RUCKS & GEAR
PURPOSE BUILT FOR RUCKING
A TWO MILLION YEAR LEGACY
Rucking has been around for over two million years. Our bodies evolved to efficiently carry weight back to the tribe, high and tight on our backs. Two thousand years ago, Roman Legionnaires used rucking as a test to select their best soldiers, a practice that continues with today’s Special Forces. And the body remains as da Vinci drew it, elegant in its creation and refined to ruck weight over time and distance, on our backs. This is the life we choose.
The Rucker® 5.0 supports for your spine’s natural curvature while you’re out crushing calories, building strength, and saving your joints one step at a time — and it retains the fit and feel that is as timeless and natural as the human body.
The Rucker is the greatest and most comfortable rucksack ever built. Though many imitators exist now, it has no equal. The only thing tougher and more elegant than the Rucker is the person using it, and that means you.
NEW FOR 5.0:
- Lumbar Support: A “damn that’s big” foam pad designed for maximum lumbar and lower back support.
- Magnetic Internal Pockets: Upgraded internal storage with silent, snag-free magnetic closures for quick and secure access that will not get crushed like zippers and function way better than VELCRO.
The Best Weight to Ruck
Ruck Plates® are compact and fit seamlessly in the Rucker® and Ruck Plate Carrier™ for superior stability. Built to the GORUCK standard of quality and craftsmanship, we designed our ruck plates with the same care for detail as everything we make.
Ruck Plates® are sold individually, and may ship separately from the rest of our gear. Ruck Plates can only be shipped in the United States (all 50 states). Orders containing Ruck Plates® cannot be expedited.

There are no pacts between lions and men.
The world sees one fight, one battle, one heroic act. A hero prevails, an enemy falls, and we celebrate for all of eternity. What’s not shown are the thousands of hours that go into one moment. The commitment to excellence, the willingness to put it all on the line.
Remaining true to yourself at all costs.
Achilles is calling. Pick it up, don it over your shoulders, tighten it down. As long as you have breath in your lungs and blood in your heart, keep moving.
We build the tools, you master them — one step, one rep at a time.
Achilles has you covered.
WHY ACHILLES
The world is full of cut-rate, toxic-smelling women’s weight vests marketed to everyone — bad for women, worse for men. The Achilles is built to a completely different standard. We forge this Men’s Weighted Vest from premium materials that are 100% clean, non-toxic, and built to handle a lifetime of sweat and abuse without breaking down. No toxic shortcuts, no chemical burns—just pure, rugged performance.
IMPERISHABLE GLORY: Like every piece of GORUCK gear, the Achilles is backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
Weighted Vest For Women on a Mission
Inspired by the experience of a real CIA field agent and designed for the everyday woman on a mission, the Spy Ruck® is more than a weighted vest. It’s a tool for strength, confidence, and purpose. GORUCK Co-Founder and former CIA officer Emily McCarthy built the Spy Ruck to empower women to train with purpose and move with freedom.
Every detail was engineered for how you move. The contoured profile stays close to your body without restricting breathing. Balanced weight placement means your energy goes into progress, not fighting the gear. The interior fabric flexes where you need comfort and holds strong where you need stability, so nothing distracts you from your next step, rep, or mile.
The result is a vest that seamlessly blends into your routine while making you stronger with every step.
TIME named the Spy Ruck one of the Best Inventions of 2026 in its Sports & Fitness category. Read TIME’s write-up →
Like every piece of GORUCK gear, the Spy Ruck is backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
The World's Most Innovative Weight Vest
Breathe better when rucking or training — with our innovative Curved Ruck Plates (yes there’s a big hole in them, yes it works great), you can talk better to the person next to you, or push even harder in your training without suffocating your diaphragm. Combine breathing better with rucksack straps that disperse the weight expertly, and this is a best in class weight vest.
We believe that the more comfortable something is, the more you’ll want to use it. And given all the gains to be had from carrying weight, we hope you use it hard and have fun in the sun doing it.
Sizing: L is designed to fit most men. The front and back panels are identical across sizes, the difference is in the shoulder straps and cummerbund. As a result, the S may sit higher on bigger people.
THE MOST STREAMLINED WAY TO CARRY THE WEIGHT
The Ruck Plate Carrier (aka RPC) houses a Ruck Plate perfectly and is worn high and tight on your back for natural stability. Your chest stays open so you can breathe better to ruck longer.
The RPC is built for comfort under weight, with a padded top handle, cushioned plate pocket, ergonomic lumbar support, and a non-abrasive back panel and shoulder straps — so comfortable you can wear it against your skin, no friction burn, no problem.
When in doubt, start with 20LBS.
If you have big traps, go with the RPC LONG.
TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH ONE RUCK
If you want to travel the world with one bag, it’s a ruck, and it’s GR2®. The GR2 offers all the pockets and organization, has a bombproof compartment next to your back, and it's carry-on compliant — allowing for hands-free travel because roll bags suck. Patterned after Special Forces medical rucks which lie completely flat, GR2 is big, tough, and built to travel outside the airport in any and every environment imaginable.
GR2 comes with a GORUCK Spearhead patch - customize with the patch of your choice. All GORUCK gear comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee, aka the best guarantee on the planet. Use it really, really hard like we do.
Sizing Guide:
- GR2 26L is an ideal day ruck or small travel ruck. Its height is the same as the 20L Rucker and the 21L GR1 -- the extra liters come from the second main compartment with ALL. THE. POCKETS.
- GR2 34L -- you can travel out of just this ruck and it's not too big to be a day ruck.
- GR2 40L is big and ideally suited for one bag travel. You can fit everything in there.
BASIC RUCKER
Streamlined for speed, designed for comfort while rucking. The perfect rucksack for Ruck or Die, a grueling 12+ mile ruck shuffle, where you only want the essentials, and you want the weight to ride high and tight on your back to reduce sideways movement and remove friction points.
Add a 10, 20, or 30 LB Ruck Plate® to the elevated pocket inside, cinch it down on your back, take the first step, then another. Move with purpose, pump some blood flow through your heart, then some more, and challenge yourself to move a little faster.
Sizing note: 14L is reduced in height by 2”. If you’re 5’10” or under, go with the 14L. The goal is for this rucksack to take up less (not more) real estate on your back. When worn right, it feels like an extension of your back, almost like it's not even there. Till you really get going, that is, and that's the goal.
The Basic Rucker™ and all GORUCK gear comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee because that's how we roll.
THE LIGHTEST "SECOND RUCK" WE’VE EVER BUILT
The Packable Bullet packs down to almost nothing and weighs only 6 oz, so toss it in your travel ruck and deploy it as your day bag when you hit your destination. AquaGuard zippers and tape-sealed seams will keep your clothes dry in a monsoon — use it to carry a few 6-packs from the store, stash your wet trunks, protect your electronics from the rain, or carry whatever gear you pick up along the way — hands free.
Proudly overbuilt and backed by the best guarantee on the market, our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
FROM BAGHDAD TO NYC
GR1® was built to thrive in Baghdad and NYC and has been tested and proven by Green Berets to meet the life or death standards of quality, toughness, and performance. It has proven itself the world over and earned its “Greatest Of All Time” status the hard way: one deployment, one event, one trip, one mile at a time. 1,000 Events/year, 175,000+ participants, and 200+ Special Forces Cadre later, the GORUCK Challenge is the most significant quality control program of its kind. No other bag is consistently put through more abuse, and GR1 thrives.
The GR1 is built with a minimalist approach in mind and includes only the necessary features of an everyday carry rucksack: a bombproof laptop compartment, opens flat for easy packing, and built with Special Forces grade materials.
Proven to Special Forces standards, GR1 is synonymous with the best of American Manufacturing. Each GR1 is built to last and comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
The purpose of a weight vest was never to make it harder to breathe. We cut a hole in our plates to take the weight off your diaphragm and give you some breathing room. This means better breathing during tough workouts and better recovery between sets. Then we added the swimmer’s cut and lowered neckline with movement in mind for the best weight vest for the most dynamic exercises. We finished the plates off with a powder coating to combat rust and stand the test of time.
The plates are compatible with our Rucking Weight Vest ONLY. They’re sold in pairs for total weights (with the vest) of 14, 20, and 30lbs.
Curved Ruck Plates may ship separately from the rest of our gear. Curved Ruck Plates can only be shipped in the United States (all 50 states). Orders containing Curved Ruck Plates cannot be expedited.

Waxed Duck Canvas with Red Wing Leather
August 2026 Updates: MOLLE webbing on the shoulder straps and a brand new full-grain leather stars and stripes Spearhead patch.
GR1, the best rucksack ever built, meets time proven heavy canvas and construction.
Heritage means it’s proven by our grandfathers, and our grandfather’s grandfathers. And that it will last the test of time for those generations who come after us. For materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Heritage a retro canvas rucksack look with the durability you'd expect from a GR1.
WHY SECONDS SALE
On Seconds Sale from $525 to $295.
Woodland Camo M81—this was my first uniform in the Army. I love this pattern. We decided to do a Heritage version of it, but what we have here is a batch of "Seconds."
We don't have very many of them, but here's what happened: when you dye the Heritage fabric, it starts out as greige—which is essentially a raw, white fabric. The fabric is supposed to be dyed all the way through so that both sides match.
With this specific batch, that didn't happen. The interior fabric didn't dye all the way through, meaning it stayed white on the inside. Because of that, this batch classifies as a Seconds. Everything else on the pack is completely awesome—you still get the full-grain leather handles and all the premium features you'd expect from a Heritage pack.
If you look really closely at certain spots where the pack is sewn together, you can see a little bit of that white underside peeking through. Now, there are definitely ways to treat that if it bothers you so that it isn't white. One of the best ways to do that is just sweat, travel, and the natural dirt from all of your adventures.
Since these are Seconds, we're offering the few we have at a nice markdown. If you want a killer M81 pack and don't mind the white interior, grab one while they last.
ANYTHING-PROOF RUCK
Quality is life or death to us, and when we build our gear, we only choose tested and proven Specs + Materials that can withstand any environment. That’s why we’ve taken our original GR1 rucksack and built it with X-PAC® and AquaGuard zippers.
Crafted from a fabric initially designed for high-performance racing sails. X-PAC is lightweight, ultra-durable, and waterproof—key features needed to withstand the intense forces of the open ocean. This is what we take to Costa Rica - the most bio-intense space, according to National Geographic.
This bag is ready for anything—from the rain-soaked trails of Costa Rica to city streets, giving you the confidence to carry your gear in all conditions.
Organize your electronics, use as a dopp kit, for camera gear, or with your rucksack for additional space and organization. The padding keeps contents inside protected and the additional 3 interior pockets keep you organized.
Built in the USA and backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
