Men’s Weighted Backpack - Rucking Backpack for Training, Strength, Running

Tried carrying cast iron weights in my general pack but they moved around too much to be comfortable. No way was I spending $200+ for a Goruck pack and this was well rated on both Amazon and in a “best of” article I read so bought it. LOVE IT! Holds the weight close so no shifting, it’s comfortable and because I’m not up to 40lbs yet I still have room to slide my water bladder in. Haven’t had it long enough to comment on durability but it appears well made and the seams are solid. Exactly what I needed at a price I can live with.

This backpack is well made and has nicely padded shoulder straps for a comfortable fit. The weights I bought separately fit nicely in the pack and with the strap adjustments they ride nicely on my back. These features make the backpack great for rucking.

I’ve tried multiple rucking backpacks and vests. For me, this is the most comfortable.

I have a Goruck pack, but it's just big. I was looking for a simple replacement. This works well. I use the plates out of my 511 plate carrier. This pack is well constructed & as comfortable as you can get for a weighted pack. I have my 2 10lb plate carrier weight plates and an additional 5lb plate. It his a nice zip pocket for a phone and keys. Only downside is the size...it's a little small. If you are looking to go greater than 25lbs I would be hard. But it's supposed to be small so there's that.

Wow! This rucksack is super well built. I bought the Wolf tactical 8.75 weights and they fit perfect in the rucksack however having all the weight on the back really put a strain on my neck and upper back and I had to return. I bought the Zelus 20lb backpack, the weight is evenly distributed front and back. This backpack is not even close to the rugged build of the Wolf tactical rucksack but is very comfortable.

Just like a previous reviewer, I"m a 5'0" woman with a medium chest. I tried several other brands of plate carriers and had to return them as I couldn't make them work for me. I decided to try this one based on the other review from a person my size and this one works. I'm so glad I tried it. Seems very well made. I use it with a 20 lb plate from Go Ruck and it fits fine. I use it with the straps tightened almost all the way - meaning it would still fit a larger person if the straps are set looser. I also like that the chest strap is height adjustable. I had to raise it up a couple of settings from where it started from. Especially helpful for women. The interior cavity dimensions are a little over 12" tall by 10" wide by 1-1/4" deep.

The pack is sturdy and well-built, and looks good. I wish the Amazon web page for this product made it easy to tell what weights fit. The pocket is 13" high by about 10" wide. I bought a 30-lb weight plate, and it's about 2" too tall, so I carry it insecurely without using the velcro-fastened top flap. The shoulder straps are comfortable enough, with long straps to adjust for most people. The chest strap pops in and out easily, but the strap left over from adjusting just hangs annoyingly down in front (I don't have a better design suggestion, though). I just stick my thumb in the loop to hold it so it doesn't swing and bounce in front. For the price I'd like it to be 2" longer so it hangs lower on the back, and have a waist belt so not all the stress is put directly on the trapezoid muscles.

I purchased this for my wife. I was a bit concerned because she has a large chest and other weighted packs have not worked well for her in the past. However this one works great because of the adjustable cross strap and fits her comfortably with little shifting. The one comment I would make is that the back of your shirt might ride up underneath the pack a bit depending on what you're doing and how it's used but this was easily solved for her by tucking in her shirt in the back.

I have received the weighted backpack and the some of the seams are broken, and other are falling apart. Pour quaw
