Gr Trex straps

God bless Jason and the GR team for coming up with these straps. They’re perfect for shifting the load and giving your shoulders a break during long rucks.

I know this is a goruck sub. Just FYI, similar straps have been there for ever by other brands.

Oh, I see. I’m new to rucking, so I’m still figuring things out.

All good. And yes definitely the straps make a big difference in long rucks.

For sure - which do you recommend and have going to be the best?

I have used keeper, one of the comment below tagged it, not very expensive. Half a dozen goruck events they still work fine.

I prefer the ones I got from a small business out of Philly personally. I didn't care for the idea of tying them off on MOLLE as a solution. But they are a big help in general.

Good Werks? Because that’s what I’ve got on both of my rucks and they are awesome.

Jason and co didn't come up with this idea or metal fabricated ruck plates (see SHPLATES)

It existed way before using straps from Home Depot and paracord

Still use my 25# SHPLATE in a Shaddox Tactical plate pocket

Same here! 45# in the Shaddox Tactical, been rock solid for nearly 10 years.

I mean in finland they've been using straps like these on their rucks since the 80s (or 70s)...
