Curved Ruck Plates®

Noob -- pretty great

First time wearing weight and pretty new to consistent weekly exercise. These plates have been great. More comfortable than those from a vest I borrowed once from a different brand, even able to do crunches and leg lifts without taking them off.

The quality of the plate is great. My only con is the shape of the plate as I find the rigidity uncomfortable pressing against my sternum, shoulders and rib cage (I will continue to try to get use to it). I am currently looking into steel shot filled flexible plates that can fit in the front pocket. I also would have liked to see the 14.25 lb plates be in stock.

These plates are a very cool design. The way they contour with the vest allows them to be close to the body; doesn't hinder mobility. The neck cut outs are also very good. Helps when having to do lifting movements as well as fast transitions from standing to prone. Plenty of neck room. Sometimes you forget you have plates in the vest!
