Our original piece of gear, designed and proven by Special Forces soldiers operating in Baghdad, and versatile enough for New York City. Each GR1® is built to last a lifetime and comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.
Easy to pack and organize. Special Forces medical rucks share a similar design.
Shoulder straps and top handle are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably.
YKK zippers with silent, glove friendly zipper pulls constructed from parachute 550 cord.
The separate compartment next to your back is extra reinforced to securely take a laptop into combat.
A removable, hard plastic frame sheet stabilizes the laptop compartment and allows you to carry more weight comfortably.
We built a false bottom in the laptop compartment so that when you set your ruck down, your laptop won't even notice.
3 internal pockets: 1 large elastic pocket, 1 large mesh zippered pocket, and 1 small go-to pocket.
1 external slant pocket for quick access to keys snacks, and other small items.
3 rows of external and internal MOLLE webbing let you customize GR1 how you want.
Our rucks are highly water resistant aka rainproof.
Clip your hydration bladder into the interior MOLLE webbing with a carabiner and feed the hose through the exit port under the top handle of the ruck.
TSA Compliant and fits under the seat in front of you.
The Special Forces curse clearly states, the more space you have, the more stuff you’ll pack. But, sometimes you need more stuff, and fit matters. The 21L GR1® is 18" tall and the 26L GR1® is 20" tall. The classic 21L GR1® fits all shapes and sizes. If you’re ~6’+ and/or want 5 additional liters and 2” of additional height, go with the Larger 26L. When moving through airports, commuting, or rucking, the goal is for your ruck to be high on your back. No matter how tall you are, the 21L will rest 2” higher than the 26L.
If you're the kind of person who prides yourself in minimalist packing, go with the 21L. If you like more space and always carry more stuff, go with the 26L.
The toughest everyday carry ever built, GR1® thrives in cities, warzones, and traveling the world while rucking.
