You bang and throw your Rucker around, and crushed zippers are one of the main reasons we see rucks at Scars. All interior pockets are now VELCRO closure with enormous pull tabs so you can work them even with gloves on, even when it’s cold out.

We took a lesson from the Ruck Plate Carrier and beefed up the top padding of the interior Ruck Plate Pocket for when it’s time to do bear crawls or burpees and the ruck will naturally slide forward a bit on your back. More padding is a better solution.

Gravity + Ruck Plates + Concrete = too many zipper failures. We use the best, burliest YKK Zippers on the planet but they still crush under your loads. We removed the slant pocket to minimize the risk of failure.

Say goodbye to friction burn. 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps does NOT cause friction burn on your skin and it plays well with less durable fabrics like merino wool.

The 25L Rucker features 2 plate pockets, the front one holds 10LB, 20LB, or 30LB Standard Ruck Plates. The larger back pocket holds a 45LB Long ,20LB Long, or30LB Long.

An additional 10mm of EVA foam padding along the bottom section of the back panel supports the natural curve of your back. It’s raised up, protects you from friction from seams on pants, belts or Tough Leggings or anything back there. And if it’s exposed to your skin, that’s no problem either.

Keeps the Rucker® secure without constricting breath or movement and is adjustable by the MOLLE on the straps.

2 grommets on the bottom of the ruck to drain water for when you find yourself doing hydro burpees in the ocean, lake, or fountain.

Complete with side MOLLE to integrate perfectly with the Padded Hip Belt. A hip belt allows you to distribute heavy loads to your hips over long periods of time (think the GORUCK Challenge or Star Course) plus keeps the ruck stable during Ruck PT.
