Curved Ruck Plates
Overall rating: 4.6568627 / 5 from 306 reviews.
Curved Ruck Plates offer a unique design with an open center to improve breathing during workouts. They are built from high-quality cast iron and power-coated to prevent rust. Customers praise the quality and fit, though feedback on the vest itself is mixed.

"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."
"What an amazing product, built to last. I’ve used it about 5 times and the fit and comfort for rucking is fantastic! It’s a bit pricey however I can see that it’s made to last a LONG time!"
"I like it overall. Its the first time i go running with weight on. Its good and I felt the extra strain on the legs. One thing I am not able to find solid information on is how to clean it, and what is the recommended method and frequency. Because I live in warm climate (currently temperatures around 100F at night when I run) and this thing gets wettt. So would really appreciate it if could get some guidance from you guys. Thanks"
"Definitely like the added weight. The weights were pretty tough to get into the carrier. It seems the top gets hung up leaving a tad too much at the bottom exposed when putting them in. I believe the top 2 post need to be just a tad shorter for an better fit."
"Got the 30 lb set. . . . perfect amount of weight to do my walks in. The design does actually make it easier on my breathing and keeping my core cooler in the hot Texas heat. Great piece of training gear."
"I like the idea behind them with the cutout so it makes it easier to breathe during workouts but they are really tough to insert them into the vest. They need to be a little smaller width wise or the vests need to be a tad bit wider for those plates."
"Fits well and the weight is ideal to wear not just for a Ruck or formal workout but also to have on while I'm moving about the house and/or property doing routine stuff throughout the day. . . . . well, and to randomly stop, drop and knock-out 20-push ups. Levels up my activity! Russ WA State"
"Very comfortable to wear and breathe in. Already ran plenty of miles and seen dirt and rain and so far still looks clean and material doesn’t feel cheap and holds pretty well."
"Wow. Compared to my starter ruck vest, the curved and cutout plates do two MAJOR things. They take a significant amount of weight off of my traps/shoulders. Also, several miles into a hard ruck, they allow me to take a DEEP breath compared to flat weights. I cannot notice any shifting of the weights, and it holds snuggly to my upper body when walking. The "30lb" weights are actually 28. 4lbs because of the conversion to Lbs from Kgs. I wish they had heavier curved plates, but the vest is a worthy investment either way."
"It’s been a great addition to my workout routine. I use it while hiking, running, rowing, and during my kettlebell flow workouts."
