A rucking pack that refuses to be only a rucking pack
The Y-CO 3 was designed first for load carriage, and turned out to handle everything else without compromise. For our US launch we are leading with the bag itself: carry it daily, travel with it, and ruck with it when you are ready.
Everyday Carry
Dual access, top load plus a full front zip down panel. Side access padded laptop compartment up to 16 inches, smart internal organisation, and hi-vis orange lining so you actually find your gear in low light.

The exact test LBC put it through. Sole bag, two weeks, travel days to dinners out. YKK Aquaguard zips, a water resistant 1000D shell, and a removable hip belt for the long haul.

Bring your own plate, see FAQYou know the US benchmark. Here is the other option.
American rucking has a default name, and it has earned its reputation. The Y-CO 3 is the premium British-designed alternative. The same serious tool philosophy, a few choices made differently, and a landed price with the customs paperwork already handled.

"Backpacks are tools, not accessories."
That is the principle LBC found in the Y-CO 3 when a national journalist carried it as their only bag for two weeks, across travel, work, day carry and dinners out. It handled every role without feeling compromised, with one note, no external bottle pockets, which a MOLLE attachment solves. Their verdict: excellent. The Coolector went further, calling it the new benchmark for everyday carry and one of the best rucking and EDC packs of the year.
Full specification
Ruck ready out of the box
The internal plate pocket holds your weight flush against your spine, close to your centre of gravity, which is exactly where load should sit for an efficient, comfortable ruck. Rated to 70lb. The included hip belt transfers that weight off your shoulders, the sternum strap keeps it locked through every step.
What people who carry it say
The plate pockets are perfect for my oversized iPad or small laptop, then on a ruck I swap them for plates. The internal bottle holders work for water or charging a phone, and the whole bag opens up to reach the bottom. Classy too, and service was top notch.
Loved this rucksack. Comfortable on the shoulders when weighted and easy to adjust. Hard wearing and robust into the bargain. I would highly recommend it.
The Coolector called the Y-CO 3 "the definitive every-carry rucking machine," naming it the new benchmark for uncompromising everyday carry and rating it among the finest rucking and EDC packs of the year.
Questions, answered
Q1Does the price include US import duties and tax?+
Yes. The Y-CO 3 ships to the United States Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). All import duties and tax are calculated and paid up front, so the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. There is no separate customs bill from the carrier when your bag arrives at your door.
Q2How long does delivery to the US take?+
Typically 4 to 7 business days via tracked courier. Every US order ships tracked, so you can follow it from our workshop to your door.
Q3Do you ship weight plates to the US?+
Not during this initial launch. We are shipping the Y-CO 3 backpack on its own. The internal plate pocket fits standard ruck plates, so you can pair it with a plate you already own. YOMP weight plates are coming to the US shortly after launch.
Q4How is the Y-CO 3 different from the Y-CO 1?+
The Y-CO 1 is the dedicated rucking pack, clean, focused, made for structured load training. The Y-CO 3 keeps that rucking capability and adds everyday carry and travel features: dual access (top load plus a full front zip panel), a side access laptop compartment, a more advanced back system, and the included hip belt. Choose the Y-CO 3 when you need one bag to ruck, carry and travel.
Q5What size laptop fits?+
The dedicated padded, side access compartment takes laptops and tablets up to 16 inches.
Q6How much weight can it carry?+
The internal plate pocket is rated to 70lb, held flush against the back panel. The 10mm EVA back panel, removable hip belt and sternum strap keep heavy loads stable and comfortable through movement.
Q7What colours are available?+
Two: Shadow Black and Coyote. Both are full 1000D Cordura, built identically. The choice is purely the look.
Q8What is your US returns policy?+
We accept US returns within 30 days of delivery on items that are unused and in original, resaleable condition, with all tags and packaging intact. To start a return, email sales@yomp.store with your order number and reason. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility, and we recommend a tracked service, as we cannot process returns we do not receive.
Because US orders ship duty paid, any import duties and taxes already paid to customs are non refundable, so refunds cover the product price only, less original shipping. Items showing signs of use, load testing or wear are not eligible for return. Refunds are issued once the bag is received and inspected. This returns policy is separate from, and does not affect, the lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Q9Who makes YOMP, and what does the name mean?+
YOMP Co is a British company specialising in load training gear, designed in Britain. "Yomping" is British military slang for marching long distances over rough ground under a loaded pack, what the rest of the world calls rucking. We build for that tradition.
