3.0 // New Patent-Pending Design

Rucker ships late September

The new Rucker® 3.0 is the most comfortable rucksack ever built thanks to ergonomic lumbar support and an all-new, less abrasive fabric used on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps — you can even wear it shirtless with no friction burn.

Every Rucker now comes with a newly redesigned, wider and tougher Training Sternum Strap to better disperse heavy loads.

Features

Lumbar padding supports the natural curve of your back
Hi-vis reflective stripe across the front for safety
4 padded handles: top, bottom, and both sides
3 rows of external MOLLE webbing on the front and side let you customize your ruck, like adding a Padded Hip Belt
Frame Sheet supports the integrity of the pack as you weigh it down and allows you to carry a heavier load more comfortably
Interior d-ring and hydration tube exit port under the top handle of the ruck
YKK zippers with silent, glove friendly zipper pulls constructed from parachute 550 cord
Opens flat so it's easy to pack and organize. Special Forces medical rucks share a similar design.
Ruck Plate® compatible
Shoulder straps are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably
4 internal pockets: 1 large mesh zippered pocket, 1 small go-to zippered pocket, 1 large elastic pocket, and the Ruck Plate® pocket (25L features an additional Ruck Plate® pocket in place of the large elastic pocket)
External slant pocket provides quick access to small items
Highly water resistant aka rainproof
Bottom grommet drain holes
Includes adjustable and removable Training Sternum Strap
2"x3" hook and loop on the front panel to customize with the patch of your choice

Ruck Plate Compatibility

The Rucker® is purpose-built for weighted PT and has an elevated Ruck Plate® pocket that will securely fit a 10LB Ruck Plate, or a 20LB / 30LB Rucker Ruck Plate®.

The 25L Rucker® features two (2) Ruck Plate® pockets and can securely fit up to 65 lbs of plates utilizing one (1) 45LB Ruck Plate® (primary pocket) and one (1) 20LB Ruck Plate® (secondary pocket).

Note: The 25L secondary pocket cannot fit a 30LB Ruck Plate®, if you need more than 65 lbs (good on you) there’s plenty of room for a Filler Bag in the main rucksack compartment or you can always add a Sandbag for even more fun.

45LB Ruck Plates® only strap in securely to the 25L, however they will fit into the interior elastic pocket of the 20L (suitable for upright rucking, but not ruck PT aka burpees and bear crawls).
