The Original GR1®

Our flagship piece of gear since day 1, brought back with some of its original features. Vintage, not dated, the GR1 USA Throwback is still just as capable as its successor bags. Before the Rucker, GRTs used to clip their hydration bladder to the internal MOLLE and feed the hose through the top port. This version also features a 1680 Ballistic Nylon bottom panel and 1000D CORDURA® back. The GR1 USA Throwback is a tribute to our origins and a celebration of everything that it started.

Features

Opens Flat making it easier to pack and organize
Extra Padded Shoulder straps and top handle to carry heavier loads more comfortably
YKK zippers with silent, glove friendly zipper pulls constructed from parachute 550 cord.
Bombproof Laptop Compartment next to your back is extra reinforced and has a false bottom so that when you set your ruck down, your laptop won't even notice
A removable, hard plastic frame sheet stabilizes the laptop compartment and allows you to carry more weight comfortably.
1000D CORDURA® on the back panel, just like the original.
1680 Ballistic Nylon-reinforced bottom panel to handle the extra wear-and-tear. Ballistic Nylon is thicker and even stronger than CORDURA.
Multiple Pockets: 3 internal pockets: 1 elastic/cordura sleeve, 1 large mesh zippered pocket, and 1 small go-to pocket.
External Slant Pocket: 1 external slant pocket for quick access to keys, snacks, and other small items.
MOLLE Attachments: 3 rows of external and internal MOLLE webbing let you customize GR1® how you want.
Rainproof: Our rucks are highly water resistant aka rainproof.
Optimized for Hydration: Clip your hydration bladder to the internal MOLLE with a carabiner and feed the hose through the exit port under the top handle of the ruck.
Perfect Travel Size: TSA Compliant and fits under the seat in front of you.
