Looking to offer an alternative to working out in your armored plate carrier, LBT worked with the fitness community to develop a functional/stable weight vest capable of handling the stress of a high intensity workout.

The weight vest can hold standard 5 or 10 lb circular plates that can be found at almost any gym/fitness center, they also partnered with Sorinex to develop weight plates specific to the shape of the vest that will come in 5/8/10 lbs plate options, the plates can be purchased with the vest or without.

Unlike most weight vests, the LBT-WTV also comes with an elastic compression strap to keep the weight vest stable during running and inverted exercises.

Kit Badger Presents – NightFighter 101

Thursday, April 12th, 2018

In this post from Kit Badger, Ivan shares this video he created while attending the Viking Tactics NightFighter 101 course at SIG Academy.

He sent us this note:

This is the first shooting course review I have done, but I plan to do more. Shooting courses are one of those high ticket items between tuition, ammo, travel, etc. And I think by bringing some honest reviews of them I can hopefully save some people time and money by pointing them in the direction of the training / experience that they will get the most out of.

We’ve hit the highlights, check out the whole post at kitbadger.com/nightfighter-101-with-viking-tactics.
