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.

"Excellent product. Thinnest 45# ruck plate I have found. Not sure who packed it, but the box was split, the plate was not secured, the box too big, not enough cushioning material. The plate exposed, scratched and scuffed upon delivery. I repaired with some matte black spray paint but think its important to let folks know. Given, weights are difficult to ship, but GoRuck could have done better in my opinion"
"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."
"I like marching with the GoRuck pack. It feels extremely comfortable and I am able to feel the difference as compared to a standard backpack. It is built to fit just right and it fits just right where I am seeing an improvement in posture as well as how I do regular rucks now."
"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."
"A very simple and easy product to use in my GoRuck. I like the shape, handle, and ease of sliding it in and out of the ruck. So much in that I purchased two additional weigh plates of different weights."
"I enjoy walking the dirt roads fields and hills with my Basic Ruck. I’m using 20# for my 2-3 mile walks. I probably will buy the 30# before the summer is done. Just wish the replacement weights were cheaper."
"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."
"Quality finish, American made (except 10lb plates) I have a decent stack to keep myself challenged. They’re great in the packs, RPC’S and they work great on their own with the handles. I’m happy with every one I purchased."
"Awesome gear. I love the plates. The curved edges rule. This is a great company."
