Real Ruckers. Real Results.

Thousands of kilometres rucked. Here's what people are saying.

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.

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.

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.

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