It was a little pricey, but it has held up great through consistent use over the last 2 years. I would definitely recommend getting the shoulder pads with it. I do not have them and the straps can cut bare skin if you're not wearing a shirt underneath, especially while running with the vest.
Let me know, I'd be happy to collaborate on something in the future!
I like that rucking is getting more attention! While training for some 14'ers, I carried my 50+lb backpack through my neighborhood nearly every day. Lately, on my "rest" days, I’ve incorporated walking (and now running 1-2 miles) in my neighborhood with a 20lb weight vest, and it’s a game changer. Definitely feel the endurance and strength benefits you mentioned. Have you found a sweet spot for rucking weight, or are you gradually increasing over time? Do you prefer a weighted vest or a backpack with weights?
The idea of using local honey as a natural allergy shot makes sense, but I’ve heard mixed takes on whether it’s placebo or science-backed. Have you noticed a difference since adding it to your routine?
I've noticed that inflammation and muscle soreness are drastically reduced if I hydrate properly before, during, and after vigorous activities. I'd like to learn more about this for my future recovery efforts.
While preparing for backcountry bow hunts I would ruck the neighborhood in full kit, coming in at around 45lbs. I’m carrying 30lbs right now and it seems to be a nice sweet spot for me in the moment. I feel like I can carry it for days, but still get the benefits of weighted carry. Also towing along a 20lb kettlebell for unilateral work and grip strength.
Do you mind sharing the vest that you’re using? I feel like there are a ton of options out there so would love to hear your feedback from testing.
My preference shifts with the activity. For a slower pace and heavy weight I prefer a backpack, if I’m doing a HITT or cardio I much prefer a vest apparatus.
I am roughly two weeks into the natural allergen remedy, and I have yet to deal with congestion. The long jury is still out, but I am enjoying it thus far. I’m attributing the majority of the work to the Elderberry syrup. But, I also like the honey for a quick fuel.
Regarding hydration, I’m fascinated by the science as it seems to be the most critical component for our bodies. It will certainly be a topic that gets revisited. I sense a guest article featuring Koby Lawson in the future!

Awesome that’s it’s gaining steam!

Great info as we head into spring and summer! Plus rucking may be a nice prod to get into beach body shape!
