Padded Hip Belt

Just did my first ruck using it with extra weight . Really helps distribute the load so the shoulders don’t take it all. Looking forward to getting in more work with it!

Works well with Rucker.

Did what I was hoping it would do, which is transfer some of the weight from my shoulders (traps), to my hips. Works well with my Rucker. Need all the help I can get, as an "old" guy. Excellent attachment too, once I figured out how lace it up per the video from the website.

Makes a big difference on LONG rucks

I have had a hip belt on a 20L Rucker 4. 0 which I use for shorter heavier rucks (50 pounds +), and now on a 20L Rucker 2. 0 with a 20 pound plate that I use for longer rucks. I'd held off on putting a belt on the Rucker 2. 0 and had done several longer rucks up to 17 miles without the belt, but upper body fatigue started to be a factor at those distances. Yesterday I did a 24-mile ruck with the hip belt, 33 pounds starting weight, and I was much(?) less fatigued during and after. I still feel my traps and upper back a bit, but nothing like I did without the hip belt. I'm signed up for the 50-miler at HQ in November, and I'll definitely be using a hip belt on whichever Rucker I end up using for that event. Probably the 2. 0, since it has the slash pocket!!! I'm 6 foot, 179 pounds, athletic build, 31 inch waist jeans, and the small hip belt is almost too large. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to tighten a standard size hip belt tight enough to do any good.
