GORUCK Ruck Plate – USA Made Weight for Rucking, Strength & Fitness, Fits with Rucker & Ruck Plate Carrier – 10LB, 20LB, 30LB, 45LB

It is exactly what it says. 30Lbs of cast iron, ready to forge your squishy self into a weapon. It is the antidote to dad bod, erectile dysfunction, male pattern baldness, trigger warnings, love handles, lack of libido, general wussery, complaining, poorly trained dogs, whiny children and grumpy spouses. It put 2 cup sizes on my wife when I took it out of the box. The dog started doing push-ups and singing the star spangled banner without me saying a word. I slid this bad boy up in my ruck, slung it on my back, took a deep breath, and immediately heard a bald eagle scream from the treetops. Legend has it he'll do the same for you. The fit and finish are as expected from this company, which is to say bombproof. it did a number on the Fedex box, but the plate was fine. If you are the type of human that complains about a scratch on your ruck plate due to free shipping, then you probably need to just not buy this and go pop another bag of doritos on the couch while you complain about being out of shape. Happy rucking. Stay dangerous and see you out there.

Superbly built and fits perfectly in my GR1. Have always wanted one but shipping from the US was just so expensive. Luckily there was free shipping for the 20lbs plate. Highly recommended.

Fits perfectly in my ruck bag. Love it! Great for a quick hike or workout. Worth the cost for the weight distribution. Super durable.

Cardboard is beaten and battered. A weak man was forced to carry this. I lifted it into my kit one handed. Great plate

How was the item? Heavy. That’s why I bought it! I appreciate how it fits so well into the GORUCK plate carrier. Of course, it also fits handsomely into the GORUCK backpack too. I have used it a few times since it arrived in both of those packs. It is easy to slide from one to the other. It is an exact fit for the plate carrier. I do have some other plates that have notches on the sides. Those notches also fit, but they are much more difficult to transfer because of the tolerances on the plate carrier—the notches, designed to anchor two plates together manage to hang up on the plate carrier. So, having the genuine GORUCK plate makes the packs more accessibly versatile. And, I might point out, the plates are durable. Heck, they’re cast iron, but the plate seems to be coated with a rust inhibiting treatment. I wouldn’t leave the plates out in the rain, but it is good to know that they are coated with a rust inhibiter. The handles on the plate are large which makes it easy to grab and adjust the weights in a pack. Because of the size of the grab handles, this plate can be used for other exercises in addition to being put in a pack. 20lbs is 20lbs no matter who manufactured the plate. The GORUCK plate was certainly more expensive that other plates that could be used. I will admit that I got the GORUCK plate for me it was the matter of convenience.

could probably find something laying on the side of the road that achieves the same outcome but it's cool that it's US made and works well with the Asian made ruck sack from the same company.

Not being made in China earns this an extra star, but the quality is less than expected for cast iron @ $3/lb. There are no sharp edges, but some rough spots that should have been ground down before powder coating. No one's ever going to see them, but it may affect the long term adhesion of the coating. But then again, it's cast iron that will be kept locked away in your pack. Unless you are OCD, you will get over it. It does fit the GORUCK basic rucker perfectly and the weight is accurate.

Well built and rust protected.

What to say?

Good

The Goruck Ruck Plates 30 Lbs fits has very effective design and very durable quality. It fit perfectly on my Goruck Ruck Plate Carrier. It caught many attentions when I carried it for marching and weighted vest trainings. It is value for money. I am very glad with the purchase. Thank you very much.
