Customer Reviews
With the design more like a running vest it wears easily. Hugs the chest with only a little pressure across the shoulder. The bag also runs well without much bouncing.
This pack is by far the best on the market. I’ve tried a few others and this pack makes rucking comfortable. I only have to fight the weight, not being choked out by an ill fitting painful pack! Great design!
I’m 5’2” 150# 62 year old woman. I have the S/M pack.
Overall super comfortable. Distributes the weight really well. Great design!!
My issues- all the straps are as short as they will go so no way to tighten up. Also, lots of extra strappy material flopping around.
That’s more of an OCD esthetic thing tho and doesn’t affect the function. Looking forward to getting “wild”
The Wild Gym Ruck is so comfortable, smartly designed, rugged, and worth every single penny! Don't bother messing around with any old backpack or other super high priced brand. I recently discovered rucking (as a 57 year old female) and knew right away it would fit seamlessly into my fitness routine. It has been a game changer! By progressing smartly, I am amazed at my ability to carry the weight and how great it feels during and after a ruck. This pack makes all the difference! I don't dread the next ruck. I look forward to it! I am so happy I chose to support the awesome people who created Wild Gym.
Received my first ruck bag it fits much better than the old 1970s backpack I was using. Appears to be a very high quality product.
