Waxed Canvas Flight Bag

The Aviator’s Kit Bag is used on all Airborne flight operations (jumping out of planes or helos). Special Forces and other units started using the Aviator’s Kit Bags as travel bags, pilot flight bags, and deployment bags because of the large opening at the top, which is plenty big enough to comfortably allow body armor to fit inside.

Our 32L Kit Bags are inspired by classic aviator's kit bags, which are also used by Special Forces teams to transport a small army’s worth of gear (per person). We've modernized the aviator's kit bag and added functionality not for jumping out of airplanes, but for daily use, travel, and storage.

For Specs + Materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Kit Bag a retro canvas look with the durability you'd expect.

OLD SCHOOL VIBES

Our job is to bring back grit, sweat, and soul to modern day living, and to pay our lessons forward to the next generation. This is an over-built 38L gym bag complete with old school vibes and old school values. Use it hard.

WAXED CANVAS MODERN SLING BAG

The original Claymore Bag was developed by the U.S. Army to carry the M18A1 Claymore Mine, the M57 Firing Device, and the M4 Blasting Cap Assembly with a 100 foot cord. These three pieces were placed in the two large pouches at the front of the bag so that individuals could easily carry them until needed.

Using that design with the two large front pockets, we updated the bag to include a slim zipper pocket in the back for notebooks or iPads, two heavy duty buckles, and an adjustable shoulder strap.

For materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving a retro look with the durability you'd expect from GORUCK.

The Origins Story

The Claymore Mine was named by its inventor Norman MacLeod after a large medieval Scottish sword.

As they always do, once the mine was used soldiers found that the empty bags worked great to carry extra rations, additional ammunition and personal items. This new Claymore Sling Bag follows in this tradition and makes an excellent messenger or vacation bag wherever you go. The Claymore Sling Bag is perfect to carry a book, iPad, shemagh, notebook and water bottle.

Special Forces Flight Bag

CLASSIC GYM BAG

Everything you need for your sweat session, all in one place. From belts to water bottles, your extra Performance Tees, and more, this classic Gym Bag is purpose-built to help you organize all your stuff so you can focus on performing at your best. At 38L, throw all of your gear for your gym session in your bag and get moving.

Designed by and for Tier 1 and Precision Rifle Shooters with very specific requirements in a very limited run. This mat is designed to thrive in the dirt, gravel, mud, and concrete of a long day at the range or in the field. It provides just enough protection without sacrificing the "connected" feel required for a stable shooting position. Cadre have also been known to use it as a sleeping mat.

DETAILS

1. The Foundation: Rugged, 1000D MULTICAM CORDURA

The top layer and the underbelly are constructed fully from 1000D MultiCam CORDURA for bombproof durability. If you are shooting on wet ground or snow, the ballistic nylon will prevent ground moisture and cold from seeping up into your clothes and dropping your core temp. 1000D also acts as a non-slip surface when you press your weight forward.

2. The Cushion: 10mm High-Density, Closed-Cell Foam + 1.5 mm HDPE (frame sheet style protection)

We exclusively use closed-cell foam. Open-cell foam acts like a sponge and we hate that. If a mat is too soft, your elbows will sink unevenly, and your pulse will bounce the rifle. That’s bad. Our mat hits the the sweet spot with 10mm of closed cell foam sandwiching 1.5mm of lightweight HDPE Backing - enough to protect your elbow and ribs from sharp rocks without sacrificing the rigid stability required for precision shots.

3. The Bipod Catch

To shoot a precision rifle effectively, you need to "load" the bipod by pressing your shoulder forward into the rifle. On smooth or hard ground, bipod feet will slide away from you. The front of our mat features a sewn-in bipod catch— a reinforced strap of heavy duty nylon webbing that gives your bipod feet a solid wall to dig into.

4. Deployment: The Accordion Panel-Fold Technique

We prioritized durability and performance over building the lightest weight mat possible. Use the accordion technique (as opposed to “rolling”) to re-secure your mat and then buckle it securely closed. The benefit when you deploy it is that it lays perfectly flat instantly with no curling edges blowing in the wind. For transport, it fits comfortably in a GR1 26L.

5. Environmental Controls: Grommets

Grommets/Stake Loops: In 20 mph winds, a lightweight mat will wrap around you like a taco. That’s bad. Our mat features reinforced stake loops at the corners so you can pin the mat to the dirt as needed.

6. Additional Cadre Usage

Cadre and others have been known to use it as a sleeping pad (called by its other name!) during extended GORUCK Event Ops. The closed cell foam is a very supportive layer on concrete floors as you grab some shut eye till your next shift. Bonus points if you also have your woobie on hand.

Note: we designed this Shooting Mat with specific Tier 1 requirements in mind and built it in MultiCam per request (despite over $100 in licensing fees per item). This is a one-time build for us, serving those who serve with a limited offering available here, at break even pricing. It's one of those pieces of gear we built because we tell people we can build anything they want, and sometimes they cash in that favor. We work for you, but when it’s gone, it’s gone.

LET YOUR WET GEAR AND DIRTY SHOES BREATHE

Unlike traditional bags that trap moisture and funk in, this breathable mesh duffel is made for the beach or the pool or for housing wet clothes and dirty shoes after a long ruck. The open design lets wet towels, swimsuits, shoes and gear breathe (which cuts down on funk!) while sand and dirt shake out, and an interior closed pocket keeps your wallet and sunglasses clean, dry, and protected. Any day spent on land or in a boat where you use this bag to its max is a good day.

We only build what we want to carry. Some of the pics here (the black one) are from our family trip to Nicaragua, where our daughter got a lesson or two in GORUCK product photography standards aka use it hard, have fun, and share those pictures. — jason

The GRenade may be smaller than our other rucks, but it’s still every bit as tough. Use it as a Field Pocket, Shadow Pocket, cross-body bag, or as a complement to your GR1.

Quality tested and approved by Monster himself.
