More gouruk @AOD:

“Available in £20 And £30 Configuration-wise, the Achilles Vest offers the benefits of loaded movement and functional fitness in a sleek, low-profile silhouette, making it an acceptable choice for anyone looking to enhance their training through weighted movement.

Born from a simple observation that many men are attracted to slimmer vest designs for their comfort and balance, but wanted a solution that would be able to withstand heavy loads and conform to the male body. The Achilles answers that demand with a purpose-built design that comfortably distributes weight while remaining handy for everyday training. – Goruk

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

GORUCK is a company whose DNA comes from US 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 meeting his wife Emily McCarthy, who was working as a CIA case officer, he focused on preparing her for any situation she might encounter. McCarthy soon designed a “go bag” for Emily. His goal was very simple, “Build a rucksack with life-or-death quality standards that will thrive in Baghdad and NYC” Today, GORUCK is a globally recognized brand for creating some of the toughest rucksacks in the world. They also offer training programs where highly motivated individuals can test the limits of their strength and physical strength.
