    GORUCK Rucker 3.0 25L | Review & Plate Compatibility Test
    In this video I show you and in depth look at the GORUCK Rucker 3.0 and explain why it's a superior rucksack than the cheap bag I've been using for the last year and a half. I compare the two bags, give you a look at how they fit differently, and show you how different ruck plates fit into the 35L Rucker 3.0.

    Thanks for the video. I’m looking at getting the Rucker 3.0. I’m fine paying for the bag but not $110 for a single 35lb plate. Thanks for testing out the budget plate for us.

    Good video review - I have the black 3.0 and love it. Yes - only pack with 2 holders from GoRuck. Got a friend to get one as well and we meet up weekly. Great way to burn calories and get in the woods or walk the hood.

    I just got mine today to replace my GR1. If you've EVER done any kind of aggressive ruck workout with a GR1 and a weight plate, then you too have probably had you bell rung by a sliding plate while doing push ups, LOL! Looking forward to this bad boy. Dedicated velcro plate pockets, side handles, and lumbar support are welcomed upgrades. Cheers!

      @Levi.Jaeckel  3 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the review! I keep coming back to this video while making a decision. I am also 6'2, was wondering if you feel the 25L is tall enough for you, or if you would maybe prefer the Long Range variants (1/2" - 2" taller)?

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  2 роки тому +1

    Hey thanks for putting this video together! I got the exact same set up now. It seems with the off brand plates you need to stabilize them a little more to keep them from sliding side to side, maybe with something like a cut up pool noodle. Also I noticed a 10 lb plate fits nice in the second pocket as well.

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  3 роки тому +2

      Wow, the pool noodle is an awesome idea. I have noticed a little slide with the off-brand plates, too. This weekend I used a water bladder on a long ruck for the first time, I could tell the bladder was helping keep the plates in place. A permanent noodle would definitely make a difference. Appreciate the share!

    Great Review!! Do you think titan plate 20lb (13.5x7x0.99) would fit to the secondary pocket? goruck 20lb plate is (11.5x9x0.84) and they said that goruck plate will fit to the secondary pocket, but I am trying to save some money by buying alternative plates.. I am trying to ruck with 45lb in the main pocket and the 20lb in the secondary pocket, but the titan plate is 2" taller so that it might not fit to the secondary pocket?
    I am exactly looking for the same model you had. goruck rucker 3.0 coyote brown😮😮.

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  2 роки тому +1

      It’s an awesome pack, you won’t be disappointed.
      I don’t think the Titan Plate will fit in the secondary Velcro pocket. There’s a chance that both the 45lb plate and the 20lb plate could slide together in the big pocket, but I don’t have a 45lb plate to test that. Regardless, in that situation, a 20lb plate will still fit in the bag. It doesn’t have to go in the pocket at all. I’ve also seen people use the GORUCK sand bells as extra weight. That’s a cheaper option than their branded plate and may be more comfortable sitting freely in the ruck.

    You sold me. I'm in the Tampa area also. Is there a good trail (with different elevations) to rucking in this area?

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  3 роки тому

      Nice man! Unfortunately, elevation is tough for us to come by here locally. Unless we are tackling some of the causeway bridges. Sometimes that’s accessible and sometimes it’s too much to coordinate.
      If you specifically need to hit elevation gain and loss I would work that into some of your training in the gym. Work those single leg exercises, lunge variations, step-up variations. That will at least simulate some of the incline work we can’t practice on the trails.
      Thanks for reaching out!

    Question I'm getting the goruck 3.0 plate carrier, which plates outside of goruck can actually fit into the actual carrier because I'm trying to save money getting the 20 to 30 pounds plates

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  2 роки тому

      I've gotten this question a lot and unfortunately cheap +20lbs don't fit in the Plate Carrier. I have 20 and 30lbs that you can find here amzn.to/3z0aas0 but they are too tall for the Plate Carrier. Keep an eye on GORUCK's site, though. They'll frequently run a bundle deal for the Plate Carrier and a plate of your choice for like $150 shipped. Watch their site here. goruck.go2cloud.org/SH36L

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  2 роки тому

      Actually, here's an idea. Follow that GORUCK link above and then click their "closeout" tabs. They've got a 45lb Ruck Plate Carrier available for $80. That size of RPC should be able to hold the taller generic plates that I linked above. All-In that's around $100.

    Enjoyed the video, and I've thought about giving rucking a try. Took a look at the Goruck bags and they are very expensive! Are they worth $200 more than a 5.11 bag?

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  3 роки тому +4

      That’s actually a good topic for another video. Personally, I looked at it like this. This will be an A+ training bag for as long as I could ever want to ruck with it. And, it can easily double as a travel bag and an outdoor adventure bag. It’s got a lifetime warranty so it’s a safe long term purchase. And… I spent a year and a half with a really cost effective bag first to make sure that rucking was something that was valuable to my training routine. Thanks for this question, this is a really practical topic

    Would you then be able to add a (3rd) plate to the second slot even after having two plates in the first or would that make it to tight to do so?

    • @Levi.Jaeckel
      @Levi.Jaeckel  3 роки тому +1

      I didn’t test wether all three of those plates will fit, simply because going to 65lbs sounds awful haha. The two plates in the big pocket do bulge the sleeve just a touch, but I bet there’s enough room in the second slot. There’s definitely enough room to slide in those old ten pound iron plates that I have.
