How to use tactical training gear in your training?

For strength, endurance, and mental resilience

Tactical gear makes your training harder, literally. The goal is not only physical progress but also mental sharpness and functional strength. A few examples:

Rucking backpacks: weighted hikes for stronger legs, core, and lung capacity
Tactical weight vests: perfect for push-ups, air squats, or stair climbing with extra load
Sandbags: lifting, carrying, dragging, or hoisting - with an unstable load that challenges your body
Weight plates: choose your own load and easily adjust your intensity

These tools provide unpredictable resistance, causing your body to learn to adapt – just like in real situations outside the gym.

Ready for the next step in your training?

Do you want to train with a purpose? Do you want to become stronger, more resilient, and more functional? Then this collection is for you. Whether you choose a tactical vest, sandbag, or rucking pack: you choose progress.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tactical Training & Gear

what is better: a weighted vest or a rucking backpack for rucking?

It depends on your training goal. A rucking backpack is designed for longer distances with extra weight. By carrying the weight closer to your center of gravity (through your back and hips), you prevent overloading your shoulders and back. For rucks of 30+ minutes or distances over 2–3 km, a rucking backpack is highly recommended.

A weighted vest is better suited for short, intense workouts like sprints, pull-ups, air squats, or burpees. It distributes the weight evenly over the upper body, allowing you to maintain freedom of movement. It is also ideal for calisthenics or CrossFit.

In short: choose a vest for bodyweight workouts, a backpack for loaded walking.

How much weight should I use as a beginner when rucking?

For beginners, it is recommended to start with 10 to 15% of your body weight. That means for someone weighing 70 kg a backpack of about 7 to 10 kg. Focus the first weeks on technique, running posture, and breathing. Start with 2 to 3 km and then gradually increase the distance or the weight, but never both at the same time.

Pro tip: build up slowly. Rucking is about progressive overload, just like strength training – not about wearing yourself out on day one.

Does a weighted vest have benefits for bone density and posture?

Certainly. Studies show that extra weight load during functional movements (such as walking, squats, or climbing stairs) promotes bone density, especially in women and older athletes. The body responds to the increased mechanical stress by strengthening bones (Wolff’s law).

Additionally, a weighted vest forces you to improve core stability, which strengthens your posture. You learn to engage your core, keep your shoulders down, and move with more control.

Result: better posture, stronger bones, higher overall load capacity.

which backpack is most suitable for rucking?

A good rucking backpack must meet a few important criteria:

Durable and abrasion-resistant material such as 1000D Cordura Nylon
Reinforced back structure or a frame sheet to keep weight stable
Padded shoulder straps and back panel for comfort
Hip belt to relieve pressure from your shoulders
Fixed compartments or inserts for weight plates so the weight does not shift

can you use a regular backpack for rucking?

Technically: yes. Practically: no. A regular backpack is not designed to hold 10–20 kg steadily against your spine. The result? Shifting weight, pressure on the shoulders, and chafing straps. This can lead to injuries or blisters.

A rucking backpack has reinforcement in all the right places, better ventilation, an ergonomic design, and is tested for load.

Conclusion: if you want to take it seriously, choose a backpack built for rucking.
