Reviews
Perfect from delivery to execution
"Great purchase. The plates where delivered in perfect condition. Box held up perfectly. The weights took some effort to put in new vest but fit super snug. No bouncing around and vest was amazing. Been on three rucks and can’t wait to put more hurting on the equipment."

Best weight vest ever
"Great purchase, I love the weight distribution it helps me keep good posture. I like how my arms feel free, and the shape of the wight helps with my breathing."

Really happy with the purchase - regret waiting this long to pull the trigger
"I've only got 5 or 6 sessions of road work in with these but loving the challenge thus far. I'm at 190lbs so started with the 20lb all-in kit and its a really nice change up to my walking routine post strength training. Great quality materials so far. I do agree with a few of the reviews that the side straps could be about 2 inches longer. I'm able to strap up with the last 1 inch or so of velcro but afraid that may wear down long term."

Comfortable and ergonomic weight vest
"I use this to do a HIIT work out in the morning. It lets me perform burpees, man-makers, pull-ups, sandbag tosses, AirBike, kettle bell swings and bear crawls without any issue or abrasions to my under arms. Highly recommend. I would only suggest creating a better standardization for sizing as medium was almost a little too small for me."

No bounce and no chafing.
"No bounce and no chafing. I’ve worn Army body armor and plate carriers for years. My Go Ruck plate carrier has fantastic weight distribution and feels great while working out in it. Good to go."

Great way to workout
"I have had other weighted plate carriers that used the solid plate. The curved open plate is great upgrade! Fits securely while rucking, running or working out. Easier to move and breathe! Highly recommend!"

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness goals.
"One of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness goals. Wearing the weighted vest has subtlety strengthened my body and GoRuck makes a fantastic product. There’s a reason they’re the OG of rucking packs; it works! I ruck nearly every day and it’s been life changing."

Solid vest
"High quality material, feels durable as it should for the workouts this vest is gonna go through. Curved plates feel better and are more breathable during those intense workouts."

Vest is comfortable and practical
"First time wearing a vest but love it. Shoulder straps. are robust and it is easy to adjust. The only think I don't like is that I will occasionally jab myself in throat. Its probably part of the learning curve just like getting in and out of a car with it on. Wish I would have bought it sooner."
