GR Series Update Explained

GR1 — built to thrive in Baghdad and NYC — has proven itself the world over including at thousands of GORUCK Events as the greatest rucksack ever built. That’s why any change, any modification of any kind is a huge deal to us, requiring extensive testing and a strong why. In this case, four years of testing a new fabric (210D CORDURA® ) for the back panel.

We have used this fabric on the Rucker’s back panel since 2020, we see no failure through our Scars Lifetime Guarantee Department — but we see a lot of upside. It’s more versatile to wear with travel shirts like Merino Wool or tank-tops. Hell, you can even wear it shirtless if that’s your thing. After all of this data and usage of 210D on the back panel and under the straps, we have now updated GR1 — our flagship rucksack, Built in the USA — and this is our first significant update to GR1. You’re going to like it better because it’s even more versatile now, no matter how you plan to use it. And we hope you use it hard, and all over the world.

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.
