Customer photo review of RUCKING BACKPACK

Troy J.Verified

This ruckaway ruckpack is comfortable and looks to be extra strong around the strap connections to the bag. The weight secures tight inside the sleeve Ruckaway are correct in saying rucking burns 3x the calories compared to regular walking as i put my heart rate monitor on and tested compared to my regular walking , it worked out to be around 3.4 times for me personally. I would highly recommend ruckaway if you are considering getting into rucking.

Very sturdy - it won’t fall apart in a hurry. I took it with the 5kg plate for an hour long ruck on the weekend and it was very comfortable. Well padded on the shoulders and the belt.

Ordered the pack as a versatile way to train for some upcoming hiking trips so I could walk with weight even for dog walks and short hikes amongst a busy lifestyle. Very comfortable, well made and enjoying using it so far! Definitely fit for purpose.

I've been into walking and hiking for a while, and was looking for a way to incorporate more strength work to my exercise. I find the Ruckaway bag and weights work brilliantly for me. The bag is well constructed and the weights are unobtrusive. I would highly recommend

I’d been rucking as an alternative to running for a while using a standard backpack, but it just wasn't comfortable. I finally decided to step it up and invest in a proper kit. This pack from Ruckaway is incredibly well-made and sits perfectly on my back. To top it off, their customer service was amazing—they really go above and beyond. If you’re considering rucking, you definitely need one of these packs!

Been using my Ruckaway pack (15kg + 10kg plates) for a few months now! Loving it. Really great material, simple aesthetic design & high durability. Heaps of space in the pack for rucks to the beach for cold dips or rucking to the gym and back. Highly recommend.

Love the bag! High quality design and very sturdy build. Turns my regular dog walks along the beach into a weighted work out. Great to fit in that extra activity when time is short. Nice feature of multiple weight pockets inside to mix up the total weight of the pack. Would recommend!

Love it. It just works. Have had 2 other types of ruckpacks and this one is far superior. It sits well. Can load it up with weights that stay put and hug your back. Room for water. I would get the water pack sold by these guys on reflection. I tried it with my camelback and whilst it sprt of works the one that comes with it is much better suited and fits it better. First walk was 5km with 15kg and it felt great. Thanks for making an awesome product. Happy Rucking all 😎

New to Rucking and love it so far. I have been using the ruckaway backpack with the 15kg weight and found it to be really comfortable and durable. The weight is really well supported within the backpack and has been great on all types of walks including rough inclined terrain. Highly recommend 👌

The Ruckaway backpack balances the weight perfectly and the straps are well padded. You can feel the quality and strength of the pack. I have tried rucking with a DIY normal backpack and it was terrible. It was enough to discourage me from continuing. My first experience with the Ruckaway Backpack was fantastic. I am excited now to keep going and make rucking an integral part of my training. This backpack made all the difference.

I’m recovering from hand surgery and as such my normal sports are off limits. The Rucking Backpack with weights has been ideal for me at this time. The weights sit close to your spine and don’t pull you centre of gravity backwards making hiking so much easier than a conventional backpack with weights. I highly recommend this product

Ben O.Verified

I was looking to get into a different form of exercise that was easier to get done on a regular basis, due to being a busy dad and professional, I don't have the bandwidth, time or energy to put towards complex routines, or even the effort towards packing a gym bag, work clothes etc. I wanted to give rucking a go, and found ruckaway, I wanted to support an Australian company and found Ruckaway was at a great price point so gave it a go. I'm really loving the pack, it's so easy to just grab it a...

Customer video review of RUCKING WEIGHTS

Daniel S.Verified

Outstanding Quality and Perfect Fit! The 10 kg Ruckaway Rucking Weights are exceptional — beautifully made, precise in weight, and a perfect fit for the Ruckaway backpack. The build quality is top-tier, with no rough edges or rattling once loaded. It feels solid, balanced, and clearly designed by people who understand real-world use. Customer service was also outstanding — friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was right. Couldn’t be happier — highly recommend!

Love it. Incredibly comfortable and the body adapted quickly due to the design and great build quality. Traps and upper back were feeling it on the first one, but since then there has been no discomfort. Looking forward to doing a 10km ruck this week! Woohoo! Could not recommend this rucking backpack more!!

Went for a hike to the top of Mt Coot-tha last weekend with 15kg weight, the pack was very comfortable and easy to store the weight in the weight pouch, had about another 3kg of other stiff in the back pack as well, just love it, can't wait to get out more in the future

Nice weight to go into your rucking pack. Quality seems high and easy to pick up due to the hand holds. I actually use this as a free weight for at home work outs too!

RUCKING WEIGHTS

Tim M.Verified

Felt great, conforms nicely and can be tightened to really hug your back. The bag looks solid and well-made. 15kg is a good starting weight, but probably 20kg would be better for someone fit and over 80kg.

Wayne S.Verified

My wife and I are really enjoying our Ruckaway backpacks. We started on 10kg and you can definitely notice the heart rate increasing over the walk. We are getting comfortable with the 10kg and will move to 15kg shortly.

I’ve been extremely impressed with the Ruckaway. It’s become an essential part of my weekly exercise and I use it on every dog walk as well as longer trails around Melbourne. It’s a huge improvement on my previous backpack—exceptionally comfortable, easy to adjust based on weight and conditions, and performs brilliantly on both short and longer walks. Highly recommended.

Byron C.Verified

Love my rucking backpack! I bought it specifically for my morning walk with my dog so that I could get a sneaky workout in, and it’s working perfectly. The rectangle weights are super easy to add/change too which time-poor me really likes.

Used to have to stop and take my pack off every time I needed water.. such a pain when you're in a rhythm. Now I just sip as I go without breaking stride. Makes longer rucks so much easier!

I’m thrilled to have a home-grown rucking backpack! The Ruckaway pack is sturdy and very functional. It’s very comfortable to wear even with a decent remount of weight inside. Everything about the pack feels thoughtful and high quality. Simon at Ruckaway was also very attentive when I reached out with a question. Shipping was just two days right before Xmas which was fantastic. If you’re looking to get in to rucking I can’t recommend this pack enough!

I’ve been hauling around a 30kg weighted vest for about 7 years and it absolutely blitzed my shoulders and neck. The Ruckaway is an absolute game changer - I can carry my work gear in it and the Ruckaway doesn't get mistaken around the streets of Brisbane for a suicide bombers vest. Cheers, Adrian S.

Outstanding quality and attention to detail! I couldn’t be happier with my Ruckaway rucking backpack. The build quality is exceptional — every stitch, strap, and buckle feels designed to last. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into the details: the balance is perfect, the padding is just right, and it handles weight comfortably on long walks. Customer service was also top-notch — fast, friendly, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare these days to find a company that cares this much about both the...

I'm super happy with my Ruckaway backpack and 15kg weight. I've officially retired my old sand vest (RIP to the chest bruises) and couldn't be happier with the upgrade. It's a total gamechanger! I'm already thinking about adding an extra 5kg. The gear is clearly strong and well-designed. It is a sleek design that keeps the load close to your back and has comfortable padded straps. Let's get rucking Australia!

I have used many types of weight vests and packs, and this is the most comfortable and well put together one I've owned for light to medium loads, can't fault it. Great for rucking and walking to work with clothes, laptop and a bit of extra weight to make it fun. Awesome product.

Justin A.Verified

Absolute ripper of a find! 🇦🇺🔥 Quality as, from a bloody brilliant Aussie company. I’ll start with a confession: I’d been rucking like a tightarse for months—just chucking a 10 kg dumbbell (or whatever heavy thing I could find) into my backpack and hoping for the best. Plot twist: letting a loose hunk of iron thump your lower back with every step is a terrible idea. Who knew? 🥴 Then I met the RUCKAWAY pack. And wow. Game. Changer. The weight sits locked in up near your shoulders where it’s mea...

The Hydration Bladder is a great addition to keep hydrated while you ruck. The magnetic clip makes it easy to sip from and then secure out of the way. It holds 2 litres and is easy to set up and clean.

I deliberated for weeks whether to upgrade from a normal backpack to a rucking backpack and I am so happy with my decision. The dedicated rucking backpack is so much more comfortable and I feel like I can carry heavier loads. I really like the dual pockets for ruck plates and will be looking to get more plates soon.

It's a great product and comfortable on urban walks with the 15kg weight. Bag is sturdy. Take it everywhere where I can. Has enough room to add lunch, laptop or a second weight.

Katie A.Verified

I feel like this is an accessory I will take everywhere with me. I wanted to find a fun easy way to optimise my evening walk, time is precious and energy is low after work but to just throw on my backpack is awesome. It gets the lungs going, the legs going and I can even put my shopping in the backpack!! A fantastic purchase for my fitness journey, would highly recommend.

Fits really well, weight spreads out even and great support. Walking just became a little more difficult but calories just multiplied x 2 with it 😉

So pleased with this rucksack. It’s compact, easy to fit and adjust, and very comfortable to wear when walking. And I can use it for work as well.

What a great product and is built exactly for what it’s meant to do: handle weight and stay comfortable. Been heading out each weekend for a minimum 5k ruck!

Love the bladder to go in my Ruckaway pack. Big 2L of water is plenty for long rucks. Extra weight of the 2L actually feels good when rucking! Drinking valve is simple and stays clean.

Mark W.Verified

Had been rucking with a normal backpack with weights in, this feels way better, everything is a lot more even. Seems to be well made and built to last. Only criticism hence 4 stars. No water bottle holder on the side as you may sometimes not want to use the bladder or want to stick a sports drink in.

Loving my Ruckaway Backpack. Its so strong and comfortable its giving me confidence to carry some decent weight without comprising myself. Plenty of room inside too for the walk down the markets or shops. Delivery and customer service has been excellent

Steven S.Verified

I really enjoy using the bag love the quality the weights sit nice and perfect however for some reason the bladder isnt working when im trying to have a sip it barely comes out of the hose. Ive hung upside down open the valve but having no luck. Apart from that its a great bag and rucking is something that im really enjoying. Thank you

Ravi S.Verified

Super compact and dense to allow for combining with higher weights to incrementally increase total mass. Strongly recommended for levelling up
