Yomp Safely with FIDLOCK – Smart fasteners for tough missions
During the coronavirus lockdown, all gyms were closed for a period of time. Many people wondered how they could stay fit despite the circumstances. It was precisely this situation that gave rise to the idea of founding YOMP.
Yomping, originally derived from the British military, is a simple, effective, and accessible exercise that can be enjoyed by everyone: simply take a backpack, add some weight, and start moving. This form of training—also commonly known as rucking—requires no gym equipment, no membership, and no special preparation. It can be easily integrated into everyday life, whether on a walk, a hike, or a mission to stay active outdoors.
YOMP Co have created a brand that, above all else, prioritises functionality and durability. When a backpack becomes a serious training tool and must reliably carry heavy weight, every detail matters. A key component of the YOMP backpack is the two V-BUCKLEs on the strap. These fasteners don’t just look good—they’re engineered for strength and ease of use under load. They open quickly and cleanly, sparing users the struggle of pulling a weighted bag over their shoulder awkwardly. This makes them an ideal feature for rucking workouts.
