How to Get the Right Fit in Your OMORPHO G‑Vest
We designed OMORPHO G‑Vests to be the simplest way to get fitter, faster and stronger without changing anything but what you wear. Our G‑Vest comes in two different weighted options: G‑Vest Icon and G‑Vest Icon Lite. Both have the same design, fit and premium materials. The only difference is the starting weight. Each vest is weighted with stainless steel ball bearings spread evenly across the core, so it fits low-profile and close to the body. That makes it a great fit for resistance training, walking, hiking, fitness classes and much more.
Many customers ask us about the “right fit” for their G‑Vest so they can get the most out of their workouts. Weighted vests used to be bulky, which made it confusing to know how they should be worn. G‑Vests are built to fit snug and close to your body without limiting your movement or breathing. Every men’s and women’s G‑Vest has adjustable shoulder straps, quick pull-and-release side cinches and a front zipper. Women’s G‑Vests are designed by women, for women, with a shape and curve made to fit her body.
Here’s a guide to getting the right fit in your OMORPHO G‑Vest.
Which G‑Vest is right for you?
We make the G‑Vest in two different weights to meet your needs and training goals. G‑Vest Icon is our heavier option. The men’s vest weighs 10 pounds, and women’s vest weighs 6 pounds. G‑Vest Icon Lite starts at 6 pounds for men and 3 pounds for women.
Both versions of the vest are compatible with a G‑Pack snap-in weight system that lets you add extra weight for added challenge that grows with you. Two panels snap into the front, and one snaps into the back to let you incrementally make the vest heavier, up to double weight.
How do I choose the right size?
G‑Vests are designed with a wide range of adjustable features, so many of the sizes overlap. You may fit a few. Below are size guides to show you key features to measure to ensure the size you select will be a good fit for your body shape. For men, height and waist circumference are important measurements to follow. For women, height and bust measurements are most helpful in determining the size that will give you the best fit.
For Men
For Women
How tight should you wear your G‑Vest?
Wear your G‑Vest snug, but never so tight that it limits your activity. It should sit close to your body without shifting or bouncing. A close fit keeps the vest from feeling loose or getting in the way of how you naturally move. It should never feel so tight that you struggle to breathe or feel constrained.
How high or low should you wear your G‑Vest?
You can wear your G‑Vest higher or lower on your torso, depending on what you prefer, your activity and what feels comfortable. For ab crunches, for example, you may want to wear the vest a little higher to clear your abdominal area. For movements that use your arms or shoulders, you may want to wear it a little lower for a fuller range of motion.
How can I customize the fit of my G‑Vest?
Three features let you customize the fit. Your fit should match your preference and always put your comfort and safety first.
- Adjustable shoulder straps set the length, so you can raise or lower the vest on your torso. Pull to raise it, release to lower it.
- Quick pull-and-release side cinches tighten or loosen the fit around your waist. Pull to tighten. Release to loosen.
- The front zipper secures the vest once your fit is set.
How can I add weight with the G‑Pack?
Every G‑Vest has built-in snap ports for the OMORPHO G‑Pack. The G‑Pack is a set of three snap-in weight panels, sold separately, that let you add weight as your body adapts and gets stronger. The men’s G‑Pack works with all men’s G‑Vests, and the women’s G‑Pack works with all women’s G‑Vests.
Snap the panels in one of three ways to set your weight:
- All panels (front and back): adds 10 lbs for men and 6 lbs for women.
- Front panels only: adds 5 lbs for men and 3 lbs for women.
- Back panel only: adds 5 lbs for men and 3 lbs for women.
What kinds of activities might need fit adjustments?
For running, plyometric exercises and any movement where your body is experiencing impact and force, keep the vest snug to hug your body. G‑Vests are uniquely designed to fit the contour of your body, so nothing will shake, chafe or distract you from dynamic movement. For slower, more steady movements like hiking and walking, you can wear the vest a little looser with a more relaxed fit. And for mixed format workouts where you might have intensive bursts of activity, you can quickly and easily cinch up the vest for a tight fit during work periods, then release cinch cords and unzip the vest to relax and cool down between sets.
