Features
ZERO IRRITATION WHEN RUCKING SHIRTLESS
Say goodbye to friction burn. All-new 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps is less abrasive and doesn't irritate skin or chew up delicate apparel.
ERGONOMIC LUMBAR SUPPORT
An extra 10mm of EVA foam padding at the bottom of the back panel supports your spine’s natural curve. It’s raised to reduce friction from seams, and even if it’s against bare skin, it won’t rub you the wrong way.
EXTRA PADDED STRAPS + TOP LID
The shoulder straps are extra padded so you can carry the weight more comfortably. Plus, tons of padding (1" thick) at the top to protect during dynamic movements. Our dual-density foam will not collapse under the pressure.
OVERBUILT CONSTRUCTION
Overbuilt with military-grade materials like 1050D Ballistic CORDURA®, reinforced at every stress point, and field-tested in the harshest conditions.
KEEPS CHEST OPEN
Keeping the weight off your chest and fully on your back opens up your lungs — so you can breathe easier, move better, and ruck longer. Free your chest with Rule #1: Always Look Cool.
EASY TO CLEAN
There’s no spacer mesh on the RPC so it doesn’t absorb all the stink. Just spray it down with a hose and scrub with soapy water if needed. Hang to dry.
