Product description

Ruck Plate Carrier 3.0

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 (looking at you, merino wool).

ERGONOMIC LUMBAR SUPPORT

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 and if it’s exposed to your skin, that’s no problem either.

EXTRA PADDED STRAPS + TOP LID

Shoulder straps are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably. Plus, tons of padding (1″ thick) at the top to protect during dynamic movements. Yes, that means Bear Crawls and burpees.

PURPOSE BUILT FOR RUCK PLATES

The Ruck Plate Carrier (Standard) is ideal for carrying 10LB, 20LB, or 30LB Standard Ruck Plates. It’s the perfect place to start if you’re new to rucking or want to add some extra suck to your workouts. The Ruck Plate Carrier (Long) fits a 30LB Long or 45LB Long plate and is ideal if you’re a larger guy.

RUCK IT

OVERBUILT CONSTRUCTION

A reinforced layer of 1050D Ballistic CORDURA on the bottom panel ensures your weight plate carrier doesn’t take an unnecessary beating from gravity when you’re smoked after a tough workout.

KEEPS CHEST OPEN

Your chest stays open, it’s easier to clean and won’t stink, doesn’t beat up your chin while doing pushups, and looks a lot better. Free your chest with Rule #1: Always Look Cool.

EASY TO CLEAN

There’s no spacer mesh on the Ruck Plate Carrier 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.

JOINT THE RUCKING REVOLUTION

SPECIAL FORCES MATERIALS

A simple design, bombproof construction, and the best materials money can buy are trademarks of our brand. The materials we choose thrive in any environment – YKK Zippers (with silent zipper pulls) perform despite Middle East sandstorms, and 1000 denier CORDURA is the preferred material for Special Forces rucks due to its strength to weight ratio and durability.

TESTED & PROVEN

No other company systematically abuses their own gear like we do via GORUCK Events. At over 10,000 events since 2010, GORUCK rucksacks have consistently proven to be the toughest and most comfortable in the world.

SCARS LIFETIME PROMISE

With GORUCK Events happening all over the world and a high-touch promise like SCARS, we have nowhere to hide, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The promise we make to you is the same that we make to our buddies headed to war: GORUCK gear is built to Special Forces life or death quality standards, and if you break it, we fix it.

PURPOSE BUILT FOR RUCKING: The Ruck Plate Carrier is purpose built for streamlined rucking, with an elevated pocket designed for GORUCK Ruck Plates and reinforced construction. Just add weight and walk. This rucking backpack features a sleek profile that minimizes bulk, allowing for maximum mobility and comfort during your workouts, whether on trails or in urban environments.
SUPER STRAPS: Thin straps cutting into your neck is the last thing you want while carrying weight. The Ruck Plate Carrier straps are wide, reinforced, and extra padded to create the smoothest possible rucking experience. To build the straps, two premium high-density polyethylene foams are heat laminated together to form a permanent bond. The interior foam provides superior cushioning against your shoulder, and the exterior foam provides outstanding durability and impact resistance.
HIGH AND STABLE WEIGHT: Keeping the Ruck Plates high on your back, stable, and evenly distributed puts you in the best position to gain strength while rucking. The elevated Ruck Plate pockets keep the weights from bouncing around, and lets you scale up to 45LBs of Ruck Plates (we recommend starting 20LB).
BACK SUPPORT: Raised padding along the bottom of the Ruck Plate Carrier provides ergonomic lumbar support that protects your spine and helps to brace your core. The back panel’s 210D Cordura fabric is smooth and moves with you instead of rubbing against your clothes. Closed-cell foam repels moisture to prevent sweat and rain from damaging your ruck.
RUCK PLATE COMPATIBILITY: Built to securely hold GORUCK Ruck Plates, ensuring balanced weight distribution for safer, more effective training.
