Rucker 5.0

Good

So far it's been a great pack. It rests on my back comfortably. The padding on the straps and back is also comfortable. There are two things I wish this bag had. A small compartment on the outside front of the bag. As well as something to bind the excess front strap. I tighten this to my chest and have a long strap flapping out in front of me

A Lifelong Investment

I’ve owned a Savotta 25-liter backpack before in this very similar shade of green. And I’ll tell you what: the quality is similar, but the comfort is by far found in the Rucker 5.0. You cannot find a more comfortable load-bearing backpack on the civilian market that doesn’t require you to rig up a heavy, tedious ALICE frame. Beautiful rucking bag. Practical. The weights fit right in and stay snug. You can fit as many extra water bottles as you might need and secure a water bottle on the side of it. It’s really lovely, and above all, you know it won’t fail on you. I’ve already lost seven pounds rucking and regularly walking with this thing. You can swap the loads out, too: a 45-pound intensive load one day, a 20-pound load the next, and a rest day. The GoRuck is always there for your practical needs. It’s a fine piece of equipment and is more than a backpack. It is an investment in your health, your future, and, moreover, an encouragement to get outdoors and get your money’s worth. Remember: price per wear. The sticker price might seem like a lot, but if you wear this thing every day for two years, or at least every couple of days for a few years, the price becomes next to nothing. Instead, you start making your money back. This thing will outlive you—go for it.

Definitely worth the money.

By far best ruck bag / weighted vest I've used. Logged over 12 miles in 6 days. The straps and adjustments allow the bag to stay tight against the body and prevent it from bouncing. Can't wait to put even more miles in with this bag on my shoulders
