Ruck recommendations for long torso.
Getting ready to start the Q and looking for ruck recommendations from anyone who’s had success with the longer torso. I am 6’3, don’t need anything for an NBA player.
I’ve spent a lot of time under a MOLLE II and a Malice. Love the Malice for cultural reasons, but with any real weight the waist belt sitting too high gives me some back issues after prolonged use. The choice between cinching it high and tight or dropping it for support but losing the fit has gotten old enough that I’m ready to throw some money at a solution.
If someone made an XL ALICE frame that would be my first choice, but I can’t find anything that fits the bill. Short of that, I’m looking at MR but wanted to hear from anyone who’s been down this road before I pull the trigger. I’m at Bragg and am happy to splurge for anything custom in Fayetteville area as well.
