This meetup is part of a series under The Carry Rucking Club events across Seattle and beyond—designed to make movement fun and approachable, while making you stronger.
About The Carry
The Carry is a women’s strength and longevity brand creating a new fitness modality through beautifully designed weighted vests, modular weights, and programming made for real life.
Co-founders Esther Sedgwick & Cortney Bigelow have spent the past two years building the brand and its flagship product: a premium weighted vest women actually want to wear.
They couldn’t find a vest they loved, so they made the best option for women on the market: comfortable, adjustable in weight, machine washable, functional, and designed to look as good as it performs.
The Carry is on a mission to help women build strength and age powerfully—one weighted step at a time. Join the movement.
Order The Carry Weighted Vest—Adjustable 20lb Bundle—limited quantities in this first production run.
