The Details: Built for comfort and durability

The new Built For Athletes Rucking Backpack is made from Cordura® fabric for high wear resistance, with YKK® zippers for reliable access. The water and stain-resistant fabric adds protection for your gear in various conditions.

The backpack features ergonomic straps with sweat-wicking technology and a weight-distributing back panel to reduce strain during use. For added versatility, there’s a MOLLE system for attaching extra gear.

Inside, you’ll find strips designed to secure a 10kg weight plate. The backpack measures 32cm x 27cm x 10cm and has been tested to handle loads up to 25kg.

Nick Costello, the brand’s founder and creative director, explains: “We’re excited to launch the Built For Athletes Rucking Backpack, specifically designed to meet the needs of our community, many of whom were already repurposing our premium gym backpacks for this rapidly growing fitness activity.”
