I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all you ruckers out there, the ones who have been with us since the beginning and those of you who are newer to rucking. Launching our first weighted vest designed specifically for women has been a whirlwind in the best way. And we couldn’t have done it without your encouragement and recruitment of fellow ruckers along the way. Thank you for your support in building out this fitness category that is rucking!
For years now, I’ve rucked alongside both men and women of all ages and fitness levels, listening to how they got into rucking and collecting feedback on our gear. One specific moment comes to mind as inspiration for our most recent weighted vest: when asked to lead a ruck for a local Girl Scout troop, I noticed that the young girls confidently chose their rucks and accompanying weight. Meanwhile, many of the moms were more hesitant to put on a rucksack or even a ruck plate carrier. That’s when I knew we needed to design another option for women to carry weight, one that meets these women exactly where they are.
Our female-led design teams in Jacksonville Beach and Vietnam worked closely with female ruckers to build the Spy Ruck using more than two decades of experience in this newly rediscovered form of fitness that we have embraced. Our weighted vest is tough, functional, and intentionally designed, inspired by the women who are part of the rucking community.
The response has been incredible. Spy Ruck sold out within weeks of launch and has since earned industry recognition for its low profile fit, breathable construction and performance during training, including:
Best Weighted Vest, 2026 SHAPE Fitness Awards
Best Weighted Vest for HIIT and CrossFit, Yahoo Health
And more awards to be announced soon!
But best of all has been hearing from women who love their Spy Rucks: |
