50 LB V-MAX Long Weight Vest

50 LB V-MAX™ Long Weight Vest - CPAT Training & Testing

Dominate your CPAT with the 50 LB V-MAX™ Long Weight Vest. Engineered specifically for fire testing and training, this long-body design delivers a lower center of gravity that's ideal for stair climbing, walking, and the demanding movements of CPAT certification.

Why the Long Design Matters for CPAT

The extended length distributes weight lower on your torso, giving you better balance and stability during stair climbs, ladder raises, and forcible entry simulations. This is the vest fire departments recommend for CPAT preparation.
