Add serious resistance to your training

The 5.11 Tactical WGT Vest Plate 8.75lb 2.0 turns your weighted vest or plate carrier into a proper conditioning tool. Each steel plate weighs 8.75lb (3.97kg) and is supplied as a pair, adding 17.5lb of load to push your cross-training, rucking and bodyweight workouts harder.

Built to fit and last

Made from powder-coated steel, these 2.0 plates are shaped with a sculpted compound curve and a low profile so they sit close to the torso rather than bouncing around. They are designed for the 5.11 TacTec Trainer Weight Vest and TacTec Plate Carrier, and fit most other plate carriers and training vests too.

Training weight, not armour

It is important to know these are fitness plates only and provide no ballistic protection. They are intended purely to add resistance for training, from MURPH and pull-ups to running and loaded carries, helping you build strength and endurance safely.

Stand out in Weathered Orange

The Weathered Orange finish gives these plates a distinctive look in the gym or on the trail, while the rugged coating stands up to repeated sessions and knocks.
