Our verdict

This is built specifically with rucking distance in mind rather than short gym sets — the weight plates distribute evenly around the torso instead of concentrating on the chest or back, which makes a real difference over several kilometres. The adjustable plate system means you can start light and build up load over time as fitness improves, without buying a new vest. The mesh lining helps manage sweat on longer sessions, which matters far more here than in a 20-minute gym workout.
