Please don't buy the GOruck bags
I've been using goruck for months now. Usually I do 30 pounds but have gone up to 45 here and there. I started with a cheap frame ruck. It was alright. I know how to adjust weight in bags to make them comfortable. My father was army for 22 years and taught me how to. But the rucker 4.0 is virtually

What are people buying now that Herschel shit the bed?
I've been happy with my fjallraven raven. I do like my goruck rucker gen 1, but it's hard to justify the price. If I was looking for something similar I'd look at CTactical. People have compared the goruck and CT bags on Reddit if you're considering.

Need recommendations for rucking backpack
If you’re planning to ruck heavy, cheap is not an option. It’s an option, I guess, if you don’t really like your back and potentially getting injured. Look on the used market for a Goruck Rucker or a military assault pack.

GoRuck vs Wild Gym vs Other
Unless you’re planning to throw your bag around on the ground and do CrossFit stuff, the GoRuck bags are completely unnecessary. GoRuck focuses on durability over comfort. I just ruck. I don’t do all that crazy stuff so I prefer comfort. Don’t get me wrong, WildGym bags are beasts too, but they are

Why no Wild Gym bag reviews?
I have a Wild Gym Feather Ruck. It’s very comfortable. I sold my Rucker 5.0 within a week of getting it. Goruck products are built like tanks, but I don’t need a tank on my back to take a walk around my neighborhood. Also, the Wild Gym bags have much better padding and comfort features.

Weighted walks
I use a proper rucking pack. Weighted vests are generally not for breasted people especially if they have more although GoRuck has some that look decent. I bought a GoRuck Rucker 4.0 20L and am up to 30lbs in that. I also purchased an Evergoods Mountain Loader 22L that I carry a 20lb plate in. I'm p

Beginner Product Advice
Can’t go wrong with a GoRuck 20L Rucker. More versatile than a plate carrier for sure. Overbuilt but you’ll never need to replace it.

Found a cheap rucking combo on amazon
I’m impressed that you tracked down a combination that fit, especially for a 30 Lbs plate. I consider the GoRuck Rucker pack to be a good deal even as expensive as it is because of how well it is put together, how well the padding works, how well they hold up to the abuse and their willingness to fi

Just discovered rucking, cheap options to start?
Yes, as weight increases - a purpose built bag will become more desirable (comfort) or even necessary (strength of construction). 5.11 Rush 12 on sale for $77USD right now. About $100+ less than a GoRuck Rucker’s best sale price. But at 25-30 - no reason not to just go with what you got.
