First… Sizing. What plates fit where?

From my playtesting, I’ve found that each plate fits in the following rucks…

10lb : 10L Bullet, 15L Bullet, GR0, GR1, GR2



20lb : 10L Bullet, 15L Bullet, GR0, GR1, GR2



30lb : 15L Bullet, GR0, GR1, GR2



The 30lb plate is significantly thicker than the others. Not a big deal, but unexpected.

I don’t really recommend using the Bullet Rucks with plates. They fit, but there isn’t a ton of room for the water bladder and in the case of the 30lber, not enough room for a full bladder, but there is room for a partially filled one very snuggly. The straps aren’t meant for that kind of weight either. It just isn’t comfortable over time under weight.

Second… Placement. How can I arrange it in my ruck?

A few options here. Laptop compartment, main pocket in the elastic pocket, or strapped to the MOLLE at the top.

Laptop compartment : My personal favorite since it leaves room for gear in the ruck, but if you just insert the plate, it sits low and will slide up/down when inverted (during bear crawls and the like). How do I solve that? Butchered a yoga block and stuck it at the bottom of the pocket. Soft bottom and keeps the weight up high.



Elastic pocket : Fits well, but isn’t secure. This is my 2nd choice for rucking, but third for events because it’s free-floating and could cause some issues. Just going for a ruck, it’s easy to slap into the pocket and go. That’s why it’s in 2nd.



Strapped to the MOLLE : Last, but not least. It keeps the weight high and secure which is good. The bad? It’s annoying to take out and put back in place. The other 2 methods are much faster/easier to deal with.



Third… Comfort. How do they feel?

Solid cast iron. What’s there to say? Keep it flat against your back and it’ll feel fine.

Update: After some feedback, I realized that I left off the edging. The edges are well rounded and won’t snag on anything, comfortable for prolonged carry via the handles or use as a training tool on its own. Very smooth.

Overall thoughts?

High quality at a really reasonable price point. It’s a hunk of metal so there isn’t a ton that can go wrong here, but still very impressive craftsmanship. The handles are convenient for strapping it, but also make for a reasonable kettlebell replacement in a pinch. Great product and a solid buy. Nice work guys.
