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.

"Feels good. Solid. Zippers a bit too tight still on straight runs, but very slowly loosening with use. Unfortunately zippers also jam easily at corners due to zipper flap tightness. Hoping this improves w/use as well. Pouch zippers in smaller compartment tend to obstruct compartment zippers. Design has room to improve there. Greatly enjoy the capacity. This thing is cavernous compared to my previous EDC. Haven't abused it yet. We'll see."
"super high quality and durability; great for flight needed with only personal Item, otherwise they were going to charge me for a Carryon. 26L GR2 gave me the confidence to travel with style, durability, comfort and organization. For flights that allow a carryon, the 40L is a great fit for me too--I love them both."
"I was hesitant about this backpack. It is not cheap but I wanted quality and something that would stand up to repeated use. I could not recommend this more - I use it as a daily ruk, while not fully the intended use it works great. It has been beat up, sweat through countless times, left outside, seen the fun more than it should and has not shown any wear or tear at all. On top of this, after washing it, I use this for my travel bag. It offers numerous pockets for organizing. If you are on the fence about this pack, buy it. You will love it. It will stand r test of time that others promise but this ac to ally delivers."
"I'd been wanting a GR2 ever since I first got my GR1 and found that I needed more space/organization. I moved all my stuff over and started using it as my EDC bag almost immediately after I got it. Since then it's held up extremely well, and I suspect that this is going to last me for the rest of my life."
"Extremely comfortable. The heaviness of the bag is as advertised. The organization and quality leave nothing to be desired. Only gripe is the cost. Feels like there’s a surcharge for the brand and aesthetic. Other bags perform just as well at a lower weight. But the aesthetic gives me pleasure so I paid up. Only way I could be happier is if I paid $50 less."
"I own both the GR2 26L and the GR2 40L, and they complement each other perfectly. The 26L is my everyday carry for work, daily use, and shorter trips. I recently bought the 40L for longer one-bag adventures, and after my first test pack, I'm already extremely happy with it. The build quality is outstanding, the design is simple and functional, and these packs truly feel built for a lifetime. Highly recommended! 5/5 stars."
"Awesome bag, love how it maintains it’s shape wether its full or empty. Would have been cool if the inside of the large main compartment was blood orange with blacl molle. Other than that it’s perfect"
"I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I've been wanting a GoRuck sack for well over 10 years now, but I had a great northface backpack, and the price of the GoRucks were so expensive, I had a hard time justifying the purchase. Well, after 26 years, my northface finally bit the dust and I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the GR2. My initial impression is that it's heavy and stiff. I understand that it will break-in over time. I'm longing for a lightweight bag, but I think lightweight does not equal longevity. I used my northface for 26 years, so I think it's just an adjustment period for me. I'm hoping I'll end up loving the GR2 as much as I initially thought I would."
"This is my second GR2. My first is the 34L, and I liked the admin section organization so much that, after a thorough search of other contenders in the market, I picked up the 26L to use as a personal item and day bag. I’m using it right now on a trip to Ireland and Scotland, and it’s working perfectly. Once you empty the admin section at your destination and move your day bag items into the main compartment, the pack takes on the shape of the GR2 21L, so it never feels too big to carry around for the day. And of course, the world class comfort of the suspension system and the over engineered durability mean the bag basically disappears from your travel experience. There’s no discomfort pulling your attention, and no worry about the bag holding up. That quality lets you focus on the trip itself, with zero concern that your gear will let you down. That’s the essence of what GoRuck brings to travel. Models that I considered but decided against: Packolab City Carrier 2 ( I had an opportunity to get one), Mission Workshop Rhake, Hill People Gear Conner2, ULA Cicada and Azo Equipment Rabel. All of these models were appealing to me but fell short compared to the GR2."
"As with all my Goruck gear, it’s flawless. Organization is great and build is best out there."
