The Rucker® 4.0 is the ultimate rucksack designed to enhance your rucking experience with its thoughtful features and durable construction. It is crafted from 210D High Tenacity CORDURA® fabric, which is gentle on the skin and prevents friction burns, even when worn shirtless. Its ergonomic design features 10mm of EVA foam padding along the back panel, supporting the natural curve of your spine and shielding you from seams or other friction points. The bag includes multiple padded handles and extra-padded shoulder straps to make carrying heavy loads more comfortable.

Designed for optimal performance, the Rucker® features two elevated Ruck Plate® pockets- one standard size and one long size- for the 20L and 25L versions.

The Rucker® is also compatible with hydration bladders, thanks to an interior d-ring and a hydration tube exit port. Its highly water-resistant construction, complete with bottom grommet drain holes. It also has side MOLLE webbing that easily connects with the padded hip belt for even weight distribution and keeps the rucksack stable during workouts. 

Additional features include a hi-vis reflective stripe across the front for safety during low-light conditions, YKK zippers with silent, glove-friendly pulls made from parachute 550 cord, and a design that opens flat for easy packing and organisation.

GORUCK was founded in 2008 by Jason, a Special Forces operative, and Emily, a CIA officer from her home in war-torn West Africa. Their goal was to simply create a durable rucksack that could withstand extreme conditions and excel in places like Baghdad, New York City, and Côte d’Ivoire. They also aimed to help people from all walks of life navigate challenging environments and embrace a life full of adventure. Today, GORUCK revolutionises the fitness category of rucking- a low-impact exercise that involves walking with a weighted rucksack- by providing top-quality, durable, and highly functional rucking gear. The brand also fosters a supportive community through training, events, and GORUCK Clubs, all aimed at empowering individuals and supporting a cause greater than themselves.

The Rucker 4.0 20L and 25L can hold 2 Ruck Plates securely. One standard 10lb, 20lb or 30lb plate can fit in the front velcro plate pocket, while the back pocket can hold any size of our plates, including the 45lb Long Ruck Plate. There is still room left in the interior if you wish to add more plates but they will not remain as secure and may shift some while rucking.

The Rucker is also a great everyday carry bag as it offers plenty of room to pack items needed for a quick day trip or your daily work commute.
