To be fair, that’s a weighted vest that a lot of (mostly Crossfitters functional fitness types (I don’t want to get sued)) wear to make their workouts harder.
There’s no real such thing as a true bullet proof vest, unless you enjoy wearing 25lb steel plates; a ceramic armor vest is significantly lighter but are not rated to take more than a few impacts of 7.62mm or even a few 9mm for regular consumer grade restricted for non-military use armor
For women, wearing a weight vest actually legitimately helps reduce bone loss in the hips. Statistically marked improvements for women tested vs control group.

The one wearing a bulletproof vest telling others not to be weak. She’s not strong enough to stop bullets on her own?
I wonder what her secret girlfriend has to say about that.

I like turtles.
Nah that’s definitely body armor. I think it’s an oversized plate vest but she’s running, it’s all black, and I’m shit at identifying such things.

Weighted vests look significantly different than body armour. Also I haven’t seen any weighted vests that have a section of velcro for patches.
She’s wearing at least 3a.
