Rucker 4 Available Now

Let’s review the newly launched Rucker 4.0 from GORUCK. I ordered one as soon as it dropped, and it’s here. Let’s take a tour of the features. The latest version of GORUCK’s Rucker is the ultimate fitness training backpack. It now comes in Tropic Multicam or Black for dope style and practicality. Get it now – only from GORUCK: Let’s take a closer look. GORUCK Rucker 4 – REVIEW I took this bag out to stomp around in the woods. First, understand they’ve carried over all the cool new stuff from the Rucker 3. Like what? Tons of handles, drain grommets, low-abrasion shoulder straps, low-abrasion hip belt, and two interior pockets for plates. They’ve made it better – primarily by removing all the interior zippers. So – you use Velcro (aka hook and loop) instead. It works just fine. But, it’s NOISIER and it takes longer to open and close. I think that’s OK – this is a tool for fitness – not stealth. They’ve also added more foam padding in the interior to better protect your head from sliding [Read more …]

GORUCK Sandbag 2.0

The GORUCK sandbag gets better with the updated Sandbags 2.0. Sandbag training has plenty of benefits when you incorporate it into your workout. Sandbag training improves stability, grip strength, and functional fitness. When you use sandbags, your body is compelled to continually rebalance itself as you work through each movement because the sandbag filler shifts when the sandbag moves. There’s two sizes available, from GORUCK: Sandbags 2.0 – Overview While competitors rubberize or fold webbing onto the handles, GORUCK reinforces neoprene padding into every handle they build. This is the reason why GORUCK handles are the best on the market. Reinforcing neoprene padding into the handle provides a more secure and comfortable grip so you can hold them longer. GORUCK prioritizes the handle construction greatly because they believe they are the most significant attribute of the sandbags because you hold them with your hands all the time. The filler bags have a triple locking velcro closure system, an enhancement from the previous versions with only a double closure. It utilizes an interlocking system of fabric and seams to make sure [Read more …]
