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 …]

Merino wool is very in demand, especially in the outdoor gear world, because of the amazing benefits of keeping you comfortable and dry during your outdoor activities.
