GORUCK Train With Sand Equipment

Specs
Primary Material: 1000D Cordura
Throat Material: 1000D Cordura

Scars Lifetime Guarantee
Tough Gear

GORUCK makes the toughest gear out there, and they back it up always with their Scars Lifetime Warranty. If you manage to break it, they’ll fix it or replace it! I’ve been using GORUCK gear for years. I’m currently serving in the Armed Forces and wear the MACV-1 Boots daily, both in uniform and out of uniform. I have both the GR1 EDC backpack and the Rucker. And I train wearing the Ballistic Trainers. Needless to say, I use GORUCK equipment a lot.

Recently, GORUCK released a new line of equipment called “Train with Sand” and the possibilities are endless for training! I’ll probably do a specific post on this, so I’ll keep this short. Training with sand is effective for core strength, it reduces the risk of injury, and you can have an empty bag and carry it while travelling and then fill it up at your destination and get some solid workouts in! These are definitely worth it to have.
