Would recommend the product to anyone who wants to up they're fittness

Met all expectations. Only used a handful of times so far but a quality item fit for purpose.

Great piece of kit for weight vest, plates fit really well into vest. Slight curve means they fit the body well, ideal to either raise or lower the weight to suit.

I had been using a normal rucksack filled with heavy books the last 6 months. So new year 2026, a fitness goal to ruck with a proper rucking backpack. Delivery was fast and by courier.

The force fitness ruck sack is good quality, the custom slim 10kg weight fits perfectly and enough room in backpack to fill with any shopping on way back home. Having read other reviews, buying the hip straps is definitely needed and recommended. There is a video on instructions on how to fit the hip straps.

To date I have been on 10 rucks (3-4miles) and really enjoying my force fitness kit.

You won’t regret your purchase. 100%

A great vest with, well shaped weight pockets. Lots of attachment points. Large amount of adjustment. Very comfortable. Having used cheaper versions in the past this is well worth the extra cost. A very happy customer.

Well worth the slight extra outlay. Rucking 20kg, for me, the hip belt is essential. I always like to carry a proportion of the weight on my hips in addition to (most of the weight) on my shoulders. For me, I don’t agree with the outdoor shops, etc that say the split should be 70% of the weight on your hips, 30% on your shoulders. That’s never worked for me, and I’ve climbed and hiked all over the world with heavy packs. For me, it’s generally about 20 - 30% on the hips, 70 - 80% on the shoulders … that’s what works for me.
The hip belt is well made, and it attaches easily and securely (look at online videos that show how the MOLLE fastening system works … it’s easy once you see how it’s done).
Remember, it’s a “hip” belt, not a “waist” belt … it’s meant to sit on top of the hip bones so as to support some of the weight there.
Size-wise, I’ve seen one other review that says it was only just small enough to fit their 32” waist, and that if you’re thinner, it might not fit. Well, I can tell you, I’m a 28” waist, and it fits just fine, with further adjustment to make it smaller still available. Al I can guess is that the other reviewer in question is not wearing it as a “hip” belt but instead (and incorrectly) just fastening it around their waist.
Note, also, that there are two sets of MOLLE straps on either side of the rucksack, and you can attach the hip belt to the set that slightly further away, so as to make the belt that tiny bit shorter. I’d say the description of the belt fitting for waists as small as 26” is probably accurate, and in terms of adjustment for bigger waists and hips, there is loads and loads and loads, so I wouldn’t worry about it fitting if you are large.
The other benefits of the hip belt are that you can alter the distribution of weight between hips and shoulders as you walk along - useful on longer rucks to ease / shift the burden. The belt also stops the weighted rucksack from swinging around on your back.
Well worth the extra outlay.

I’d used a large rucksack for rucking, filled with many water bottles and other heavy objects plus some towels for padding.
I decided to take the plunge and buy a dedicated Force Fitness rucking backpack. BIG DIFFERENCE! Surprised just how much better it is than stuffing an ordinary rucksack full of heavy object.
1) I can ruck a heavier weight without the rucksack feeling like it’s going to break or it being massively uncomfortable. The dedicated rucking backpack is about as comfortable as 20kg on your back can be!
2. My posture when rucking is so much better with the dedicated rucking backpack than with an ordinary rucksack stuffed with heavy objects. Also, I’m not sure, but it seems my posture, generally, has improved.
3. It seems well made. Just a slight sound of stitches stretching a bit on the straps on the very first use, but no such sounds since, and it seems robust.
4. For me, the hip belt (sold separately) is essential (with a 20 kg weight). See separate review.
Great purchase. I’m a hiker, climber and mountaineer, so I have countless rucksacks. The Force Fitness rucking backpack is actually one of my favourite rucksacks I own.

Ordered the 20kg option. This gives me the ability to make the best pretty much any weight from 2-20kg. Great quality build, fits nice, doesn't chafe, great quality option

Black Weighted Vest

Black Weighted Vest

Awesome fit

It is as they say, ‘Well made.’ The Force Fit Logo is on a hook and loop patch which is fantastic. I wish it was the same on the rucksack, which is also a good product. I have been using up until now a normal rucksack. The Force Fitness rucksack and the vest have substantially improved the comfort of Rucking. The vest is fully adjustable and snug and you can use it when doing other excersises. The rucksack is very well made and both have purpose designed pouches for weighted plates which means they ain’t slopping around in yer pack. The rucksack also has carry handles which are handy for farmers carry and goblet style squats. For me the comfort of both products is the game changer.

Best exercise equipment I've ever bought. Already enabling new exercise regimes.

Great plates for weighted vest

Like everyone else, once I got up to 20kg I realised my regular backpack wasn't going to last 5 minutes and I had 4 x 5L huge water bottles hanging off my back, making my balance less than perfect. The pack is great, looks normal so I can walk around the block like a normal person. Enough space for a few other items when I wear it to the shop. Balance is great as all the weight is super close to my back. Already doing the same route about 2 minutes faster after a few weeks on 20kg. After rucking for about 3 months total now I've noticed improved core strength, better posture, better balance, more sure footed. Great customer service, I asked lots of questions and got quick answers. The alternative rucking pack from the USA makes no sense at double/triple the price. I'm using this about 5 times per week and expect it to last a long time.
