Exactly what I needed! Fits great, easy to use and very convenient!
Just absolutely nuked the stairmaster in this vest. Doesn’t bounce and versatile for cardio. Also hit back extensions or pull ups
Well made. I'm very happy with the quality of the nordstick pro. Took awhile to receive but it was super easy to put together.
So freaking comfortable. Super easy adjustment for the perfect fit and when the workout becomes too difficult you can easily take off weight within probably 10 seconds without taking the whole vest apart. Material and durability seems solid. Nothing feels cheap. Looks pretty cool too.
I AM OBSESSED.
I have searched everywhere for a vest that actually feels secure enough, is comfortable, and adds enough weight to feel like it’s actually doing something (for context I’m a female, fitness coach and have been strength training regularly for years).
This vest is PERFECT. I loveeee the fact that you can adjust the weight by easily clipping on more, or leave it off. It’s easy to get on and off.
I’ve been adding it to my daily walks and it’s definitely helped improve my cardio and change my body composition in new ways by the added resistance.
The Velcro is super grippy and secure, where as many other brands I’ve tried had a small strap where it would easily give after a few months of use.
10/10 RECOMMEND!!
I’ve been doing CrossFit for a few years and weight vest training is nothing new to me. I’ve gone through multiple plate carriers over the years, and comfort has always been a compromise — until I tried the Hybrid Vest.
The fit and adjustability are on another level. Being able to adjust the weights individually, without having to swap out an entire plate, makes a huge difference in how I set up for different workouts. It saves time and gives me way more control over my load.
What really sets it apart is the ability to convert it into a half vest, which makes it perfect for running. I no longer have to choose between a bulky setup that slows me down and leaving the vest behind altogether.
If you do CrossFit or any kind of functional fitness training, this is the vest to get. Hands down the most comfortable and versatile weight vest I’ve used.
As advertised. I’d say they’re exaggerating a bit when they say it’s 9 machines in 1 but for the nordic curl, dips, and slant board, it’s a pretty good replacement. With the band/bar accessories you can get some decent upper and lower body workouts in, but overall — more for a rainy day in than a gym replacement.
Overall product quality is solid. Assembly was a bit of a hassle though, and once assembled, the product does need a good bit of tightening all around. It comes a bit wobbly out of the factory.
I’ve really enjoyed using HybridVest in my workouts. The fit is comfortable, the quality feels great, and it stays secure during movement. It’s an easy way to add intensity to training without feeling bulky or restrictive. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take their workouts to the next level.
Best vest I’ve ever owned. So comfortable on the shoulders and the overall fit.
Easy to switch between full and half vest. Highly recommend.
Easily the best weighted vest on the market. As a clinician, gym owner, and HYROX athlete, I’ve tried countless weighted vests - the Hybrid Vest is second to none. It’s actually comfortable, easy to change, and makes training with a vest more enjoyable.
Hi Dr. Case! Coming from someone with your experience in clinics, gyms, and competitive athletics, that's incredible feedback! So glad it's making weighted vest training more enjoyable for you. Thanks for the strong recommendation and support! 💪
Hybrid is the perfect name. Whether you are running or lifting you can easily adjust this vest to what you need. It’s also great to share with my wife. One vest that we can both use since it’s so easy to drop the weight. Have done a couple runs and burpee sessions with no chafing too!!
Hi Phil! Love that you and your wife are both getting use out of it and that the comfort is there for both runs and burpees! Thanks for the support! 💪
The vest I’ve been waiting for. I’ve tried a lot of vest options but nothing seemed the right fit for me. I wanted something comfortable without a shirt, adjustable and streamlined. From the first time I put it on I knew this was the one. Great for adding a little bit of weight to my garage workouts and my hiking & running. Perfect for my needs.
Hi Chris! So glad your search is over and you found exactly what you needed! Thanks for giving us a shot and for the support! 💪
Great vest! I did a run with all the weights ! It doesn’t bounce and is comfortable! Even in the rain !
Hi there! Love that you took it out in the rain and it performed flawlessly! Thanks for the awesome support! 💪
Fits like a glove. Comfortable on the skin even without a shirt underneath there's no irritation. Perfect for any workout I'm doing.
Hi Reece! Love hearing it's performing flawlessly across all your workouts! Thanks for the support! 💪
This vest is awesome! It is incredibly comfortable and versatile. It is fully adjustable for different body types and it’s a bonus that it looks great too. I am going to use this whenever I workout!
Hi Michael! Love that it's going to be part of every workout! Thanks for the elbow and knee sleeves idea—we appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the incredible support! 💪
The Hybrid Vest is awesome. The construction is top quality and the materials are both durable and comfortable. Importantly, the vest does not move around while working out, making it feel like just an extension of my body when working out. So glad I have added the Hybrid Vest to my workout gear!
Hi Jon! So glad it's become such a key part of your workout arsenal! Thanks for the feedback and for the awesome support! 💪
Amazing! I’ve been wanting to train my posterior chain in the best way possible and NordBench makes this possible. Such a great investment!
Hi Daegan! So glad you're getting exactly what you needed for your posterior chain training! Thanks for the 10/10 recommendation and for the support! 💪
As a fitness coach, I’m always looking for ways to make training more effective without overcomplicating things. The Hybrid Vest does exactly that. I’ve been using it for pull-ups, dips, push-ups, lunges, and even my walks, and the difference is immediate. It’s comfortable, doesn’t bounce around, and adds just the right amount of challenge. If you’re serious about building strength, endurance, and getting more out of your workouts, this vest is a game changer.
Hi there! Coming from a fitness coach who's putting it through that rigorous range of workouts, this feedback means so much! Thanks for the products ideas. We really appreciate it. Thanks for the incredible support! 💪
This has saved my life! I have been in lower back and hip pain for the past 2 years. This has been the only thing that has had staying power. I didn’t realize I stopped training postural chain, causing instabilities. Thank you NordStick!
Hi Odubiel! We're so honored you found what actually works and is sticking with you! Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey back to pain-free movement. That's what we're here for! 💪
Ditch the gym membership. Get a Nordbench Pro. Spend quality time with it. Free time with it. Follow a plan. Go to lowbackability.com. If you have a history of sciatica or hip impingement it's incumbent upon you to invest in your recovery. Getting a gym membership always teeters out after a while because you're in safety mode. The only way to take the time you need to beat this is to have one of your own.
It's a solid piece of gym equipment and with the leg extension add-on you can do a whole lot more with it. Do the right thing for future You. Invest in Yourself.
Thank you for your enthusiastic review! We're glad the NordBench Pro is helping you invest in your health and recovery. Enjoy your workouts!
Love my Nordbench and my Nordbench Pro. Best back extension machines I’ve ever used, way more comfortable and sturdy than the ones I’ve used in commercial gyms. I love how versatile they are, being able to do Nordic curls has really been a game changer and made my hamstrings and knees feel bulletproof. Being able to do back extensions in the comfort of my own home has helped me up my game in my lower back rehab journey and I wish I’d got one a lot sooner.
Hi Ollie! Love that you're a multi-product supporter and getting such impressive results across both! Thanks for the hip thrust and calf training ideas—we really appreciate the feedback. Here's to your continued strength journey! 💪
This wasn’t something that was on my radar, until it was. The bench feels solid and secure, with the exercises I’ve used it mostly for. I really enjoy the additional legwork it provides; Nordics, weighted back extensions, using the leg extension/curl attachment, heel elevation for my goblets, perched curls, inclined weighted sit ups; all have been welcome. The versatility has allowed me to add movements that were either difficult or impossible with my previous setup.
What surprised me most is how often I use it. It didn’t replace my old bench—it expanded what my home gym is capable of. Looking back, the NordBench Pro feels like the missing piece that brought everything together. It complements my rack, cables, dumbbells, and other equipment perfectly, making my workouts more efficient and giving me more exercise options without taking up excessive space.
If you’re on the fence like I was, I’d say this is one of those purchases that makes more sense once it’s actually in your gym and part of your routine. It has exceeded my expectations and has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of equipment.
I can’t say enough about the Nordbench Pro. It literally solves all my workout needs in one small compact machine. It save so much room in my gym being able to do so many things and not need multiple pieces of gym equipment. I’ve never seen customer service like this company offers its customers. Any questions or emails I got a response within an hour. Very easy to reach and actually care about providing a quality piece of equipment and customer service. I also ordered the leg press attachment and love it. I get a great workout on this versatile bench. Love it. Great product.
Bad highschool form left me with stress fractures in my lower lumbar..this machine is the only thing that effectively strengthens my lower back to provide me relief! Thank you!!
