One size fits most – elastic panels on the back and adjustable straps allow the YVO Warrior Vest to adapt to most body shapes.

Do not tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean.
Size Guide
ONE SIZE FITS MOST
The Warrior Vest is made for women, S–XL. The adjustable front straps and stretchy back panels move with you — one vest, designed to carry power across bodies.
S–XL — Bust 31–41" (79–104 cm) — Waist 24–34" (61–86 cm)
How to measure
Bust: Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, parallel to the floor, over a thin layer.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest point — keeping the tape snug but not tight.
Welcome to your strongest era.

Why We Made This
FAQs
What are the weights made of?
Each pouch is filled with dense carbon steel sand, securely sealed and zipped into front and back pockets. Tested to prevent shifting or leaks.
How do I redeem my DEXA scan from BodySpec?
As of 9/9/2026 all DEXA scans will be redeemed through the YVO Warrior App using your order #.
If you placed your order prior to 9/9/2026 you will have received your DEXA scan redemption code via email.
Not in your city yet? Email us - we’ll notify you when it arrives near you.
Can I travel with it?
Yes. The weight pouches are removable, making the vest easy to pack. Note that pouches may require checked baggage depending on airline guidelines — we recommend checking before you fly.
When will my order arrive?
All orders ship within 3–5 business days. You'll receive a tracking number via email as soon as your order is on its way. BodySpec DEXA scan codes are sent separately once your order ships, if applicable.
How heavy should I start?
Most research-backed protocols begin at 5–10% of body weight. The YVO Warrior vest ships with eight 2.5lb weight pouches and accommodates up to 20lbs, so you can progress without buying a second vest.
What pockets does the vest have?
Plenty. Three zippered pockets, two front and one back, hold your weight pouches. Two mesh side pockets fit your phone or sunglasses, smaller mesh pockets up top are perfect for a lip gloss, and a hidden pocket on each side holds a card or cash.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes. Remove the weight pouches, wash the shell cold on gentle, hang to dry. For daily upkeep, spot clean with mild soap and water.
How should I distribute the weights?
Load one pouch into each front pocket first, then fill the back pocket. From there, you can keep it even front-to-back, or move more weight up front, closer to your hips. Try it on after loading and adjust until the balance feels right.
Can I cancel or return?
Yes. Reach out to hi@yvowarrior.com within 30 days of delivery and we'll help you out. Send your item back in good, resalable condition with its original packaging. We'll send a prepaid return label and deduct the shipping cost from your refund. Once we receive and inspect your return, your refund goes back to your original payment method within 3-7 business days.
Will it fit my body?
Yes. The Warrior Vest was designed for women of most sizes (U.S. S–XL). It’s bust-friendly, secure, and adjusts like a backpack - one size fits most. Extenders are available to purchase if you need a little more space.
How much weight should I start with?
New to rucking? Start with 5 lbs, one 2.5 lb pouch on each side. That's enough to keep your posture steady while you walk. From there, build up gradually toward 10% of your body weight, and always choose good posture over more weight. Our free Rucking 101 Guide walks you through a full sample plan.
How many weight pouches come with my vest?
It depends on what you ordered. The Shell comes with no weights, the 10 lb set includes four 2.5 lb pouches, and the 20 lb set includes eight. Mix and match pouches across the front and back pockets to find your load.
What should I wear it with?
Anything you'd wear on a walk. The Warrior Vest is designed to layer over everyday clothing — a t-shirt, a fleece, a jacket. It's built for real life, not just the gym.
What if my package is lost or damaged?
We’ll make it right. Email us at hi@yvowarrior.com with your order number.
Where do you ship to?
U.S. only. International shipping begins in end of 2026.
What is the vest made from?
Premium Cordura® nylon, breathable mesh, and reinforced stitching. Strong enough for sweat and miles, comfortable enough for everyday carry.
How is this different from a regular weighted vest?
Most vests are unisex products scaled down. Ours is cut for the female chest and ribcage, weighted for daily wear, and engineered with progressive loading in mind — not max effort.
How do I know if it fits correctly?
The vest should feel snug but not restrictive. Front pouches should sit just above the hips. Use the dual adjustable straps — at bust and waist — to dial in your fit. If it shifts while you walk, tighten slightly.
