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.

Ruck Plate Compatibility

The Ruck Plate Carrier (Standard) is ideal for carrying 10LB, 20LB, or 30LB 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 30LB Long or 45LB Long plate and is ideal if you’re a larger guy. The Ruck Plate Carrier (Heavy) carries up to two 45lb plates (or a 45 + a 30 Long, etc.) for your toughest rucks.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hannah P. ★★★★★

The way it sits high and tight on my back means zero bouncing even when I'm moving fast, and my chest stays completely free to breathe. Honestly, the plate feels like it's part of me now, not a separate weight I'm hauling around.

Penelope H. ★★★★★

Took it on a few ruck sessions and the plate stays locked in place even when I’m moving fast, which was my biggest worry. The chest being unobstructed really changes how I breathe on longer carries — no more feeling like I’m fighting the straps.

Richard ★★★★★

The way it sits high and tight means zero bounce even when I’m moving fast, and my chest never feels crowded. I loaded it with a 45lb plate and forgot it was there by mile two.
