Built for the Work. Proven through Struggle.
Over a decade ago, we built a vest for public safety pros to wear on the job. Turns out, it was also the perfect way to level up fitness training.
Athletes all over the world agreed and have used 5.11 Weight Vests for functional training ever since.
The Taconic is a decade of refinement. Better fit. Better stability. Better performance. Locks in, stays put, and lets you focus on the work.
Taconic™ Weight Vest
We created our first weighted vest for training over a decade ago and we've been perfecting it ever since. The new Taconic™ is our best fitting yet - keeping you comfortable through every rep and pushing past every reason you had to quit.
The vest disappears. The work doesn't. Flexible. Breathable. Built to stay out of your way.
Build Your Kit
Our vests and weighted plates work as one system. Add weight as you progress. Scale up when you're ready.
Bundled together, so you can cut straight to crushing it
