Ruck Plates
Our standard of compatibility is that Ruck Plates® will be stable and secure in your Ruck with minimal shifting.
If you have a Ruck Plate Carrier™, we recommend the shorter (Standard) Ruck Plates® — 10LB, 20LB or 30LB.
The 20L and 25L Rucker® feature an additional pocket to securely fit a 45LB Ruck Plate®, which can be paired with a 20LB or 30LB Ruck Plate® for up to 75 lbs of total weight.
If you have a GR1®, we recommend the Standard Ruck Plate® — 30LB.
45LB Ruck Plates® only strap in securely to the 20L/25L Rucker and Long Ruck Plate Carrier, however they will fit into the interior elastic pocket of the GR1® (suitable for upright weighted rucking, but not ruck PT aka burpees and bear crawls).
The relationship between your body, the weight, and the rucksack will determine your level of comfort on the move. Our recommendation for most people is to start with 20 lbs of weight for rucking, progress in increments of ~10 lbs, and ultimately max out at ⅓ of your bodyweight. It’s more important to keep proper form while rucking than to have more weight.

"I am loving my GORUCK equipment. I got the basic rucker with 2 10lb plates during a promotion and began using them typically 2 times per week on 2-3 mile walks. I recently purchased a 30 lb plate and am using that on 1-2 mile walks. overall I love the workout and the ease to turn a walk with the dog into a good challenge for me. I highly recommend the products to friends that ask about my ruck."
"Bought the Basic Rucker and the deal came with two plates. I wanted something that would make my 30 minute walk every morning I do mainly as a chore to get a couple miles in walking the dog into a more productive use of time. It seems to be doing that. Increasing heart rates up a bit and adding just a little extra strain on my postural muscles. It’s now become just a part of the day and will be indefinitely."
"The ruck plates fit perfectly in the ROC carrier. No shifting or readjustments needed. Drop in the plate, shoulder your carrier, cinch it “high & tight”, and you’re all set. Don’t forget your water snd some good ruck shoes."
"I was looking for a way to exercise without a gym and I have taken up rucking. I got these plates (2x 10lbs) as a part of the discounted set (ruck + 2 plates) and I have been happy. Great quality, fun way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors while burning calories. Would recommend."
"I got a package deal when Goruck was doing a sale, it was a great value. I got the basic rucker 17L and two 10lb (4. 5k) plates. I have rucked with them only a little so far but I am really happy with the products. Seems well made and helps improve posture."
"Consistent with all of GoRuck's products, the 20 lb. weight plates I ordered for both myself and my clients are of exceptional quality. They fit seamlessly into the 3. 0 Carrier, clean up well, and are multi-functional. I was impressed with the speed of shipping and delivery as well. Another win for GoRuck!"
"10 pound plates seem to be the sweet spot. I have two 10 lb plates and one 30 lb plate which lets me carry from 10 to 50 pounds in 10 pound increments. The plates fit great in a laptop sleeve, keeping them close to your back."
"Quality metal carrying plates. The castings dont have any harsh edges or nubs that catch when sliding in or out of the material. The quality is stellar."
"I received 2 10lb plates in my basic ruck pack I purchased and the plates fit like a glove in the pocket of the ruck sack! Blown away by the quality of these products!"
"I did a marathon on 5/23 in traverse city with my Ruck on and the plate. I will control do these events. It generated a lot of buzz at the event. Lots of people asking me about it. I’d love to be one of your sponsored athletes. Hope you are open to the conversation."
