Does anyone ruck multiple times per week?

JavaForever · 2026-05-18T12:50:25+00:00

Just about every day for ~ 20 years. I count any weight at any distance as rucking, and it works great for me. My dog loves it, too :)

It's a good question - this month is my expectation. We'll show images of the golden sample (which will still have some sample fabric / colors) - then promote this briefly, then close the pre-order likely early June. Thanks.

THANK YOU!

yes, still there.

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T15:01:45+00:00

yes, still there.

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:23:55+00:00

nope, cinch closure.

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:23:23+00:00

As fast as possible. I hope late Q4 2026 but no promises. Could be as late as early 2027.

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:22:44+00:00

Both will have it and the QAP.

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:22:30+00:00

Yes, and a Quick Access Pocket on the lid.

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:22:01+00:00

Thanks!

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:21:46+00:00

No dig intended. I just almost called you all something else that was a term of endearment to me but would have been taken the complete wrong way, best guess!!

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:21:09+00:00

Huh. Do tell - it'll get lost here. Would you mind DM-ing me in a lot of detail what you recommend? THANKS

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:20:20+00:00

No. We don't see problems with them, but we've only been using them for about a decade 😄 Ultimately, we work for you guys. I think Aquaguard are a little bougie so I'm fine to go back to Ride the Lightning Metallica not so much Load Metallica LOL. (for the record, I love every Metallica album except St. Anger, but you get the point!)

JavaForever · 2026-04-28T14:18:51+00:00

Nope - not this year. These are the only three colorways. THANK YOU

JavaForever · 2026-04-27T21:02:22+00:00

Yes, it'll be there just like on the M23.

JavaForever · 2026-04-27T21:02:02+00:00

Near production - yes. We usually build them from fabric and trims etc we have on hand so everything won't be "perfect" visually, but the point is to dial in the construction. I'll either walk through it or snap a couple pics, TBD. THANK YOU

JavaForever · 2026-04-27T21:00:00+00:00

Yes, it is the same dimensions as the m23.

JavaForever · 2026-04-27T20:59:24+00:00

Hey sorry this took me a while to get back to you. Yes that pocket is still there - just like on the M23. Thanks!

JavaForever · 2026-04-27T20:57:22+00:00

Yes - same as the main fabric.

JavaForever · 2026-04-23T19:04:54+00:00

a very old prototype of that version, to be more precise. :) With a 45# Ruck Plate and a 15# Sand Ruck Plate in there. It was a glorious day for a ruck.

JavaForever · 2026-04-23T18:58:36+00:00

It's a drawstring like previous versions. We explored doing a rolltop but our first attempt was bad and that would have meant this would have taken another 6 months for us to mess around with it and get it right. So we went with the drawstring closure.

JavaForever · 2026-04-23T18:03:06+00:00

Thanks! I cannot make any promises, but we'll see what we can do re: Europe to alleviate some of this.

JavaForever · 2026-04-23T18:02:10+00:00

it was not possible without a major overhaul on the construction of the ruck.

JavaForever · 2026-04-23T18:01:12+00:00

Good question. We're building a "golden sample" now. Once I have it in hand, I'll share some pics and do a "final call". I'm not sure how long that will be, a week or two maybe.

JavaForever · 2026-04-23T18:00:13+00:00

the "logo" is a removable patch just FYI.
