FAQ

What's the Maximum Weight Size That Fits in the Pockets?

Each pocket can fit a weight up to the size of our 15kg weight: 292mm (H) x 229mm (W) x 39mm (D).

Can I Mix Different Weight Sizes in One Pocket?

Absolutely. Each pocket can hold either:

  • 1 x 15kg weight
  • 1 x 10kg + 1 x 5kg weight
  • 3 x 5kg weights

This modular system lets you build up gradually without needing to buy entirely new weights when you want to increase by just 5kg.

How Much Weight Should I Carry?

If you're new to rucking, start light and build up gradually. Under 70kg? Start with 5kg. Over 70kg? Begin with 5-10kg depending on your fitness level - those over 90kg or with strong fitness backgrounds can kick off with 10-15kg. Remember, good posture is paramount - if you're straining, drop some weight until your body adapts. Most experienced ruckers carry 10-15kg, but start light, listen to your body, and increase by 5kg increments as you level up.

Is There a Limit to the Weight I Should Carry?

There's no need to go full mule. A maximum of one-third your bodyweight is a smart cap. This strikes the perfect balance of challenging your limits without courting injury. For bonus intensity, increase the distance or speed instead of weight.
