To be fair, that’s a weighted vest that a lot of (mostly Crossfitters functional fitness types (I don’t want to get sued)) wear to make their workouts harder.
Nobody is going to sue you for making fun of CrossFit. If they try, just show the court a video of people thrashing around with kettlebells and I think any judge would agree that CrissFitters are fucking stupid.
There’s no real such thing as a true bullet proof vest, unless you enjoy wearing 25lb steel plates; a ceramic armor vest is significantly lighter but are not rated to take more than a few impacts of 7.62mm or even a few 9mm for regular consumer grade restricted for non-military use armor
For women, wearing a weight vest actually legitimately helps reduce bone loss in the hips. Statistically marked improvements for women tested vs control group.

The one wearing a bulletproof vest telling others not to be weak. She’s not strong enough to stop bullets on her own?
I wonder what her secret girlfriend has to say about that.

I saw “bulletproof vest” in the article but missed the “weighted or” part just before it. I did partial research before I posted. Lol.

I like turtles.
Nah that’s definitely body armor. I think it’s an oversized plate vest but she’s running, it’s all black, and I’m shit at identifying such things.

Weighted vests look significantly different than body armour. Also I haven’t seen any weighted vests that have a section of velcro for patches.
She’s wearing at least 3a.
