NACIDO PARA RUCK

Rucking Está comprobado que quema grasa, desarrolla músculo, fortalece los huesos y mejora la postura. Los humanos evolucionamos específicamente para cargar cosas pesadas. Literalmente, estamos diseñados para ello (y los beneficios lo demuestran).

Listo para la hidratación

La mochila Basic Rucker® cuenta con un bolsillo lateral elástico diseñado para botellas de agua delgadas. En caminatas más largas, puedes sujetar tu bolsa de hidratación al anillo en D interno y usar el puerto de hidratación para llevar agua adicional, lo que te permitirá llegar más lejos y recuperarte mejor.

COMFORTABLE SHOULDER STRAPS

Our proprietary, dual density foam is built to keep your shoulders and back feeling good under short and long rucks, for years to come. The MOLLE webbing allows you to customize with a sternum strap, phone pouch, or other accessories of your choice.

Reflective Strip for Visibility

It can be hard enough finding the time to work out, don’t be limited by the daylight hours. The Basic Rucker features a 2” reflective strip for safe rucking in low-light conditions.

Easy-Access

Two side pockets on the Basic Rucker mean you can reach your stuff faster. One elastic pocket for a water bottle, and a sheath pocket for your phone, wallet, or snacks.

PROVEN MATERIALS

Ripstop ROBIC® is lightweight and water resistant while remaining tough as nails. Next to your skin on the underside of the straps and on the back panel, we use 210D CORDURA®, the same proven fabric from our Rucker 4.0 that does not irritate the skin when worn shirtless or with just a bra on.

20MM RAISED LUMBAR SUPPORT

Who knew what a difference a little raised padding could make. But it does! This is the same feature on our proven Rucker 4.0. It helps contour to your spine and provides additional comfort to your tailbone or lower back. Feeling is believing on this one, whether at mile 1 or mile 100.

Reviews

Does the job well

"easy to get plates into the pocket. comfortable on shoulders. easy to adjust straps. i like the cushion on the lower back. my only complaint is the water bottle pocket is a little small so it’s hard to get the water bottle back in without having to stop moving."

— Emma D. (4/5)

Great, stripped down, basic rucker

"Used the Basic Rucker 4x a week for the last four months. First half at 20 lbs, second at 30 lbs. A great beginner rucker, stripped down only for the essentials. Dropped to four stars as you lose comfort when moving up to 30 lbs. If you keep this to 20 lbs, it will fit like a dream. Moving up to a 5. 0 and 40 lbs soon, will keep the Basic Rucker set with 20 lbs for lighter days."

— RMG (4/5)

Got Rucked

"Basic Rucker is not basic. Great quality in material and build that held up in over 50 miles of rucking in just neighborhood walks. Added a water bladder where the basic Rucker has an opening for the hose to pull through for longer rucks. Backpack straps are strong, sturdy and make you develop tough skin to hold up the weight. The weight is snug in the built in pocket and I have never had to adjust it or felt it move as I ruck. Good stuff and if you are a beginner this is a great product to start."

— Tommy W. (5/5)

A Relationship Based on Your Word

"I have only used it half a dozen times, but I am impressed with its quality and engineering ot hold the plates up high no matter the movement. I was orignially drawn to GoRuck due to their American commitment and warranty. The testimony of friends pushed me further and the sale caught me. I highly recommend this product and if I needed to buy another one, I would willingly pay full price."

Great quality ruck!

"Works great the pack stays close on your back so you don't have any weird shoulder or back issues on longer rucks. I've put about 50 miles on it so far, only issue I've had is for me the left strap has been digging so hard into my arm that it starts to go numb. I've loosened it a bit but still needs more adjustment. Either way great purchase super durable and I can pull a weight out if my wife wants to use it."

— Nick K. (4/5)

Worth every penny

"I can’t say enough good things about this pack. I got the ranger green and love it. It looks better than it does in the pictures. It is sturdy and very well made. I started rucking about 6-7 months ago and used my camera bag, putting a dumbbell in the center slot where I’d have my long lens. Eventually I moved on to my Osprey Daylite 13L hiking pack, using a towel to wrap my ruck plate in and lift it up a bit. Then it was time to invest a real ruck pack. I’m so glad I did. The pack fit great immediately (I’m a 5”5” female). I cinch the straps up high and tight and the difference between this and my hiking pack is night and day. It’s truly worth it to get a proper rucksack. The only suggestion I have is to make the side pockets a little bigger. They’re too small for a water bottle, though this is fine with me. I always carry mine in my hand, anyway. Thank you for making this outstanding product! Highly recommend."

— Renee M. (5/5)

When in doubt Ruck it out!

"Already put about 7 miles on the backpack with the weight and its very stable. The support is fantastic and the quality is outstanding. I am very happy with my purchase. Love the fact that its a local company to Jacksonville Fl. Can't wait to put many more miles on it."

— JUSTIN B. (5/5)

Easy adjunct to add something to routine walking

"Bought the Basic Rucker and the deal came with two plates. I wanted something that would make my 30 minute walk every morning I do mainly as a chore to get a couple miles in walking the dog into a more productive use of time. It seems to be doing that. Increasing heart rates up a bit and adding just a little extra strain on my postural muscles. It’s now become just a part of the day and will be indefinitely."

— Max B. (5/5)

Awesome bag but. . . .

"I love Goruck and ive bought plenty from the EU store and I live in Ireland but when I go visit the US page it just looks so much better and there are better deals, please add some of the sexeness and deals to the drab EU site please, much love Neil"

— Neil S. (5/5)

So far, ok.

"I've used twice so far, the bag seems sturdy, and well made. I'm a little concerned about the fit. I do the bench press a little to much and my chest is larger than average, so the straps kind of dig into my pecs in an uncomforable way. I'll keep working with the adjustments and see if it improves. I don't know why the sternum strap isn't included with this (I bought one), and it seems like there should be a second pocket to go beyond 30lbs. There's plenty of room."
