Field W8T Training

Don’t Let the Real Pack-Out Be Your First Rep.

Build the Strength. Practice the Process.

Traditional weighted-pack training builds strength and conditioning. Field W8T adds the missing practice—strapping a quarter-shaped load to your pack, getting the loaded pack onto your back, and hiking it out.
