Rucker 5.0

Highly evolved Rucker

This is a highly evolved backpack, ideally suited for rucking and driveway workouts. There are plenty of options for accommodating weight plates that are secured from sliding around in the pack and held close to the upper back. The pack seems a little thinner than my other packs, particularly when both plate pockets are used. I’m still able to carry everything I need when I go to a workout. The new thick pad at the base of the pack encourages an upright posture when walking. As always, handles where you need them. This is my new, “go to” workout rucksack.

I have recently purchased a Rucker 5. 0 in multicam. Out of the box you can feel the heavy duty materials and see the quality. I also purchased a 30 lb (long) plate at the same time. Fit and finish on all products were excellent. I have so far only used it once at the time of writing, but it feels like it will need some breaking in. The straps and back padding are somewhat stiff and the lower back pad did cause some hot spots during my ruck. But I believe they will get better with use.

It's one of those products that when you see it and feel it you know where your money went. This thing is really nice! I've been on five rucks with it and am loving it.
