If you want to travel the world with one bag, it’s a ruck, and it’s GR2®. The GR2 offers all the pockets and organization, is carry-on compliant, and allows for hands-free travel because roll bags suck. Patterned after Special Forces medical rucks, GR2 is big, tough, and built to travel outside the airport. Special Forces operate in cities, mountains, jungles, and deserts worldwide, facing the most difficult challenges known to man. Since our founding, Green Berets have been judge and jury of GORUCK quality. We proudly overbuild every GR2 to Special Forces life or death quality standards so that we’re confident it will keep up with you and your lifestyle.
One ruck on your back with everything you need to do whatever you want. Backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee, aka the best guarantee on the market.
