    features of both

    purpose built for ruck plates

    Carry Ruck Plates® safely and securely, positioned high and tight on your back for natural stability. Purpose-built for rucking and PT, it’s designed to move with you through every challenge.

    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.

    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.

    OVERBUILT CONSTRUCTION

    Built from ultra-durable Cordura®, designed to withstand anything—without taking unnecessary wear from gravity when you’re smoked after a tough workout.

    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 and if it’s exposed to your skin, that’s no problem either.

    Rule #1

    Always Look Cool

    Carry that weight more comfortably, adhere to Rule #1: Always Look Cool, and have fun getting stronger. If you want the best tool for rucking and training, the Rucker® is it.
