I’m looking for a heavy duty rucking backpack, preferably to designed with pockets to hold weighted plates in the style of the GoRuck bags.

I love the quality but the way they lean into the military patriotism leaves a bad taste.

    Although he’s not currently living in Canada, my brother is a Canadian expat now based in France. He’s about to launch a rucking kit he designed specifically for people aged 50 and over. The kit deliberately avoids any military-style vibes. It’s still being finalized, so I’m not sharing details publicly yet, but I can DM his contact information if you’d like.

      Yeah that sounds promising. If it can make the holiday season it’s a strong lead. Please DM away.

    CP Gear might be worth exploring. Although I don’t see anything specific to what GoRuck offers in the context you’re looking for, they may be able to offer something or custom make a product for you.

    They’re based out of NB: https://cpgear.com/
