I've been using goruck for months now. Usually I do 30 pounds but have gone up to 45 here and there. I started with a cheap frame ruck. It was alright. I know how to adjust weight in bags to make them comfortable. My father was army for 22 years and taught me how to. But the rucker 4.0 is virtually

I've been happy with my fjallraven raven. I do like my goruck rucker gen 1, but it's hard to justify the price. If I was looking for something similar I'd look at CTactical. People have compared the goruck and CT bags on Reddit if you're considering.

Yes, as weight increases - a purpose built bag will become more desirable (comfort) or even necessary (strength of construction). 5.11 Rush 12 on sale for $77USD right now. About $100+ less than a GoRuck Rucker’s best sale price. But at 25-30 - no reason not to just go with what you got.

I use a proper rucking pack. Weighted vests are generally not for breasted people especially if they have more although GoRuck has some that look decent. I bought a GoRuck Rucker 4.0 20L and am up to 30lbs in that. I also purchased an Evergoods Mountain Loader 22L that I carry a 20lb plate in. I'm p

I’m impressed that you tracked down a combination that fit, especially for a 30 Lbs plate. I consider the GoRuck Rucker pack to be a good deal even as expensive as it is because of how well it is put together, how well the padding works, how well they hold up to the abuse and their willingness to fi

I'm going to echo some suggestions in the thread. I've had the 5.11 Rush 24 for the last 2 years as my duty bag as an FF. Has plenty of organization and a dedicated laptop compartment. Doesn't look any worse for the wear. About $100 currently. GoRuck can be a good choice, but a little expensive espe

I have quite a few backpacks at this point and my most rugged is my GoRuck Rucker. Not meant to be an EDC but it could be. I've been wearing it almost daily for the last year and a half with a good 20-30 lbs in it. The GR1 or GR2 would be better for your use imo.

check out this GR2 video. additionally, you can pair a GR2 with a set of compression straps and could be had for less than $10. they hook from the side MOLLE to the front webbing via G-hooks and cinch the bag down to keep a smaller profile; cheaper alternative to SCARS modding, and they’re currently
