The ideal weight for training plates depends on your training objectives. Lightweight plates, typically made from foam or similar materials, are best for airsoft, milsim, or situations where mobility and comfort are priorities. Heavier plates can be used for fitness or endurance training, but for most tactical training, lighter plates allow for extended sessions without fatigue. For example, the PTS | SAPI Dummy Plates Front & Back | Medium weighs just 69g, making it exceptionally easy to wear for long periods. Similarly, the LBX Tactical - Nimbus Plate (Structural Foam) (Medium / Set of 2) offers a lightweight yet rigid alternative. With several ultra-light options available, users can select the weight that best matches their training style.
