About this item
Basic rucker Streamlined for speed, designed for comfort while rucking. The perfect rucksack for Ruck or Die , a grueling 12+ mile ruck shuffle, where you only want the essentials, and you want the weight to ride high and tight on your back to reduce sideways movement and remove friction points. Add a 10, 20, or 30 LB Ruck Plate ® to the elevated pocket inside , cinch it down on your back, take the first step, then another. Move with purpose, pump some blood flow through your heart, then some more, and challenge yourself to move a little faster. Sizing note: 14L is reduced in height by 2”. If you’re 5’10” or under, go with the 14L. The goal is for this rucksack to take up less (not more) real estate on your back. When worn right, it feels like an extension of your back, almost like it's not even there. Till you really get going, that is, and that's the goal. The Basic Rucker ™ and all GORUCK gear comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee because that's how we roll.

Customer reviews
What customers say: This pack is praised for its durability, secure plate pocket, and comfort, keeping weight high and tight. Some wish for external pockets, and new straps can feel stiff.
★★★★★
Super comfortable design
The design of this pack really nails the high and tight weight distribution. I've used it for several Ruck or Die training sessions and haven't experienced any rubbing or discomfort, even with heavier plates.
★★★★☆
Solid, but straps are stiff
The construction is top-notch with the CORDURA, and it definitely holds the weight tight. The shoulder straps are a little stiff initially and took a few uses to break in, which wasn't ideal on the first few rucks.
★★★★★
Fantastic for long rucks
I got the 17L in Black and it's everything I hoped for. The 1000D CORDURA feels incredibly durable, and I appreciate the no-frills, streamlined design that focuses on function. It really keeps the weight high and tight, which makes a huge difference on longer rucks when you're trying to maintain a faster pace without chafing. This is definitely my go-to pack now.
★★★★☆
Compact and effective
The 14L in Coyote is excellent for focused rucking, though it is quite minimal.
