Our verdict

This is about as basic as it gets — a fixed weight vest with no adjustability, aimed purely at letting someone try rucking without spending much or dealing with plate systems. The obvious downside is you can't increase load as your fitness improves, meaning most people outgrow this within a few months of regular training. Treat it as a genuine trial option rather than a long-term piece of kit.
