Aion
Where can I buy Aion gear?
Aion offers products exclusively through our website. We’re building a thriving community (online and IRL) based on our shared mindset and our focus on achieving greatness.
How do I pronounce “Aion”?
Aion is pronounced like "ion." Inspired by the concepts of eternity and longevity, we aim to give you more vitality and help you make the most of your time.
What are the benefits of resistance vests or clothing?
Studies have shown that resistance clothing has numerous health benefits.
That includes:
- Enhanced physical well-being
- Optimized athletic performance
- Improved muscle development
- Higher caloric expenditure
- Increased bone density
- Improvements in posture, stability and mind-body connection
By combining the proven science behind resistance clothing with a compression fit and our proprietary Dynamic Resistance™ technology, we’ve created vests that are above and beyond anything that’s been offered before.
What makes Aion different from other Workout Vests?
Aion is the first to combine compression, Dynamic Resistance™ technology and premium-grade fabrics in one vest. Unlike other vests that stress your back or neck muscles, the resistance from Aion vests feels like it’s part of your body, pushing your system to work harder while maintaining a healthy posture.
Product
Do Aion products run true to size?
Most Aion products are true to size, but due to our compression fit, sizing can vary. For the best fit, please refer to our size guide.
How do I clean my Aion Vest?
Our vests are antimicrobial, so clean only when necessary. For quick cleaning, use a gentle all-purpose wipe or a microfiber towel with mild soap. If odors arise, use a gentle antibacterial spray (we recommend the brand Biom). For a deeper clean, rinse with cold water, lather with baby shampoo, and rinse until the water runs clear. Lay flat to dry in a ventilated area for 24 hours.
Please refer to our user manual for detailed cleaning instructions.
How do I store my Workout Vest?
The Workout Vest is best stored by laying it on a flat surface. This ensures an optimal fit and maintains both the built-in resistance and compression fabrics.
How do I know which vest to choose? When should I wear each vest?
The Workout Vest is intended to be worn during athletic activity. That includes strength training, plyometrics, stretching, running, walking, hiking, active recovery and other similar activities. The Boardroom Vest is meant to be worn during daily life when you’re not specifically exercising—when you’re at work, at home, running errands or commuting.
What materials are used in the Workout Vest?
The Workout Vest is made from high-grade antimicrobial neoprene fabric and stainless steel weights. Neoprene is extremely durable and helps create the compression fit of the vest, while the steel weights are designed to be perfectly centered on your chest and back to improve posture and provide a balanced load so you can perform at your best.
What materials are used in the Boardroom Vest?
The Boardroom Vest is made from faux suede with a quilted texture and refined stitching, which creates a durable and comfortable fit. The placement of the weights is specifically designed to pull your shoulders back, open up your frame, and encourage good posture.
How heavy are the resistance vests?
Women's Workout Vest: 4.78 - 5 lbs depending on size.
Men’s Workout Vest: 7 - 12.52 lbs depending on size.
Women's Workout Crop: 4 lbs across all sizes.
Men’s Boardroom Vest: 5.5 lbs across all sizes.
Why aren't the vests heavier?
We designed our vests with lighter weight than your typical weighted vest. The resistance is evenly distributed across your upper body, with about 3-5% of your body weight. This helps challenge your muscles and cardiovascular system without overloading you, while keeping you mobile and comfortable—no strain on your neck or shoulders. But the Aion vest isn’t just about the weight! It’s the first-ever vest to combine resistance, compression, and heat capture. We brought together the best features from top wellness tools to really elevate your performance through every workout.
Is the Workout Vest waterproof?
While the Aion weighted vest is designed to handle moisture and can be cleaned using water, it is not fully waterproof. The vest is resistant to light water exposure, such as rinsing or spot cleaning, but we recommend avoiding full submersion or extended exposure to water. For best care, follow the recommended cleaning instructions and allow the vest to dry thoroughly after any cleaning.
Please refer to our user manual for detailed cleaning and usage instructions.
Can the Boardroom Vest be worn while exercising?
The Boardroom Vest is not intended for exercising. It should be worn outside the gym as you’re going about your daily life.

What is Dynamic Resistance™?
Aion vests are engineered with Dynamic Resistance™—a precise combination of weight, compression, and heat capture—strategically distributed across your upper body. We call it Dynamic Resistance™ because it's more than just added weight; it works with your body, integrating compression and heat to enhance movement, endurance, and recovery. As the first-ever vest to combine all three elements, Aion merges the best features of top wellness tools to push your performance further in every workout.

What’s my role in giving back?
When purchasing an Aion vest, you’ll select a nonprofit during the checkout process that will receive a donation from us. You can also share the Aion story with friends and family and we’ll donate for each of their vest purchases, too.
Why does Aion believe in making an impact?
As detailed in his book “The Gravity of UP,” our founder Brent Yates was able to transform his life through the help of his family and community. Since the beginning, the Aion brand has been committed to serving the people around us and lifting them up.
