I want to train for the Murph starting Jan 1. I need a 20lb weighted vest and there are a lot of options out there. Anyone have one they recommend?

5.11 Tactical and Hypervest are probably to two better options.

Correct. There are tons of different options at cheaper prices. I just posted the two most common ones you'll see at a crossfit gym. I'm sure he googled and saw the plethora of choices.

You could go with some of the cheaper brands - really depends on how much you think you will use it. I’m a firm believer in “buy once, cry once”. I’ve had a 5.11 for 4 years now. Still holding up. Obviously use it for Murph, but also during hero month (May) at our gym where every WOD is a hero WOD. A good number of those call for a vest. I’ve put a lot of miles on it.

Where is a good site to pickup 10 lb plates for the 5.11 vest?
