ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zelus Fitness announces the Summer 2025 launch of its latest weighted vest model: the Zelus Z-Vest. This innovative weighted vest is powered by the company's exclusively patented Z-Fit technology and is specially designed for a more lifestyle-friendly weighted vest: slim, sleek, versatile, and wearable for a variety of uses.
The new Z-Vest specifically incorporates innovative science, ergonomics, and innovation to create a wellness-focused weighted vest that meets the needs of modern fitness enthusiasts more comprehensively, particularly women seeking effective, low-intensity ways to stay active.
The New Technology Behind the Zelus Z-Fit Weighted Vests
The Zelus Z-Vest leverages a proprietary silicone-coated iron powder material for a firm, ergonomic, and comfortable fit that does not sag, shift, or create painful pressure points during use. This is achieved through one-piece injection moulding, a strategy that ensures even weight distribution, superior flexibility, and unmatched comfort.
The Zelus Difference: Silicone-Coated Iron vs. Iron Sand
Whereas iron sand vests sag over time and cause uneven loading, Zelus' Z-Fit technology guarantees stable, consistent weight distribution. The washable design also ensures a cleaner, fresher feel, which is a testament to Zelus' long-term commitment to durability and user comfort.
The result is a sleek, comfortable vest that feels natural to wear, whether on a walk, during housework, or in a workout session. The new Zelus Z-Vest launches Summer 2025 in three weight options:
Zelus Z-Fit Vests: Meeting the Needs of Everyday Women
Zelus Z-Fit vests have quickly become the go-to weighted vests for women. Market figures show that women account for over 60% of Z-Vest users, with two distinct groups accounting for the majority of daily users:
i. Female Walkers
Weighted Z-Fit Vests have quickly become a favorite amongst women embarking on "painless weight loss" through low-intensity walking. From office workers to freelancers to stay-at-home mums, adult women are finding the Z-Fit Vest particularly suited to their way of life and specific exercise goals.
"Not only do I practically wear my Z-Fit every day, but I have actually been taking longer walks recently," Says Evelyn Briar, a Freelance Writer from New Jersey. " It is really thin, fits nicely, and does not inconvenience me in any way. When you are focused, you just keep going."
With the comfort and ease of use of the Z-Fit Vests, these women are building bone density, reducing osteoporosis, while building sustainable exercise habits.
ii. Home-Based Micro-Fitness Users
Women aged 25-45: The Z-Fit Weighted Vests are also a favorite for mothers who fit 10-20 minute workouts into their household routines. The adjustable chest and side straps provide a secure fit for chest sizes 34"-42.5", allowing for free movement during any activity.
"I have vests that are thicker than my Z-Fit Vest," Mary Wood, 35-year-old mom, says. "I can walk around the house in it without bumping into stuff here and there. I have the 10 lb model, and it is great: just as heavy as you need it to be, but not cumbersome at all".
From stair climbing to guided workouts, these women are relying on the Z-Vest to boost calorie burn, tone muscles, and fight a sedentary lifestyle.
A Word From Zelus
"Our Z-Fit technology completely reimagines what a weighted vest can be," says the Head of Product Design at Zelus. "We wanted to create a vest that empowers everyday users, especially women, to integrate health seamlessly into their routines without sacrificing comfort or lifestyle. With the Z-Fit Vest, you don't have to choose one or the other: you can have both at once."

SEOUL, South Korea, April 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HD Construction Equipment, the intermediary holding company of HD Hyundai's construction equipment business, will be expanding its commitment to nurturing global technical talent in the construction machinery sector by supporting Vietnam's national team for WorldSkills.
HD Construction Equipment announced on Sunday, April 5 that it signed a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Hanoi with the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training, or DVET, under the Vietnamese Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, and the Central College of Transport No. 1 (CCT1), a local vocational training college. The agreement aims to support Vietnam's participation in the WorldSkills competition.
Under this agreement, HD Construction Equipment will assist with the entire process—from training to competition entry—for the Vietnamese national representative competing in the Heavy Vehicle Maintenance category at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, scheduled for this September.
The company plans to offer comprehensive technical training to Nguyen Xuan Khanh, who was selected as the national representative last year. Furthermore, the company will cover all expenses related to this training, including airfare, registration fees, and accommodation, in order to create an optimal environment for the competitor to maximize his performance.
In July of last year, HD Construction Equipment signed an MOU with CCT1, which includes the Green and Smart Construction Equipment Talent Project. This initiative is part of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)'s inclusive business program. The collaboration aims to support the development of smart equipment in Vietnam and to create localized training curricula.
The company has deepened its commitment to Vietnam through a series of key initiatives, including hosting government officials and instructors for training in October, supporting national skills trials in November, and awarding scholarships.
An official from HD Construction Equipment stated, "This collaboration is not just a one-time event; it is part of our commitment to sustainable, locally integrated business practices. We will continue to foster Vietnam's young technical talents, helping them compete on the global stage."
