Looking for good rucksack that can easily hold 80+lbs

I'd be shocked if GoRuck 4.0 can't hold 120 lbs.

Is there an actual competitor to Goruck?

GoRuck is great, but just wait for a sale, either a direct one or from a reseller. I have purchased a Rucker 4.0 and Ripstop Bullet Ruck directly and a GR1 from a reseller. If I absolutely had to look at other options, I would probably be looking at CTactical.

Please don't buy the GOruck bags

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

Considering rucking

The last six months for me mirror yours very closely, I topped out at 285 in late January and needed to make some changes. Walked for the first 2.5 months, and hit the hour I could be away from home (we have a 10 month old and a 10 year old), also noticed that my average heart rate was dipping durin

Beginner Product Advice

Can’t go wrong with a GoRuck 20L Rucker. More versatile than a plate carrier for sure. Overbuilt but you’ll never need to replace it.

Shoulder relief?

I liked the Wild Gym better, but honestly I went back to my Lundhags Dovre 30 with plates or bricks for my daily rucks.I made a post about my thoughts and confusion on GORUCK some time ago. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to actually try the Rucker 4.0. It’s not as bad as I thought, but it’s bas

GoRuck vs Wild Gym vs Other

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

Incline walking

Add a ruck sack instead. I developed bilateral achilles tendonitis in my 50s due to a lack of estrogen. I've mostly gotten it better but it still twinges if I spend a long time at a steep incline. I can maybe handle 2-3% and even then I can feel it a bit. I added a rucking back and some weight a yea

Old but new to rucking

Not a doctor but a stress fracture and osteopenia do raise concerns. I hope you are in good communication with your doctor or physical therapist about exercise parameters. Strength training to support rucking is a good way to reduce injury risk if your medical team approves. My suggestion is start w
