Rucksack Compatibility
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).
WHEN IN DOUBT
Start With 20#
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.
Best for if you are over 150 lbs and new to rucking or under 150 lbs and signed up for a GORUCK Challenge. Perfectly compatible with the Rucker® and Ruck Plate Carrier™.
30LB (STANDARD)
9" x 11.5" x 1.38"
Best for if you comfortable rucking 20 lbs of ruck weight plates already or over 150 lbs and signed up for a GORUCK Challenge. Perfectly compatible with the Rucker® and Ruck Plate Carrier™.
30LB (LONG)
9.5" x 15" x 0.94"
Best for if you own a GR1® and are comfortable rucking 20 lbs already. Not recommended for PT or the GORUCK Challenge.
45LB (LONG)
9.5" x 15" x 1.38"
