Goruck Rucker 4.0 20L Backpack

For those who work out to their limits and need gear that can keep pace, Goruck are a go-to brand and their backpacks are beyond compare when it comes to robustness. A first-class example of this is the Rucker 4.0 20L Backpack which, understandably, is one of Goruck’s most popular products to date. Hard-wearing, versatile and built for any adventure, it’s hard to beat.

The Rucker 4.0 20L Backpack from Goruck ($245) is the ideal tool for rucking and rucksack training. It is built to withstand the elements and delivers unparalleled comfort, even when carrying heavy loads. The Rucker is now upgraded with velcro interior zippers and no front exterior zipper pocket, making it even easier to maintain your equipment. The upgraded padding on the top of the plate pocket makes it more comfortable for bear crawls, and the ergonomic lumbar support and fabric on the back panel and underside of straps help to prevent friction burn.

Purpose-built for anyone who wants a durable, comfortable, and reliable rucksack for their training needs, the Rucker 4.0 is positively flying off the shelves and it’s available in a number of different colour combinations so you’re sure to find one that matches your own style sensibilities. Chances are you often bang and throw your Rucker around, which can damage the zippers. Zipper damage is one of the most common reasons why people bring their rucks to Scars for repairs.



To prevent this, Goruck have replaced all of the interior pockets with Velcro closures on the Rucker 4.0 20L Backpack. The large pull tabs make it easy to open and close the pockets even when you are wearing gloves or when your hands are cold. The 20L Rucker has a single pocket that can hold a 10-pound, 20-pound, or 30-pound Ruck Plate. The 25L Rucker has two pockets: one that can hold a 20-pound or 30-pound Ruck Plate, and one that can hold a 45-pound Plate, 20-pound GR1 Plate, or 30-pound GR1 Plate. This means that the 25L Rucker can hold up to 75 pounds of weight.
