Best rucking backpack?

The standard answer is a GORUCK Rucker with plates. Given that in 60 days you will be training with what they give you, I am not sure that it matters what you use right now. Not knowing your current fitness level, I am thinking the one thing you will gain in that time is strengthening your traps. If

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

So.. play sand just saved me 90 euro

If one wants plates, Yes4All plates are like 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of Goruck plates and will fit great as long as you pick the right sizes (you can stack 2 x 15lbs on top of each other in the Rucker pockets, for example).

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.

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.
