On-demand rucking weights. No shipping. No branding. Just rocks.

Maybe not so smart. The abrasive nature of these pavers / bricks would eventually wear a hole in your Rucker. This is where Goruck originally started.

Rucker 5.0 new features?

Umm this is the least informative comment on here since the GoRuck Ruck 4.0 and 5.0 are specifically designed for holding weight for rucking. They are moving from Ruck 4.0 to Ruck 5.0 implies changes and I want to ensure that it isn't a downgrade or upgrade adding features like zippers instead of Ve
