Removable weight or sealed, and where the load actually sits · review
A vest whose increment is published precisely — ten removable pockets of 470 g each — in 600D Oxford fabric with reflective strips for road use.
The bottom line A light vest built for running, and honest about its figures. Four hundred and seventy grams per pocket published exactly, in named 600D Oxford, with reflective strips that matter on a road. It is the lightest in this family — under five kilograms of removable weight — which is the product rather than a shortcoming.
Published as measured rather than rounded.
Half a kilogram would read more tidily. It would also be the seller’s arithmetic, and across ten pockets the difference is three hundred grams — nearly two thirds of one pocket.
This site carries figures as published, and this one is the reason why: a rounded number would have been indistinguishable from a measured one on the page.
Six hundred denier Oxford. The lightest weight published in this family, where the Eric Flag gives 1000D.
Denier is the mass of the yarn in the weave — a real textile specification rather than a claim of toughness.
On a vest at this weight, the use is running rather than pull-ups.
Reflective detailing on a garment worn on a road in the dark is a functional feature rather than styling, and three vests in this family mention it.
A chest measurement. The vest adjusts by elastics and straps rather than being sized, which is true of nearly every vest in this family — and no page on this site recommends a size.
The vest’s own mass, separate from the pockets.
From 43 € to 46 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, on the one reading this page rests on.
The American and British Amazon stores carry it too, priced in local currency — which the euro range above leaves out on purpose.

Because that is what the pocket weighs. Rounding it to half a kilogram would be tidier and would be the seller’s arithmetic rather than the measurement — and across ten pockets the difference is 300 g. This page carries the figure as published.
Denier — the mass of the yarn in the weave. Six hundred is the lightest published in this family, where one competitor gives 1000D. Higher is heavier and generally more abrasion-resistant.
Ten pockets of 470 g is roughly 4.7 kg of removable weight plus the vest itself, which is not published separately. It is the lightest vest in this family by a clear margin.
Running rather than lifting, where the reflective strips earn their place
