Understanding Weighted Clothing (ID 6103)
The Weighted Clothing category, identified by the Google product taxonomy ID 6103, falls under Sporting Goods > Exercise & Fitness. This specific category is intended for fitness equipment designed to be worn on the body to increase resistance during workouts.
What belongs in this category
This category encompasses various types of wearable resistance gear found in the US market. Typical examples include:
- Adjustable weighted vests for strength training
- Tactical-style training vests for added load
- Neoprene or specialized fitness weighted vests
- Workout vests designed for cardio or bodyweight exercises
If a product is designed to add external weight to the wearer's body during physical exercise, it belongs here.
What does not belong here
Products that do not fit the specific definition of wearable resistance gear should be categorized elsewhere. Items like vibration exercise machines, aerobic steps, or exercise benches belong in their own distinct categories under Exercise & Fitness. Similarly, items such as hand exercisers, exercise bands, or balance trainers are excluded from this category. If you are selling exercise equipment mats or foam rollers, please ensure you select the appropriate neighbouring categories rather than this one.
How to update your feed
You may use either the ID 6103 or the full path: Sporting Goods > Exercise & Fitness > Weighted Clothing. While this attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your items. Ensure your product_type remains your own custom classification as it does not replace this required taxonomy field.
