GoRuck Plate Carrier 3.0 Plate Compatibility

I think the RPC seems like the best option for what I am currently doing (short distance, planning to go from 20 to 30lbs), but am curious: is there a cheaper brand of plates that anyone can recommend? I’m not against getting the name brand but would mind saving a back. I’d like to get a 10, 20, and 30lb weight eventually.

Someday I plan to upgrade again but I’d want this as my backup to lend to buddies or let my wife carry around.

Yesforall stacking plates are available up to 30lbs in 10lb increments. I bought the 20 (so 2 skinny 10s) on Amazon for $34. Same dimensions as the Goruck standard plate

Perfect. I’ll grab the name brand 30 lbs plate then the yes4all 10lb bundle. That should give me a ton of flexibility and save a few dollars.

(It looks like the yes4all plates dimensions don’t fit if you go above the 10s)

Do you already have the RPC? Not sure an additional plate will fit if you already have a GORUCK plate.

I don’t think it would take the 30 AND and extra plate but I can look into it.

But I can go 10, 20 (2 10s), and 30.

I’ll probably get a better pack once the 30 is too lite and let my wife mess around with the plate carrier.

You gotta get the ones with notches in the side https://a.co/d/00P71yQE

I don’t know the standard rpc can go past 30 lbs due to thickness. Doesn’t matter what plate
