The quest for the perfect layering piece is a common pursuit for anyone who values both comfort and functionality, especially when the elements are involved. GORUCK, known for their uncompromising approach to building gear that can withstand the rigours of any adventure, has answered the call with the Vest of Power. This isn’t just a vest; it’s a meticulously crafted piece of kit designed to keep you warm, comfortable, and ready for anything.


GORUCK built the Vest of Power from the ground up, recognizing the unique value of a well-designed vest as a layering essential. More than a t-shirt, yet less bulky than a full jacket, it occupies that sweet spot of adaptable warmth. The inclusion of multiple zippered pockets makes it a travel-friendly essential, keeping your valuables secure and easily accessible.



Beyond its practical attributes, the Vest of Power also makes a statement. In a world where “power vests” have become associated with certain ideologies, GORUCK takes a different approach. Their “politics,” as they put it, is represented by the American flag, proudly displayed in red, white, and blue. This reflects GORUCK’s core values: Building Better Americans, embracing the Special Forces ethos, and a life-or-death commitment to crafting the world’s toughest gear.

The Vest of Power is designed for warmth without the weight. Its highly breathable fabric ensures you won’t overheat, even during strenuous activity. The flexible arm openings allow for a full range of motion, so you’re never restricted in your movements. The fast-drying material keeps you comfortable even in damp conditions.


GORUCK has also incorporated several thoughtful details that enhance the Vest of Power’s functionality. A zipper garage on the front zipper prevents your facial hair from getting caught, a small but significant detail. Off-shoulder seams with a ToughDry® panel add durability and comfort when carrying a ruck or backpack. A zippered chest pocket with a lockdown YKK zipper securely holds your phone, while two external front pockets provide convenient hand-warming space. An internal pocket offers additional storage for other essentials. The badass GORUCK spearhead logo on the chest adds a touch of understated branding.



Like all GORUCK gear, the Vest of Power is built to last. It’s made in the USA and comes with GORUCK’s Scars Lifetime Guarantee, a testament to the brand’s confidence in the quality and durability of their products. The Vest of Power is more than just a garment; it’s an investment in a piece of gear that will perform reliably for years to come. It’s a reflection of GORUCK’s commitment to crafting gear that’s as tough and resilient as the individuals who wear it. It’s a vest that’s ready to help you unleash your inner ruck star.
