If you're already a GoRuck fan this probably isn't for you. It looks aimed at people who want to get into rucking cheaply

It's almost like Goruck is a gimmick for tactitools

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. They even had a YouTube video as to how properly tape up a brick to prevent it from damaging the backpack. They quickly realized that doing this and

I haven’t found a reason TO buy the Rucker or plates, for that matter. $12 close out pack and (2) $1.88 1x8x16 concrete blocks got me 32lbs. I’ll tune in the final weight with a hammer. The thing to keep in mind is Rucking as an A.R.T. Active Resistance Training. Unless you’re showing up for a GoRuc

But hey look at the bright side! Goruck, a company known for durability, uses vx21 instead of vx42 or x50. And charges you up the wazoo for the privilege. Now you have more reasons to save money. Ctactical offers both plus ecopak for under $175 shipped, plus include very good water bottle pockets. H

Unless you’re planning to throw your bag around on the ground and do CrossFit stuff, the GoRuck bags are completely unnecessary. GoRuck focuses on durability over comfort. I just ruck. I don’t do all that crazy stuff so I prefer comfort. Don’t get me wrong, WildGym bags are beasts too, but they are

I have a Wild Gym Feather Ruck. It’s very comfortable. I sold my Rucker 5.0 within a week of getting it. Goruck products are built like tanks, but I don’t need a tank on my back to take a walk around my neighborhood. Also, the Wild Gym bags have much better padding and comfort features.

Pass on it. While it will work well for seasoned ruckers, it won't for rookies. The GORUCK pack for $49 on Amazon is your best bet with a 10-20lb plate to start with. Also just buying a pack doesn't make it easy. Your shoes are a big part of your experience. Put your money into a quality set of shoe

I’ve got a Goruck Rucker 4.0, bougie I know, but I wanted to invest in the hobby. It’s supposedly “rainproof”

t does. I went from 0 to 60 lbs (45lb plate plus all the stuff for work and other gear I keep in there) with the goruck rucker and I would not reccomend to anyone for exactly the shoulder pain you're talking about. The rucker is more of a let me bring some weights to the park to workout or lighter w
