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.
On back panels: 210D Cordura is smoother and won't damage your clothes or irritate your skin, while 1000D is famously tough. 500D is the sweet spot in between.
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.

TSA CARRY ON COMPLIANT
GR2 is a suitcase on your back. Pack everything you need and it still fits in the overhead compartment.
Zero Abrasion on Fabric & Skin
It has taken us years to find a way to make one of the best rucksacks of all time even better. We added all-new 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps that doesn't irritate skin or chew up apparel (looking at you, merino wool).
Opens Flat
Makes it easier to to pack, organize, and find something when on the go. Special Forces medical rucks share a similar design.
BOMBPROOF LAPTOP COMPARTMENT
The separate compartment next to your back is extra reinforced to securely take a laptop into combat. Complete with a false bottom so your laptop won't even notice when you set your ruck down.
EXTRA PADDED STRAPS AND TOP HANDLE
Shoulder straps and top handle are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably.
EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE
2 large compartments for more organization. The inner compartment has 3 pockets and the outer compartment has 3 pockets and a built-in field pocket.
OUTER COMPARTMENT
The outer compartment has 4 internal pockets: 2 large mesh zippered pockets, 1 small go-to zippered pocket and 1 built-instead field pocket.
INNER COMPARTMENT
The inner compartment has 3 internal pockets: 1 large elastic pocket, one large mesh zippered pocket, and one small go-to zippered pocket.
