Strata™ Soft Weight Vest Plates

Soft weight plates are flexible in both lateral and longitudinal directions, providing enhanced safety and comfort for close-body exercises compared to rigid plates. They significantly improve the ease and effectiveness of twisting and crunching movements.

Not all, but they will fit most weight vests designed for soft weight plates. If your vest accommodates standard soft weight vest plates, these should fit.

The soft weight vest plates are wrapped in rugged 600D nylon fabric and pre-filled with compact steel shot.

You will receive two soft plates (one pair) of the selected weight per order.

No! These plates are not designed or rated for use as body armor. 

The Strata™ weight vest has two plate pockets: one on the front (REP Patch) and one on the back (Mountain Logo).

At the bottom of the vest, open the wide horizontal hook-and-loop closure on the pocket.

Inside, open the smaller center hook-and-loop tab and pull it out.

You’ll find two nylon straps with hook-and-loop—pull both out. The pocket is now fully open.

Insert the weight plate fully.

Push the nylon straps in securely, followed by the center tab.

Close the outer pocket flap with the wide hook-and-loop.

Steel shot consists of very small, spherical pellets made of steel, commonly used as a dense and durable material that serves as a compact filler, providing evenly distributed weight that enhances stability and resistance during training. Unlike sand and other soft fillers, steel shot is very heavy, meaning it has a higher weight to volume ratio than sand. This makes them more low profile, and less bulky than sand plates.

To maintain your soft weight plate, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed, especially if it has been exposed to saltwater, as this can cause corrosion in certain materials. Dry it thoroughly before storage to prevent moisture buildup, and inspect it regularly for any wear or damage, particularly if used on abrasive surfaces. Avoid soaking or submerging to protect the materials and filling. Storing it in a dry, cool place when not in use will help extend its lifespan.
