weight vest

Wearable resistance garment

A weight vest is a garment worn on the torso that holds added weight, typically in the form of small sandbags or metal plates inserted into pockets.

Used during exercise to increase resistance and intensity: I do my morning run in a weight vest.

Weight vests range from a few pounds to over fifty, allowing progressive training.
