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

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.

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.

If you want to be able to quickly throw on some weight for ruck training, weighted pullups, or similar training, then pair this with the GoRuck RPC 3.0 standard and you're ready to go. This 30lb plate fits perfectly in the RPC 3.0 standard. The 30lb weight, once the top flap is closed, leaves just enough velcro showing on the back of the carrier to fit a standard sized velcro name tape, which is ideal for me. There are cheaper alternatives out there, but the 30 pound plates in particular are hard to find at these specific dimensions. (It is easier to find 30, 35, and 45 pound plates to fit the RPC 3.0 long). What you do get for the higher price of the GoRuck plate here, though, is the impeccable finish and high quality casting that comes from a made in America product. Now that many of the competitor ruck plates have been rising in price, the value for the money makes even more sense.

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.

Needed a heavier plate for the smaller pouch. Pretty expensive but no rust and since I have the goruck backpack, this fits perfectly. I would use cheaper weight if they came in thise size solid but I didnt see one for this size. Worth the buy if you want the weight to fit snug and not worrying about rust.
