What’s everyone’s favorite weighted vest or plate carrier to utilize for workouts?

I ran a simple 50lbs weighted vest when training for my goat hunt last year. Did the stair climber and treadmill on highest incline and I felt it helped with stability and definitely made a difference. As far as branding, it was one of the cheapest ones on Amazon, I bought it off a friend it doesn’t have a brand name on it

Out of sheer curiosity, why a vest instead of your pack?

The vest would be additional to my strength workouts. Currently due to job, wife’s job, toddler at home I don’t have time to go to the gym for an hour or more so I’m working out at home for 30 minutes with a small assortment of kettlebells but don’t have much room to add more kettlebells for more weight. Hoping the vest could supplement some of that when I want that extra weight for squats, lunges, push ups, etc. I plan to incorporating my pack with some weight on treadmill sessions or walks once it warms up some.

That makes sense, I wore a plate carrier for a couple of decades for work and hated also working out in it, but it was handy.

I have a ferro concepts slickster w jacked rabbit plates
Definitely some cheaper configurations but I like this set up

I highly recommend sand plates over metal

I’ve been using Rogue’s vest for MTNTOUGH WV20 workout. No big complaints so far. I have no experience with other vests for what it’s worth.

I've been using the Go ruck vest with the contoured rouge plates to train for the pack test. I bought the "mountain ops" one as well but sent it back. One feature that one had that I did like was molle paneling. On the Goruck one, might have to wear a fanny pack or something to carry phone and bear spray and water.

I've got a Wolf Tactical that I've been very happy with, I run their curved plates and it's been as comfortable as possible throughout various movements, even up and down off of the floor.

I have an SKD PIG Brigandine plate carrier that I run plates in for added weight, minimalist vest that I can add to and use if SHTF
