THE MOST STREAMLINED WAY TO CARRY THE WEIGHT

The Ruck Plate Carrier (aka RPC) houses a Ruck Plate perfectly and is worn high and tight on your back for natural stability. Your chest stays open so you can breathe better to ruck longer.

The RPC is built for comfort under weight, with a padded top handle, cushioned plate pocket, ergonomic lumbar support, and a non-abrasive back panel and shoulder straps — so comfortable you can wear it against your skin, no friction burn, no problem.

When in doubt, start with 20LBS.

If you have big traps, go with the RPC LONG.

Purpose Built for Ruck Plates

The Ruck Plate Carrier (Standard) is ideal for carrying 10 lb, 20 lb, or 30 lb Standard Ruck Plates. It’s the perfect place to start if you’re new to rucking or want to add some extra suck to your workouts. The Ruck Plate Carrier (Long) fits a 30 lb Long or 45 lb Long plate and is ideal if you’re a larger guy. The Ruck Plate Carrier (Heavy) carries up to two 45 lb plates (or a 45 + a 30 Long, etc.) for your toughest rucks.

Zero Irritation When Rucking Shirtless

Say goodbye to friction burn. All-new 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps is less abrasive and doesn't irritate skin or chew up delicate apparel.

Ergonomic Lumbar Support

An extra 10mm of EVA foam padding at the bottom of the back panel supports your spine’s natural curve. It’s raised to reduce friction from seams, and even if it’s against bare skin, it won’t rub you the wrong way.

Extra Padded Straps + Top Lid

The shoulder straps are extra padded so you can carry the weight more comfortably. Plus, tons of padding (1" thick) at the top to protect during dynamic movements. Our dual-density foam will not collapse under the pressure.

Overbuilt Construction

Overbuilt with military-grade materials like 1050D Ballistic CORDURA®, reinforced at every stress point, and field-tested in the harshest conditions.

Keeps Chest Open

Keeping the weight off your chest and fully on your back opens up your lungs — so you can breathe easier, move better, and ruck longer. Free your chest with Rule #1: Always Look Cool.

Easy to Clean

There’s no spacer mesh on the RPC so it doesn’t absorb all the stink. Just spray it down with a hose and scrub with soapy water if needed. Hang to dry.
