Product & Fit FAQs
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 initial launch includes three flexible sizes, and we're committed to extending if needed—based on customer feedback.
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 by several inches for comfort and security.

To find your size, use your bra band size or grab a soft measuring tape and measure around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Round down to the nearest even number:

Size 1 (XS/S)
- generally fits a 32” - 36” band size
- best for for AA-C cups

Size 2 (M)
- generally fits a 36” - 40” band size
- fits most cups B through DD (ideal for in-between builds)

Size 3 (L/XL)
- generally fits a 40” - 44” band size
- best for fuller cup sizes from C+ upward

Please reference sizing table image in product carousel.

Not sure where you land? If you’re a 36A, go with Size 1. A 36DD? Size 2. We recently had a 40DD say she’d prefer Size 3 for 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 adjustable for different body types or petite frames?

Most definitely. Our vests feature a front sliding bungee system and side cinches that adjust in circumference. 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.
How much weight can the vest hold?

The Carry Vest is modular and can hold up to 20 lbs using 0.5 lb removable/adjustable weights. You can add or remove weights to match your preference and fitness level.
Is the vest machine washable?

It sure is! Just remove the rubber weight racks and all weights before placing your shell in a garment bag and washing on gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Hang dry. Spot clean between washes with water or a mild soap. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean.
Are The Carry products non-toxic or PFAS-free?

Indeed. We use premium, non-toxic materials and avoid PFAS and other harmful chemicals. Safety and sustainability are part of our design ethos.
What are the weights made of? And what rubber is used in this weight system?

Our modular weight system features 0.5 lb iron weights, powder-coated for durability and shaped like hourglasses to sit comfortably against your body. These weights slide into a flexible EPDM rubber core, a non-toxic, recyclable material commonly used in the medical industry.

No sand, no shifting/leaking, no weird bulk. Just smart, streamlined strength that moves with you.
Can I purchase just the vest without the weights?

Yes! Our Beta Bundle includes 20lb of weights in order to get feedback from early supporters on our full system. You can also purchase just the vest shell as we release new colorways or come out with new fabric options or features without having to buy more weight. Better for the environment, and your bank account.
Will there be more color options?

We initially launched in black based on community feedback (over 60% voted for it!). And released cream one month later as part of our first production run—based on a steady stream of requests :).

Long term? We’re planning limited color drops, custom prints, and co-branded collabs so your vest can match your season, your mood, or your favorite set.

Congrats to you on a successful pre launch AND to me for continuing my health journey💪🏼!! Definitely in for the cream shell once released 🤗

“Ladies, this is absolutely phenomenal!! I’m a 51-year-old mom of four and so excited to support you.”
