Using a weighted vest as a diaper bag?

[sciencedude]

I've thought of maybe using a weighted vest as a diaper bag, or using a backpack, that is used for the same purpose as a weighted vest. That way, nobody asks why I'm carrying them around.

Does anybody know of any weighted vests, or maybe backpacks that could do both?

A weighted vest? Not sure how that actually works for carrying around diapers and wipes and such. But maybe I am misunderstanding what you are talking about. Tnhe weighted vests I am familiar with have slots for actual weights and no such larger compartments for inserting something such as a diaper.

My suggestion is simply caring around a gym bag. Seems like most everyone would just figure you have gym clothes in there and pretty darn discrete.

Probably any sort of backpack/knapsack will work as a diaper bag, and those are common enough.

If you're getting into rucking, you could do what I did when I started working up to backpacking: I started with an old knapsack and tossed a book in it (a paperback). Then I added another, and another, then a hardcover, .... until I was carrying as much as the knapsack would support (~8kg). Then I bought a Real Backpack and kept going until I had enough "useful load" for a full set of camping gear and supplies (~18kg).

If you don't have a lot of books around (I do, I'm old school ) fill some water bottles: water is pretty heavy.

And probably no one is going to be tempted to look in there.
