    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.

      I saw “bulletproof vest” in the article but missed the “weighted or” part just before it. I did partial research before I posted. Lol.

        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

      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.

      Nobody is going to sue you for making fun of CrossFit. If they try, just show the court a video of people thrashing around with kettlebells and I think any judge would agree that CrissFitters are fucking stupid.
