GORUCK started as a simple idea

Build a rucksack with life or death quality standards that would thrive from Baghdad to NYC, and everywhere in between. Our original ruck, the GR1, was built to those specifications, and we are committed to maintaining that same level of excellence with everything we do.

WE BUILD THE WORLD’S TOUGHEST GEAR AND WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW IT.

If you are a content creator and  passionate about GORUCK gear, we want to help you earn money for sharing your expertise with the world. As a part of the GORUCK affiliate program, you have the opportunity to use your chosen platform to earn commissions on referred sales, made through affiliate links on your site.

How it works

  1. A visitor clicks on your affiliate link and is taken to our website.
  2. At the time they click your link, the visitor's IP address is logged, and a cookie is placed in their browser for tracking purposes.
  3. The visitor browses our site and decides to make a purchase.
  4. If the visitor completes their order (the order does not need not be placed during the same browser session—cookies and IPs are stored for 30 days), that order will be registered as a sale for you and eligible for commission.
  5. We review and approve the sale to make sure it qualifies.
  6. You receive 8% commission payouts each month (if your monthly commissions total $100 or more. Commission totals under $100 will carry over from month to month until the $100 payout minimum is met).
