WHY SECONDS

Woodland Camo M81—this was my first uniform in the Army. I love this pattern. We decided to do a Heritage version of it, but what we have here is a batch of "Seconds."

We don't have very many of them, but here's what happened: when you dye the Heritage fabric, it starts out as greige—which is essentially a raw, white fabric. The fabric is supposed to be dyed all the way through so that both sides match.

With this specific batch, that didn't happen. The interior fabric didn't dye all the way through, meaning it stayed white on the inside. Because of that, this batch classifies as a Seconds. Everything else on the pack is completely awesome—you still get the full-grain leather handles and all the premium features you'd expect from a Heritage pack.

If you look really closely at certain spots where the pack is sewn together, you can see a little bit of that white underside peeking through. Now, there are definitely ways to treat that if it bothers you so that it isn't white. One of the best ways to do that is just sweat, travel, and the natural dirt from all of your adventures.

Since these are Seconds, we're offering the few we have at a nice markdown. If you want a killer M81 pack and don't mind the white interior, grab one while they last.

Reviews

Amazing quality, the canvas is a lot heavier than I thought

"Bag is great. Lives up to the hype. Feels very sturdy and is a lot heavier than I thought! Don't worry, the canvas is not too thin! Size is good, if you are tossing up, just get the 26L, it's not too big. Bag is less comfy on the back when it's empty due to the solid build and frame sheet, but it's built to be loaded up."

— Alex C. (5/5)

Easy day, all day.

"I’ve had mine for a long time. First release, 26L. It has never let me down. Hundreds of miles on my back, thousands of miles by my side. Breaks in perfectly. Builds a patina like no other. There are many out there. This one is mine. You won’t miss the money. Get off the fence! ***rumble.***/v7bj7iw-gr1-heritage-usa-26l-longterm-review.html"

Like every GoRuck product, this

"Like every GoRuck product, this pack is indestructible. Its design genius is its simplicity - 1 major pocket with easy to access smaller pockets that don’t add bulk. But the difference with this pack is its look. The rugged waxed canvas with leather looks amazing. It’s an investment, but it’s a pack that will last a lifetime and look awesome on all adventures"

— Greg L. (5/5)

Perfect

"After trying different versions and iterations of GORUCK bags… this is everything I could have wanted"

— Lucas O. (5/5)

The Best Daily Work Ruck You Could Own

"This is my second GR1 USA - Heritage Waxed Canvas…please don’t tell my wife! I absolutely love it. Professional styling, all the right storage locations for organizing your stuff, built to last, stunning craftsmanship and GORUCK comfort. Stop dreaming about getting one, just buy it! You will never regret owning the Heritage GR1."

— Brent V. (5/5)

Great quality and glad that

"Great quality and glad that I finally decided to buy it, This bag will last a few generations. Thank you very much. Well done"

— Brian B. (5/5)

Cool stuff ain't cheap & cheap stuff ain't cool!

"This Heritage pack was purchased solely because of the materials. GORUCK has already established quality and durability standards that set the standard for these types of packs. My two other packs have never let me down and are constantly used for heavy loads, a GR2 for work with 30+ pounds of gear every day and a dedicated rucker that seems to handle 45 - 75 lbs far easier that I do. This canvas pack is not intended to serve as a ruck but is handling the weekend duty in style with all of the build quality that one expects from GORUCK. Cool stuff ain't cheap & cheap stuff ain't cool!"

— Lance P. (5/5)
