulders, so it doesn't bounce or pull to one side.
Fast to the 35
20 lb vest + 3 L of water + first aid gets you close to the standard; a few pounds more and you're there.

Field tips
- Week 1: walk 2–3 miles with the vest alone at an easy pace.
- Add a hydration pack and water once the vest feels normal; that's your pack weight climbing toward 35.
- Broken-in boots and dry socks matter more than the vest. Treat hot spots early.
