Customer Testimonials

Best Ruck
I’ve had a lot of rucks from GoRuck®, and this one is the best. Period. The front straps and water bottle holder are perfect. The Ruck fits perfectly, hugs the back well, even with heavy weight. Love this and thank you for making such a perfect Ruck!

To start off, my son joined the Army National Guard last year and when he left for Basic Training, I found myself walking, and walking a lot! It helped me get through the initial grieving period that I think all mom's go through but then I saw it as a challenge! When I could communicate with him, I discovered he was doing lots of Rucks. So I thought, well, I will do that too....so I added weight in the form of weighted vests and lengthened the walk to at least two 5 miles walks/rucks a week in addition to my 2.5 mile evening walks. This was working pretty well until I was ready to go heavier and the weight never felt right. It always pulled on my shoulders and was heavy on the chest which made it harder to breath when the cardio kicked in. I've been researching ruck packs for awhile and at first I was hesitant to spend the money on what I thought was just a backpack. I saw an add that compared the weighted vest to the pack and she was describing exactly how I felt wearing a weighted vest so I knew it was time to pull the trigger. I have used it a few times now and I LOVE it. I started walking around the house calling myself Dora the Explorer and singing the 'Backpack song'. My shoulders feel great and there is no pressure on my chest, thanks to the adjustable chest straps. I am still adjusting the pack so it doesn't pull as much on my neck but I think this is just a small learning curve that I will be navigating through as far as posture, etc. There is a pocket for everything I can think of, cell phone, water, etc, not including actual pack itself which has tons of space. My son is being deployed in August of this year so I see myself walking/rucking a good bit during the next year....even thinking of finding some trails and not just walking in the neighborhood. If you are interested, I would highly recommend this ruck pack. I'm glad I finally decided to invest in myself. Well worth it!

PS VERY VERY NICE!
I've only had the wild gym ruck for a couple of weeks, but I really like it. Between the hip belt, chest straps, and aluminum frame, the weight is evenly distributed across my back, shoulders, and hips. It's perfectly comfortable to wear, and it seems to be very well made.
Haven't added any plates to it yet, but the ruck seems well-made and sturdy after initial inspection and fitting. Bought this mainly for the added features such as the bottle and phone holders, and the overall layout and thought put into this pack is better than most of the other brands out there.
I had been pricing out many alternatives and wildgym landed at the right price for me to finally purchase my own ruck. I've been out a few times already and I really like it, it's very secure and provides great stability with weight so you don't feel the pressure on your back. Happy with my purchase!
