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?

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 …]

It shouldn’t limit you from moving in any direction, and it should also fit perfectly. The materials used should also be checked when looking for the right outfit.

Workout outfits should be so comfortable that you can still wear them outside the gym even if you are not working out. When you workout, bringing a mobile phone can’t be avoided, so it is also essential to look for workout outfits that have a pocket for [Read more …]
