Most weighted vests aren't built for what HYROX actually asks of you.

Eight stations. Constant running between them. A vest that's fine standing still starts working against you the second you pick up pace — sandbag and plate designs shift, dig in, and throw your stride off exactly when your form matters most.

STRYDR is built around one question: what does a vest need to do at running speed, mid-set, and fully fatigued? Not just standing in front of a mirror.

A fit that locks in

A front zip with adjustable side toggles and a longer torso design keep STRYDR close to the body at any pace. Dial it in once, and it holds through the run, the sled push, and the transitions in between.

Weighted gel technology, evenly distributed

The same weighted gel technology behind RUKVEST, tuned for STRYDR's fit. It moulds to the torso and spreads load evenly front and back, instead of pooling in one spot the way loose-fill sand or pellets do.

Built for stations, not just the start line

Squats, lunges, step-ups, sled work — dynamic movement is where most vests reveal their weak points. STRYDR's close-to-body construction is built to hold its shape through exactly that kind of load.

Weight: 10LB/4.5KG

Built for HYROX

Eight stations and constant running between them means your gear needs to do more than sit still and look tough. STRYDR is the performance weighted vest built to stay locked in and balanced through running, HYROX, and functional fitness, so the load works with you instead of against you.A front zip and adjustable side toggles lock the fit in before you start, and a longer torso design keeps STRYDR close to the body through sled pushes, step-ups, and the runs in between. No bounce, no shifting, no readjusting mid-station.

Authority to Leave

Your parcel will be left safely at your address by default (Authority to Leave). Please be sure to enter an address you consider safe at checkout.

When will my order ship and when will it arrive?

Our logistics team works really hard to get your RUK gear to you as soon as possible.

You will receive tracking details via email and/or text once your order has been shipped from our Castle Hill NSW, Cheltenham VIC, or Malaga WA warehouse.

We fulfil orders during business hours and work to get all orders out within 1-2 business days of ordering (depending on order volumes).

Once it leaves our factory, it's the carrier and the distance of you from our warehouse that will dictate the shipping times, but 2-5 days from ordering to you is the norm.

How can I track my order?

Once your order is shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. You can use this tracking number on our website or the carrier's website to track your order's progress.

PLEASE NOTE: RUKSAK does not take responsibility for uncollected parcels that are returned to sender, or incorrect addresses that are returned to sender. If your tracking states that the parcel has been delivered, please first check with your local post office (either by phone or dropping into the local shop) before contacting us. Alternatively call Australia Post or the Courier with your tracking number to acquire further information.

If an order is returned to us due to the goods not claimed within the courier's required time frame or an incorrect address provided, there are two options:

  1. We can refund the order minus the original shipping charge and return to sender fee
  2. We can resend the order, however the shipping charge will need to be paid again by customer prior to dispatch

Please visit our FAQ page for answers to all your shipping questions.

Exchange Policy

If you’ve chosen a weight that’s not quite right for you, or you’ve simply changed your mind, you may be eligible for an exchange. To discuss, please contact us at team@ruksak.com.

To process your exchange, the item must be returned to us at your own expense with its original packaging and product tags attached. It must be unused, unwashed, and free from animal hair, sand, dirt, or any other marks.

We’re happy for you to try the item on, but it cannot have been worn for a ruck, a workout or around the house – it needs to be returned in the original packaging in resalable condition with ALL tags attached.

Once tags have been removed the vest can be traded in for another weight at a discounted price but cannot be refunded in full.

If you are unsure of which weight to choose GO LIGHTER.

Fixed Weight. On Purpose.

STRYDR's gel load is fixed and that's a deliberate performance call, not a compromise. A fixed load stays exactly where you put it through squats, lunges, step-ups and sled work. Removable weight blocks can shift or bounce under that kind of dynamic movement. STRYDR doesn't give you that to manage.

Before you load up

Can I change the weight later?

No. Each STRYDR vest is a fixed gel load, chosen deliberately so nothing shifts mid-session.

Is STRYDR the same as RUKVEST?

No. STRYDR is its own product line, built for running, HYROX and functional fitness with a closer, performance-specific fit. It runs on the same weighted gel technology as RUKVEST, but is designed for a different kind of training.

Will it move around when I run?

The front zip and adjustable side toggles are there to lock the fit in before you start, and the longer torso design keeps it close to the body through stride and transitions.

What is covered under warranty?

Every STRYDR vest comes with a 12-month warranty. Construction is premium Lycra, confirmed free of Benzothiazole and its derivatives.

Built for the run between the reps

A weighted vest that disappears into your training instead of fighting it.
