In the field, readiness isn't optional. Before co-founding GORUCK, Emily McCarthy served as a CIA field agent where training wasn’t about image, it was about survival.
When founding GORUCK, she brought that same mindset home: build gear that performs when it matters.
The Spy Ruck is her latest mission, built for women like her, and women like you.
Sleek reflective logo and safety stripes ensure you’re always visible even on the darkest nights.
Low-profile design that contours to your body. Wear under a hoodie or over a tee, no one has to know you're training but you.
Our dual adjustable sternum strap gives you all the flexibility you need to make the right fit.
Weighted with specialty-coated steel pellets that won’t corrode, stink, or shift over time.
Available in 8 lb, 12 lb, and 16 lb options, each perfectly balanced for even weight distribution, helping you build strength safely and stay consistent.
Every woman’s got a mission and they don’t all look the same. Some are chasing the next promotion, some are chasing peace, and some are chasing the next horizon.
But they all share the same drive to keep moving forward. The Spy Ruck was built for her, for you, to move with strength, purpose, and momentum.

"Perfect fit for the warmer weather. Material is breathable in tshirt or tank top. Not irritating under the arms in a tank top. Bought because I needed something less bulky to do a 50 mile ruck challenge for soldier suicide awareness. Very happy with my purchase"
"I bought this for my wife after traditional rucks didn't work for her. The regular rucks had straps that cut across he chest and the backs cut into her lower back. (she is quite petite). She loves the spy ruck and wears it everywhere. Definitely designed with the female body in mind."
"Got the 8 and 12lb versions to add some weight to my morning walks. Great fit, very comfortable and super sturdy. These will definitely hold up to everything I will put them through! The 16lb is definitely in my future. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you GoRuck, and love to Monster 🐾"
"The weight is well distributed and sits comfortably on the shoulders. Chest is conforming and doesn’t crush the chest which makes it ideal for females who will run with it on. Great product!! Well made and durable."
"Loving my new vest. Feels so comfortable and the weight is evenly distributed. Doesnt hurt my back and actually feels like it’s improving my posture while I’m walking!"
"Very great to use. Used it a couple of times. Will say that the right side feels heavier than the left. Or it’s not as cushioned as the left. Other than that it’s great"
"Fits good. I have a small frame, so I have it adjusted to the smallest it’ll go. I can definitely feel the difference in the 8# and a 5# vest I had. It would be nice if it had a loop for keys to clip on. Good little work out on my walks with the dog!"
"I used it for a dog walk the day it came in the mail. It fits perfectly. And it is easy to grab, put on and go. Or wear while I do house/yard work. I can feel the extra work my body is doing while wearing the vest. Thank you, again."
"Love it! Great material, fits perfectly! It has worked wonders for a new mom here that wants to burn extra calories while taking the baby for a stroll."
"The vest fits well and is comfortable. I definitely sweat more if wearing this to do my workout! Once I get used to using this & pound vest, I’d like to increase to the 12 pound vest."
