Are you guys using any other weight plates with this rucksack? I'm not willing to pay $90 for a 20lb weight when they're much cheaper on amazon but I'm not sure if another brand will fit properly.

Put a titan in the elastic part and not the pocket.
No brand will fit right over 15lb. You can put a cheaper plate in the elastic pocket.
I have been using 2 10lb barbell plates ducktaped together for 2 years now. Use them for every light and Star course. Used to just throw an extra 10lb in for the toughs before I bought a dedicated plate. Used same idea when in Normandy for those events and didn’t want to check weight platea
some of the cheapo amazon plates will fit into a large neoprene laptop holder which can then be stuffed with hand towels on the sides to get the right width and then slid into the plate compartment (adding some nice padding as well)
I have a local machine shop that will make a 3x10lb plate set for ~$60. It's bare steel, but I had my local powder-coat shop take care of that for $30. Still not cheap, but now I at least have a modular weight set that can be scaled up or down...plus the 10lb is nice since it is the "right" dimension for the plate pocket.
You can find GoRuck Plates on offer up usually cheaper and eBay. I got the complete set of weights using these two sites.
Based on dimensions for the Rucker Plates these should fit. I’m about to order 2 of them and put them in the single slot, stacked end to end.
ADD* referring to the 15 and 10 # sizes. I didn’t check the dimensions of the other weights
Yes4All Cast Iron Ruck Weight – Multi Weights Available: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 45lbs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XT4TXKX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_73J8Fb8RYEFT6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Own both the 20 and the 30 Yes4all plates. Neither will fit in the Rucker 3.0 ruck pocket. The 20lb is too long. Will fit in the elastic pocket.
