Frequently Asked Questions

From materials to care instructions, we’ve answered the most common questions to stay empowered.

Product Information

What sizes or weights do your vests come in?

Vervi weighted vests are available in 3kg, 5kg and 8kg options. Each weight is designed to suit different fitness levels and goals — whether you’re just starting out or building up.

How do I know which weight to start with?

We recommend starting with a vest thats around 5% - 10% of your body weight. When beginning, or when in doubt, start lighter - our 3kg weighted vest is perfect to begin - you can always go up as your strength builds.

If you already walk regularly or do strength training, 5kg may feel right.

8kg is best suited to those who are experienced with weighted walking and who are already comfortable carrying additional load.

Do I wear the vest under or over my clothes?

Vervi vests are designed to be worn over your clothes. They’re shaped to sit comfortably and securely without restricting movement, and they look good enough to wear over your clothes on your regular walks.

We don't recommend wearing them directly on your skin as they can't be washed. So if you're getting sweaty, it's best to sweat into your t-shirt.

Is it suitable for post-menopausal women?

Absolutely. Yes. Vervi vests suit women in perimenopause, menopause. and beyond.

Weighted walking is a low-impact way to support strength, cardio health, and overall wellbeing during this stage of life.

As always, if you have a medical condition or injury, check with your healthcare professional before starting.

What makes Curvi Comfort™ different?

Curvi Comfort™ is designed as a softer alternative to traditional weighted vests that use rigid plates or hard metal weights. Those vests rely on fixed weights that sit in pockets across the chest and back. They can feel bulky, uncomfortable and stiff when you walk. Curvi Comfort™ uses flexible weighting and soft fabric so it moulds to your natural shape. That means less digging, less bouncing, and a smoother feel through the torso and shoulders. Instead of feeling like armour, it feels integrated — secure, stable and comfortable enough for everyday walks.

Can I wear it for other workouts?

Always speak to your healthcare provider before starting something new. We recommend Vervi weighted vests for walking, and if comfortable, very light jogging. To avoid injury, we do not recommend the use of a weighted vest when doing chores or any exercises that require bending down or twisting.

Start light, build gradually, and pay attention to how your body responds — the goal is consistent, supported movement you can repeat comfortably.

Product care

How do I clean my Vervi vest?

Spot clean your vest with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed.

If it gets sweaty, let it air out or pop it in the sun to freshen it up.

Can I machine wash or tumble dry it?

No — Vervi vests should not be machine washed (or tumble dried).

Spot cleaning and airing out will keep your vest in great condition.

What’s the best way to store it?

Store your vest somewhere dry, well-ventilated and out of direct heat.

Hanging it on the back of a door or laying it flat helps maintain its shape and keeps it aired between wears.

Does it need special care after workouts?

Nothing complicated.

If it gets sweaty, let it air out or pop it in the sun for a bit. Spot clean only when needed. Avoid machine washing, soaking or tumble drying to protect the fabric and internal material.
