Travel Rucksacks

ANYTHING-PROOF RUCK

The GR2 was designed as the bag you could travel the world with. Now, with waterproof X-PAC and AquaGuard zippers, GR2 is ready for the worst-case scenario where the elements are concerned.

Crafted from a fabric initially designed for high-performance racing sails. X-PAC 33 in Multicam 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.

BULLET RUCK - SKATE RUCK EDITION

Badass and overbuilt with locking front buckles you can run over in a Humvee and they'll be fine — we partnered once again with long time friend Mike Vallely, the grittiest skateboarder in history and GORUCK Tough Alum from 2011 — to create the Skate Ruck, which thrives in any and every condition imaginable.

The badass lock down straps giving this a signature look can hold a skateboard, but also a snowboard, towel, yoga mat, or whatever else you want to lash on and bring along. Make it yours and use it your way.

We started the design with our proven Double Bullet Ruck, our simplest and most streamlined ruck to use during travel. It offers all the pockets and organization you need to travel light and hands-free, including a bombproof laptop compartment to keep your tech protected.

Proudly overbuilt AF and backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

All Skate Rucks come with a leather embossed "V" patch — for Vallely, and Victory.

ANYTHING-PROOF RUCK

GR0 "The Zero" is one of our original three rucks (previously known as the GR Echo). It retains the functionality of the GR1, including the bombproof laptop compartment, built for smaller frames.

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. Tested in Central American rainforests and the deserts of New Mexico, this rucksack protects your gear from water, sand, dust, and whatever else gets in your way, and comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

13 Years in Development. Monster's Final Approval.

This past Friday, we were finally ready to sign off on a rucksack that we’ve been working on for 13 years, aka Monster’s whole life. He was sitting under the table on his bed at Scars, never far from the action (or Christian’s treat bags). We approved the final sample, celebrated a quiet win, and moved onto the next task. That’s when Angel came around the corner and said Monster had fallen on his way outside and couldn’t get back up. No matter how ready you are, it always comes too soon. Monster passed the next day at home, surrounded by our family and all the love in our hearts.

Monster loved serving as your President of GORUCK Nation and he loved you all with his whole heart. Thank you for loving him back with yours.

Next steps are never easy and the grief comes in waves — but there are no coincidences in the universe. The rucksack we approved together on the last full day of his life is now and forever called GR MONSTER. Emily and I both used it for a week on the John Muir Trail in California, and when we were going to see Oasis in Scotland last summer, I used it there, too, all around Edinburgh. It slimmed down enough that they even let me wear it in the Scottish National Gallery of Art - surrounded by other works of beauty.

It’s a dayruck, a hiking pack, you can strip it down to the essentials or add enough accessories to live out of it basically forever. It’s tough and beautiful, like Monster.

This will be the first run, marked with a special internal label, and it’s a pre-order. The patch it comes with is exclusive to the GR MONSTER, and at a deeply personal level, I’m always looking for more meaning out of the things in my life, or else they’re just things. The GR MONSTER is full of the spirit of the dog who served us all faithfully, with loyalty and above all love. We honor him with this ruck and the adventures we’ll take it on, for all the days of our lives. Monster Forever.

NOTE: PRE-ORDER IS COMPLETE. SHIPPING Q1 2027. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT! M26: BUILT FROM YOUR FEEDBACK

The WWII-era M1945 field pack inspired our M Series (M22-24). For the M26, we took the crowd favorite M23—the top load, exterior pockets, front buckles, and bombproof laptop compartment—and shared some initial ideas for modifications with our favorite group of gear dorks (said with love!) on the GORUCK Subreddit. Hundreds of comments, suggestions and DM’s later, based on YOUR feedback which we never could have done ourselves, we finalized the design. This is the first time we’ve ever done anything like this, and we loved the process and are GRATEFUL for the input. Here’s where we landed for M26:

• Lid QAP: Brand new Quick Access Pocket in the lid with a rain flap and an internal mesh organizing pocket. The volume for this is in the lid itself, not the main cavity. This means when you’re on the move you can access it … QUICK!
• Side Zip Volume Pockets: Two side zip pockets, one with stretch woven elastic (ideal for a water bottle) and one with 420D ROBIC Ripstop Nylon. The volume on these is internal to the ruck, so they do not stick out - this is an elegant solution to carrying a water bottle and more. Stretch organization pockets will remain on one of the pockets, as it was in the M23 (by serious request, too!)
• Main Compartment: The zipper into the main cavity is extended for better access without opening up the drawstring closure (the zipper is even longer than shown in the rendering).
• Zippers: No AquaGuard. We’ll use the burliest, best YKK zippers money can buy — across the board. Rain flaps will cover them (not pictured).
• Materials: Two variations. 500D CORDURA (featuring a black metal patch) and Heritage Waxed Canvas (featuring an embossed full grain leather patch and top carrying handle). Back panels of both are built with the same fabric, and shoulder straps have MOLLE webbing for a classic GORUCK look. Note: the shroud under the lid will be color matched on the CORDURA versions. Coyote on the Waxed Canvas.
• Bombproof Laptop Compartment: A 16” Macbook will fit in both versions, the 21L and the 26L.
• Surprise Commemorative Patch: Details not forthcoming at this time (also because we haven’t designed it yet. It will be badass and one of a kind as a THANK YOU to all who have contributed to this process).

PREORDER DETAILS

We’ve loved this process of taking your feedback and hope you’ll support us. We are NOT planning on ordering a lot, meaning -- however many preorders we get, we’ll build that many plus a little safety stock that will launch at full price. Then, come 2027, M26 will be in the archives forever while you enjoy yours by using it hard all over the world.

• Shipping Timeline, to you: TARGETING Q4 2026. The world is a crazy place right now, though — it could be Q1 2027. We aim to under promise and over deliver.

THANK YOU for the support.
