ELEVATED RUCK PLATE® POCKETS
The elevated plate pocket keeps the weight high and secure on your back, which is the preferred method for Rucking. This will help prevent any injuries or friction on your back. Both 20L and 25L Rucker feature 2 elevated plate pockets, one that holds 20LB or 30LB (Standard) Ruck Plates and one that holds a 45LB Plate, 20LB (Long), or 30LB (Long). This means your rucker can hold up to 75 lbs of weight. The 15L Rucker has one plate pocket that fits a 10LB, 20LB, or 30 LB Ruck plate.
ZERO IRRITATION WHEN RUCKING SHIRTLESS
Say goodbye to friction burn. 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps does NOT cause friction burn on your skin and it plays well with less durable fabrics like merino wool.
ERGONOMIC LUMBAR SUPPORT
An additional 10mm of EVA foam padding along the bottom section of the back panel supports the natural curve of your back. It’s raised up, protects you from friction from seams on pants, belts or Tough Leggings or anything back there. And if it’s exposed to your skin, that’s no problem either.
EXTRA PADDED STRAPS
Shoulder straps and top handle are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably. Our dual density foam will not collapse under the pressure.
OPTIMIZED FOR HYDRATION
Clip your hydration bladder into the interior d-ring with a carabiner and feed the hose through the exit port under the top handle of the ruck.
HIP BELT COMPATIBLE
Complete with side molle to integrate perfectly with the padded hip belt. The hip belt allows you to distribute heavy loads to your hips over long periods of time (think the GORUCK Challenge or Star Course) plus keeps the ruck stable during Ruck PT.
GET STARTED RUCKING
Rucking is the action of walking with weight on your back. Walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack) is a low impact exercise based on military training workouts.
The GORUCK Challenge was born in 2010 to serve as proving grounds for our gear before it went to war. 1,000 Events/year, 175,000+ participants and 200+ Special Forces Cadre later (with no end in sight), the Challenge is the only and most significant quality control program of its kind. No other gear is consistently put through more abuse, and The Rucker® thrives.
You Break It, We Fix It. All GORUCK built gear, apparel, and footwear comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
