Meet the Spy Ruck: GORUCK’s first weighted vest built for women

GORUCK just dropped the Spy Ruck, its first weighted training vest made specifically for women. Created by co-founder and former CIA Intelligence Officer Emily McCarthy, it pairs military-grade durability with a female-focused fit.

Field-tested for quality and comfort

After countless prototypes and testing miles, the Spy Ruck addresses the problems many women face with traditional weighted vests — fit, comfort, and balance.

It’s made with odorless, rust-resistant steel pellets, a soft-wicking interior that feels good against bare skin, and subtle reflective details for visibility. Padded shoulder straps reduce shoulder strain during longer sessions.

GORUCK’s new Spy Ruck in Desert Strom colorway.

Constructed from 420D Robic® fabric, the vest is tough enough yet lightweight, designed to contour to female frames for even weight distribution without pulling forward or back.

The Spy Ruck comes in three weight options: 8lb ($89), 12lb ($99), and 16lb ($109), available in Black, Desert Storm (dusty rose), and Storm (sage green).
