The GORUCK Weight Vest is a excellent piece of functional equipment to add to your training tool kit.
Compatible with the GORUCK Ruck Plates and the Rogue Vest Weights, this is a great fitting, great feeling, piece of gear. Add in the GORUCK SCARS Lifetime Warranty and I highly recommend this piece of gear for anyone in the market.

The vest feels great. The use of the 210d Cordura for the interior and the straps reminds me of one of the reasons I love the new GORUCK Rucker 3.0. It just feels good.
When using the GORUCK Ruck Plates, the vest feels very snug. Obviously, having a giant 30# rectangle on your chest is gonna feel a little bulky. But, at the same time, it feel like I'm ready to do some hard work... and I like hard work.
If you have the Rogue Vest Plates, the fit is actually amazing. They are thin and contoured for your body. This will be my go-to when training with the vest.
Weight Vest Price Point and Warranty
GORUCK Gear Sale
Rucks, plates, and apparel — current deals from GORUCK.
At $150, the GORUCK Weight Vest is comparable to other weight vests in the market. What sets it apart for me is the SCARS warranty.
GORUCK stands behind its gear and knowing that if anything happens to the vest during my lifetime, GORUCK will fix it makes the investment something I can get behind.
Do I Recommend the GORUCK Weight Vest?
Yes. If you're looking to add a Weight Vest to your training, the GORUCK Weight Vest is a great vest and comes with the knowledge that if something happens to it, GORUCK will take care of you.
The compatibility with GORUCK Ruck Plates (which many of our readers already own) give greater versatility to loading without added expense. And, if you have the ability, being able to also use the Rogue Weights is a very nice bonus.
In the end, I love the vest and can't wait to bring the pain for the Memorial Day Murph this year!
