THE MESH RUCK

Built for the wet, the sandy, and the sweaty. The Mesh Ruck is a fast-draining, quick-drying backpack that thrives where traditional packs stay soaked and soggy. Think beach days, boat docks, and pool decks.

The coated mesh body gives you maximum airflow and instant drainage, so water, sand, and debris don’t get trapped inside. A separate quick access pocket keeps your phone and keys safe from sand. The back and bottom panel are made of high quality yet comfortable ripstop ROBIC for even the longest beach days. Anti-Rust Vislon zippers provide easy access no matter how many soggy towels you pack in.

Features & Specs
  • Coated mesh main body for maximum drainage, airflow, and fast drying
  • Ripstop ROBIC back panel, bottom panel, and shoulder straps for durability where it counts
  • Anti-Rust Vislon zippers built for wet, salty, and high-sweat environments
  • Quick access pocket at the top for small essentials
  • Side compression straps to cinch down load and stabilize gear
  • 20L
  • Dimensions: 12” x 18.5” x 5”
  • Primary Material: Coated Mesh, Poly + Non-Phthalate PVC, 360G
  • Back Panel and Shoulder Straps: Ripstop ROBIC
  • Anti-Rust Vislon Zippers

Perfect Weekend Travel and Laundry Bag

"Love this! For a quick beach weekend, we pack our clothes in a GoRuck large shoe bag which fits great in the mesh backpack then throw in a toiletry bag. Dirty clothes go in the mesh bag to air out or dry. It's a perfect one container system. A bigger mesh backpack would be even better."

almost perfect

"great backpack, very satisfied with the purchase but could use a few improvements, here and there. The pocket is surprisingly deep enough and can fit most of my small stuff, but it would be great if there was one more pocket to provide a bit of organization for the not-so-small items. The inner lining panel could have been molle/velcro to attach pouches to make up for the missing extra pocket. The straps can also be annoying sometimes, i would appreciate the option to take them off when not in use. Otherwise, great backpack for the gym/swimming sessions."

too much strap…

"i like the mesh-ruck for sports-clothes, but what i really do not appreciate is those four side-straps. the slack is just too much… what does one need all this excess for?! mystery…"

Meets Standard

"Had it for several months now. I use mine as a gym bag; does its job well. Still breaking it in. No issues forseen. I did a quick overview here… ***rumble.***/v75vzju-goruck-20l-mesh-ruck.html"

Love this mesh ruck!

"I couldn't pass on the sale even though mesh isn't really my thing. . . or should I say it wasn't my thing until now! What a well made backpack, light but tough, great zippers, perfect amount of organization (none) since I'm a pouch guy. Nobody can see what I'm carrying because of the pouches, too. I'm using it daily and really enjoying it. Tons of compliments on the bag and on the patches. Pizza Ruck gets the most smiles, too. :)"

Long range is amazing

"I am 183cm 6foot and find it great match not only for rucking but as a general bag for everything ( replaced my 40l duffle )"

Favorite Bag for the Office

"The Mesh Ruck is sneakingly becoming my favorite GORUCK bag. This is just perfect for quick trips around town. I always get compliments on it and I love the simplicity."

Jake

"Obviously I don't use this with rucking weight, but it's fantastic swapping it between uses as a gym gear bag, pool gear bag and as grandpa's EDC bag when running around with the young grandkids."

— John J. (5/5)

BEST BEACH BAG around

"Great beach bag! The mesh material lets sand out and air in to dry wet towels/shorts. Zippers are hefty, they work when filled with sand or general debris and are easily cleaned with squeeze water bottle or garden hose. Filling this with loose sand for your next ruck is cheating!"

— Scott S. (5/5)

"Tough stuff as always! Excellent I believe for my summer romp I have planned for this year."
