Rucking requires little instruction: put weight on your back and walk.<\/strong> It’s a simple core activity. Do we really need a specific backpack? Part of the rucking ethos is not letting anything stop you, gear included.<\/p>\n

No, you don’t need a rucking backpack;<\/a> any pack will do. However, a rucking training pack has several advantages, mainly durability. Rucking loads, especially for the smaller volume required when using metal weights, can easily exceed the weight many outdoor packs can handle. And rucking packs often mate with flat rucking steel rucking plates, which keep the load compact and right next to the back.<\/p>\n

I trained with the GORUCK Rucker 4.0<\/a> backpack and a few matching Ruck Plates for 3 months, hiking both undulating terrain and enduring hill repeats. After nay-saying the need for rucking specific packs, I appreciated the GORUCK training system.<\/p>\n

In short:<\/strong> The GORUCK Rucker 4.0 and Ruck Plates improved my rucking experience immensely. Having a dense, flat plate secured as close to my back as possible improved my walking posture and comfort. I could hike both flat and hilly terrain with a torso position that felt much more normal, comfortable, and effective than when using an alpine climbing pack. And the positive effect was multiplied as the weight increased. The GORUCK Rucker 4.0 is way more rugged than any of my “normal” outdoor packs, promising a very long life of hard use.<\/p>\n
