**Please note that partial payment on preorders is not available for Paypal Express. Your order will still be marked as preorder however Paypal Express will charge the full amount upfront.
Experience a new level of comfort and functionality with our RUKVEST, designed unlike any weighted product you've encountered before. Utilising innovative weighted gel technology, the vest incorporates a unique iron sand (granular iron) and gel compound that forms its core weight. This cutting-edge design ensures that the vest moulds to your body while providing a balanced distribution of weight. Encased in high-quality lycra, the RUKVEST not only offers durability but also allows for easy maintenance.
How heavy should I go?
We recommend that those new to rucking aim to carry between 5% (if you've been sedentary) and 10% (if you are already training) of their current body weight to start. You can make a light ruck harder but you can’t make a heavy ruck easier. We would rather you kept up with the exercise than give up because it is too hard. Remember, you can always upgrade the weight once you build your strength via our trade up scheme.

Customer Reviews
Really loving this ruck vest. It's super comfortable and minimalistic, so I don't overheat while wearing it
I am so pleased this vest exists. I had been waiting for over 2 years for a more affordable entry point into rucking, that wasn't filling my own regular backpack with red wood cut offs. I am loving how much I can do with my vest on, and am loving the challenge it adds to my regular exercise. It's so easy to slip on and off, nice to wear and something I am telling my friends about!
I thought I would fatigue using a weighted vest for the first time but this is just comfortable, easy to get on and off and not bulky or ugly. Great vest for women. .
Very comfortable and amazing customer service. Love that it’s an Australian product
I was lugging some weights in my back pack before the arrival of my 8kg ruk vest, so was really keen to see what a difference having it strapped on, would make, and its great, super easy and feeling good already with the extra boost it gives my daily walks. Def. recommend.
