Weight Vest Training Plate - 5.75lb / 2.6kg Red

Cross-Training 2.6kg weighted training plate - Official CrossFit weight

Modeled on the proven Body Armour Plate shape this weighted training plate has been developed for you to take your training to the next level.

These plates have been engineered to feel as close to a real HAP (Hard Armour Plate) and replicate the feel of authentic operational conditions.

The CrossFit community have welcomed these plates with the main feedback centering around their increased comfort level with their body-forming contoured plates.
Longevity of plate carriers have also been increased due to the rounded edges of the weighted plate not wearing down the inside of the carrier.

These weighted training plates are designed to fit all high quality plate carriers, including the CrossFit 5.11 TacTec Plate Carrier. - CLICK HERE to see carrier.

The composite materials used on the plate do not degrade due to sweat and moisture.

The plates are sold as single units.

Why are these weights so important?

At the CrossFit Games they used the 5.11 weighted vest that weighs 2.5lb. When you add one of the above plates, one in the front and one in the back you get:

• 3.75lb x 2 + 2.5lb = 10lbs - Official weight at the Masters and Teen competitions at the CrossFit Games.
• 5.75lb x 2 + 2.5lb = 14lbs - Official weight at the Women's competitions at the CrossFit Games. 
• 8.75lb x 2 + 2.5lb = 20lbs - Official weight at the Men's competitions at the CrossFit Games. 

Not sure what weight you should go for?

The 1.7kg / 3.75lb plates are ideal for those that want to start to get into training or want to just add a little bit more resistance to their workout.

The 2.6kg / 5.75lb plates are referred to in the CrossFit community as a competing female weight. They are ideal for adding on a substantial amount of resistance training and are generally used by those that are comfortable in their routines, looking to build to a heavier level or females looking to train at a CrossFit Games weight level.

The 4.5kg / 8.75lb plates are mainly used by males who want to train at the CrossFit Games weight level. Theses plates will add a whole new dimension to your training, whether it's running, squatting, dead lifting or any kind of cross training.
