“Available in 20lb and 30lb configurations, the Achilles Vest delivers the benefits of loaded movement and functional fitness in a sleeker, lower-profile silhouette making it an approachable option for anyone looking to elevate their training through weighted movement. 

Born from a simple observation that is many men gravitated toward slimmer vest designs for their comfort and balance but wanted a solution capable of supporting heavier loads and built around the male physique. Achilles answers that demand with a purpose-built design that distributes weight comfortably while remaining easy to throw on for everyday training.” – GORUCK

The product is expected to launch soon, and I am personally looking forward to its release and to maybe even add it to my collection of workout equipment in my apartment. One of the things I really enjoy about all of the GORUCK equipment is that it’s great if you have limited space to store gym equipment or would rather get that pump while enjoying the outdoors and maybe even some of the elements. 

GORUCK is a company whose very DNA comes from U.S. Army Special Operations. The company was started in 2008 by Jason McCarthy who served as a communications sergeant in the 10th Special Forces Group, and saw combat in Iraq. While visiting his wife – Emily McCarthy – who was working as a CIA case officer, he focused on equipping her for any situation that she might encounter. McCarthy soon designed a “go bag” for Emily. Their goal was pretty simple, “Build a rucksack with life-or-death quality standards that would thrive in Baghdad and NYC.” Today, GORUCK is a globally recognized brand for building some of the toughest rucksacks in the world. They also offer training events where highly motivated individuals can test the limits of their rucks and physical strength.
