“So far like the ruck pack overall. Love the wide hip and shoulder straps. Much more comfortable to ruck with then a weight vest. Wish it came with chest straps. Had to tie off the webbing bc otherwise it’s so slick it immediately slides out of the buckle.”
“I love the vest! My only issue is after a couple weeks of use the velcro is starting to pull away at the stitching seems, if this wasn't the case I'd give this a 5/5.”
“There was a hiccup in the original order the delayed the delivery, but once it was brought to the attention of Brute management resolved the issue very quickly. Delivery was on time after issued resolved.”
“I recently purchased the Ruck Race Pack with additional filler bags. I haven’t used it much yet so I can’t speak to actual performance. Out of the box tho- the filler bags were very difficult to put into the pockets. Instructions on how to fit the pack and install the sternum strap would’ve been helpful. These are minor details, now I need to get to training!”
“Does the job well. I tried to make my own ruck pack, but various muscles were always sore. This keeps the weight up near my shoulders. I liked the idea of weight bags vs a plate. Would be an improvement if there was one designed for women--the belt strap doesn't tighten enough, and I'm a size 18!--and the shoulder straps cut in a bit but nothing that stops me from wearing. I only use 1 - 1.5 hours to get more from my regular walks. (I don't use this for heavy duty training.) Not sure if I could wear longer comfortably so can't speak to that. For reference, I'm 5'4"”
“like it......but wish you had a course for women middle aged and older. Some of these shown exercises are a bit much. I'm still trying to figure out how to lift the snadbag onto my shouders!! Any suggestions appreciated.”
“I get a lot of use out of all the training equipment I have purchased from BF. My training friends have also purchased vests and bags and using the app we have great training sessions. We can meet anywhere and train since it is all portable. I feel my fitness is at a high level as a result of the ease of training and the variety of workouts. I”
“I enjoy the product and academy PT has been good. Customer service is lacking and inconsistent. I was making a purchase for my department's training academy and it was difficult to make contact with one individual to make a purchase of approximately 40 sandbags. Efforts to follow up on the multiple purchases were hit and miss. I think the concept of Brute Bucks is nice; however, when the only benefit is the same discount signing up for emails gets you, a purchase such as this does not allow me to use rewards for additional academy equipment.”
“I purchased a vest and three duffles. I really like the duffles. They seem to be durable and I have not had any leakage of sand or gravel. I also like the multiple handles which facilitate lifting the bags in multiple ways.
The vest is durable and much more comfortable than other vests. My only complaint is that the bags stick out pretty far in the front and this is not communicated in the video ads.”
“Mixed review. I love the sandbags. I have all three sizes and have ordered extra refillable bags but I am very disappointed in the straps. The straps sit very high on my neck and arms and require a towel to prevent chaffing. The straps are also very loose; they do not stay tight. I would not recommend the straps.”
“Daily WODs are great and provide a variety of functional training that I can go to. One suggestion for improvement for the app is the exercise library, make it easier to search for the exercises rather than having to scroll through all the thumbnails and looking for the correct one. Have a search bar to find it easier and put them in alphabetical order or categories. Otherwise the bags and weighted vest are well constructed and durable.”
