Coach Drew's Favorites
The ultimate weighted sleeve for runners and cardio athletes. The KILOGEAR Performance Calf Sleeves are engineered to turn every stride into a strengthening opportunity. This 2-pack provides a secure, "no-slip" compression fit that keeps weights anchored firmly against the calf during high-impact movement. Featuring integrated weight pockets, these sleeves utilize our .25LB KILOMICRO™ weights to increase metabolic burn and build lower-body endurance without changing your natural gait.
The ultimate tool for unilateral arm training. The KILOGEAR Training Sleeve is designed for athletes who need targeted resistance on a single limb. Sold as a single sleeve, it features a lightweight, breathable design to keep you cool during high-intensity movement. Engineered with integrated weight pockets along the arm, it utilizes our .25LB KILOMICRO™ weights to build sport-specific power, endurance, and coordination. Perfect for baseball, tennis, and injury rehab.
A doctor-designed weighted vest for youth athletes featuring 12 weight pockets to build strength, coordination, and agility safely.

FAQ
Is weighted gear safe for young athletes?
Yes. KILOGEAR uses light, distributed resistance designed to support natural movement. When used appropriately, it helps build strength and control without overloading the body.
Will this change the runners form?
No. The gear is designed to move with the body, not against it. The resistance is subtle and balanced to support proper form, posture, and efficient movement.
How should athletes use weighted gear for running?
Weighted pieces are best used during warm-ups, short training sessions, or controlled runs. Many athletes also wear them during everyday movement to build strength gradually.
How much weight should an athlete start with?
Always start light. We recommend beginning with the lowest load and increasing gradually as strength and comfort improve.
Is this only for competitive athletes?
Not at all. KILOGEAR is used by runners of all levels, from beginners to competitive athletes. It’s designed to support strength development at every stage.
What pieces are best for runners?
Coach Drew loves the QUAD shorts. Besides the QUAD shorts, options like forearm bands, calf sleeves, and weighted vests are popular with runners because they support form, posture, and stride efficiency.
How does this help prevent injury?
By building strength and stability gradually, KILOGEAR helps support better movement control and muscle balance, which are important for long-term running health.
