Size up if you are blessed with a taller frame, fuller bust, or like a looser fit. Size down for shorter torsos or a tighter fit.
Note: front cinch adjusts up to 6", each side cinch adjusts up to 4" for a secure fit.
–
We celebrate all shapes and sizes. With front and side cinch bungee systems, our vest expands and hugs in all the right places. We adjusted our sizing based on real fit feedback from exchanges—vests now run fuller through the bust to better support larger cup sizes.
Size 1 (XS/S) - best for smaller bands (32"-34") with AA-C cups & shorter torsoes - check the chart above if you're D+ at a 32" band—the front cinch may still bring you into this size
Size 2 (M) - our most flexible size, spanning the widest range of bands and cups - check the chart above for your exact band + cup combo
Size 3 (L/XL) - best for larger bands (38”-42”) with a fuller DD+ cup & longer torsoes - check the chart above if you're between sizes
Between sizes or unsure? Email support@thecarry.co with your band and cup—we'll recommend a fit.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 63 reviews.
Absolutely LOVE my vest!! I ordered a small and it fits perfectly!! For reference I’m 5’5’’ and 125lbs. The weighed adjustable spines fit to your body, as if it was made for your curves. Adjusting the weights is easy. And the zipper pockets make loading/unloading your weights even easier. The laundry bag for the wash is greatly appreciated and definitely comes in handy! The material is very comfortable. There was no chemical smells or plastic odor of any kind upon receiving my vest. Last but not least, the adjustable chest straps make fitting your vest to you, your very best fit!🤘❤️🤘💯
Excellent customer service. There was a mistake with my order and they emailed me immediately and sent the part within a few days. Love the fitted design and pockets. Recommending to several of my perimenopausal friends now!
Love my vest and customer service is fantastic! I preordered and truly appreciated the regular updates on the process, delays and shipping. When my vest arrived, customer support helped me determine that I ordered the correct size for the best possible fit; they responded quickly and thoroughly. I have worn my vest numerous times; it’s comfortable right out of the box, easy to put on/take off and simple to adjust the weight. The pockets make it easy to keep a phone secure but handy in a hike. I highly recommend this vest if you are thinking of adding rucking to your exercise routine.
Top-tier craftsmanship all around. The adjustable weights and sleek, form-fitting design make all the difference. After 20 years in the military dealing with bulky plate carriers, this is a massive upgrade. It’s comfortable, looks great, and is an easy way to level up my daily walks and overall functional strength now that I'm 46. Finally, weighted gear that actually feels good to wear. I’m in love!!
I found The Carry Vest at Faces of Fitness this year and have been absolutely obsessed with it since! It was the challenge I didn’t know I needed in my daily routine. I’ve added it into my aerial practice, strength training, and HIIT workouts, and I can’t wait to keep challenging myself in new ways 🙂
It’s SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about exercise equipment. Thank you for making such a comfortable product - it’s just above and beyond better than anything else I’ve tried!
What I love about the vest is the incredible thought that went into its fit specifically for women, from how it can be loaded, to sizing, to the fact that this ultra runner could reuse her water bladder in it. It feels comfortably "uncomfortable," and I am excited to see the variety of training and active recovery I can unlock with it!
The search is over…I finally found the perfect weighted vest @thecarry.co ~ For me it’s about the weight workout these days and this vest has interchangeable weights - it’s so cute AND has a pocket for my phone! The founders are 2 badass women who have done all the work. Join me “vesties” because trust me STRONG LOOKS GOOD ON YOU.
Pre-ordered and recieved my vest in July 2026. It is definitely better designed for women than any other weighted vest I've tried or seen.
I ordered a size 3, per the size chart, and at first thought it fit correctly even though I had to cinch the front almost all the way. Now a few months on it is clearly too loose (and my body hasn't changed that much!). I have to cinch it all the way, which makes snapping the closures hard (especially when my fingers are cold) and unsnapping to take it off nearly impossible because of how the fabric overlaps (not to mention the loong trails of cinch cord sticking out). A couple times I've had to lift it off by pulling it over my head -- which I definitely shouldn't be able to do. I can't run with it as it is too loose and bounces painfully. I wear a 34H/36G bra, am a size 12/14, and have a very long torso for reference, but should clearly be in a smaller size. So I would strongly recommend trying it out pretty extensively within the exchange window! I am disappointed that my only option now would be to spend another $200 to size down to a new shell. For the moment I'm just using it once a week for leisurely walks, instead of the more intense usage I would go for if it fit properly.
Store owner replied:
Hi Heidi! Thank you for your review and for being part of The Carry community! We’re sorry to hear your vest is no longer fitting as you’d hoped. We’re glad you reached out to our support team and hope the alternative solution we offered via email helps make getting into the right size a little easier.
Thank you also for highlighting the importance of trying on your vest as soon as it arrives to ensure the right fit! We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your Carry Vest, so please don’t hesitate to reach back out if we can help further!
This has everything I've been looking for in a weighted vest. You can adjust the weight, change the positioning of the front straps, it has pockets, the ability to hold water, and it sits in the right place for my anatomy. It's a bit of a splurge for me but it's exactly what I wanted and needed.
As I compared vests to buy, I kept coming back to The Carry for its quality and thoughtful details. It was more than I anticipated spending as a teacher, but after a few weeks of use, I am sure it was worth the investment. It is comfortable to wear on my long walks, and I am so glad I can adjust the weights. I did find the bungee cords a bit tricky at first, but a follow-up email after purchase included a helpful tutorial.
Apparently I Should Have Ordered Two
I was so excited about my new weighted vest! It was super easy to set up, I tried it on, and it fit perfectly. Comfortable, easy to adjust, exactly what I was hoping for.
And then my teenage son discovered it.
He put it on, declared it basically the greatest thing ever, grabbed the dog, and headed out for a run. I haven’t seen the vest since. 😂
So, I can confidently say it’s a hit for all ages.
A word of caution to fellow moms: If you’re ordering one for yourself and you have a teenage boy in the house, save yourself the trouble and just add two to your cart. Apparently weighted vests are very cool now. Who knew?
I finally got around to opening my Carry! It is gorgeous! The packing is pristine and so quality. Obsessed with the vest. Immediately upon putting it on it’s SO much more comfortable than my Amazon one. I am going to get SO much use out of this. Happy we have our treadmill right now too with this smoke! It’s also incredibly intuitive to put together. I love the material. You guys really nailed every single check box ☑️ Congratulations!!!!! Your hard work is so apparent. 🫶🏻
I’ve been absolutely loving my vest. I’ve been wearing it during strength training workouts and when I’m on the treadmill walking on an incline. I absolutely love how it is flexible to work over having had a mastectomy. Right now, I only have an implant on one side because I had a massive infection on the other, so it’s really been nice that I can use the vest when I’m at mid-reconstruction comfortably.
So glad everything worked out and I’m able to start using my vest now! I took it out to walk the dog and I am a very happy and comfy customer! I even have maybe like 4ish inches left of room on my lower bungee for when I may need another layer and look all cute like the insta girlies! Thanks again for all the support! Happy customer here!
My vest came it’s just so beautiful (never thought I’d say that about fitness gear) and high quality! My husband is super impressed too. I can’t wait to strut around my neighborhood with this vest!
I wore my Carry Vest during a weight training workout with my trainer yesterday (the smoke in the east coast was too brutal to be outside). We both loved how comfortable it was during my lifting session. The fabric was breathable and my range of motion was not impacted at all. Love your product!
Hey guys, just wanted to say my wife is OVER THE MOON happy with her vest that just landed today! The wait was tough but it was well worth it. Really excited to watch you guys grow.
I waited a super long time to receive The Beta Bundle and I just finished setting it up. Thank you SO much for making a quality product. A size small fits really well and thus far, it feels great. Just wanted to say thank you cuz the wait was worth it!
I love wearing it daily on walks with my dog and having it as an option for weighted exercises. The fit is secure, the pockets are perfect, and it's cute!
I've been dealing with shoulder impingement for the last few months and had to drop all strength training sessions. Doing bodyweight workouts with the weighted vest has been such a game changer. I feel like I can still do meaningful workouts or walks now even though I've had to significantly change my workout routine. THANK YOU!
I just got it but so far it’s excellent. I have a large chest (32G) and narrow waist and it’s great to have something that fits my curves! The materials are exceptional and the wash bag is a very nice, unexpected touch. The pockets are so thoughtfully designed. I’m really happy with it and - neck area design aside- think it’s a total game changer! Congrats and good luck!! Can’t wait to buy it for family for Christmas!
Just used mine for the first time today since delivery and I’m obsessed! 😍 So chic, so well made. I’ve been using one off Amazon and the difference is huge. Thanks for making such an awesome product that’s so thoughtfully designed. It was well worth the wait.
Do you offer different sizes, including plus sizes and bust-friendly fits?
Yes. Our vests are designed to be bust-friendly and adjustable for a wide range of bodies. Our shells come in three flexible sizes, and we're committed to expanding based on customer feedback.
Is the vest adjustable for different body types or petite frames?
Most definitely. Our vests feature a front sliding bungee system and side cinches that adjust circumference by several inches. This lets you dial in a secure, body-hugging fit—whether you're petite, curvy, or somewhere in between. It moves with you, not against you.
What size should I order?
The Carry Vest comes in three adjustable sizes—1, 2, and 3—designed to fit a range of bust and body types. Each vest includes a front bungee and side cinch system that lets you customize the fit for comfort and security.
To find your size, use your bra band size or measure around your ribcage directly under your bust with a soft measuring tape. Round down to the nearest even number:
Size 1 (XS/S) - best for smaller bands (32"-34") with AA-C cups & shorter torsoes - check the chart above if you're D+ at a 32" band—the front cinch may still bring you into this size
Size 2 (M) - our most flexible size, spanning the widest range of bands and cups - check the chart above for your exact band + cup combo
Size 3 (L/XL) - best for larger bands (38”-42”) with a fuller DD+ cup & longer torsoes - check the sizing table here if you're between sizes
Not sure where you land? If you're a 36A, go with Size 1. A 36DD? Size 2. A 40DD? Size 3 gives more room.
Still unsure? Email us at support@thecarry.co with your height, weight, and bra size—we're happy to help you find your fit.
Is the vest machine washable?
It sure is. Just remove all four spines and weights before placing your shell in a garment bag and washing on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent. Hang dry. Spot clean between washes. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean.
Are The Carry products non-toxic or PFAS-free?
Yes. We use premium, non-toxic materials and avoid PFAS and other harmful chemicals. Safety and sustainability are part of our design ethos.
What materials are used for your weight system?
The weight system features 40 individual 0.5 lb solid metal bars—coated with AkzoNobel PFAS-free and RoHS compliant powder coating for durability.
The weight bars slide into the spines—flexible TPE weight racks made from thermoplastic elastomer, a non-toxic, rubber-like material that's both recyclable and body-safe.
No sand, no shifting, no bulk. Just smart, streamlined strength that moves with you.
Will there be more color options?
Our core collection currently includes Black and Cream, with new colorways in the works for 2026. Because the weights are modular and removable, they transfer seamlessly between shells whenever you're ready to switch up your look.
