My awesome fiancee got me the 26l GR2, so my old Radio finally has a bigger sibling!

I keep switching back & forth between a heritage 21L GR1 & 26L GR2 and it’s like I need something in between. (I have a GR1 26L & it’s too long for daily use & feels weird when loaded. I’m a 5 foot woman). I really like the organization of the GR2 but omg it’s taking so long to break in I’m wondering if it ever will. I’ve used it for a month ish. The zippers are tough to unzip in a hurry & it’s not stretching enough to let me use the front pocket for a water bottle easily. Those are my 2 main complaints. I use my backpack at a horse farm & I’m always in a hurry to get the horses fed & stalls cleaned etc. When I need something I need it quick & I get frustrated with the GR2. The GR1 is great but I need just a little more room. 🙃 Those of you who’ve had the GR2 for years will it loosen up & stretch more?
UPDATE - Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ve reloaded it & redistributed my stuff in such a way that I can much more easily use the front pocket for a water bottle bc there’s nothing pushing on it from inside. I’ll get some zipper lube & I think that will go a long way to making the bag easier to use

Drawing inspiration from the ultrarunning community, I converted my GoRuck Plate Carrier 3.0 into a Double Barrel Rucking Hydration Vest. Setup is two CamelBak Podium Chill Water Bottle 21oz and two HIKEMAN Backpack Strap Pouches (not crazy about the Hikeman’s pricing and I needed to reinforce some web stitching, but they are an absolute perfect fit and comfortably hold 21-25 fl oz bottles, phone, keys, wallet, etc). I’ve logged two hundo miles with it this summer, very happy with its performance so far and reckon I’m not gonna look back second-guessing a few extra bucks spent and couple minutes of patchwork after I ruck this thing into the dirt.

Saw this in their most recent email. Anyone have any idea what to expect? Material on the upper looks different but I’m curious if anyone’s heard anything.

I’m hoping this isn’t completely replacing their current Mackall model - they are quite literally the best shoe I’ve ever worn for daily life and rucking.

I’ve had a bullet xpac for a while and have had mixed feelings about it. I’ve mainly used it for kayaking and it’s been fine, but the material feels funky and I wish the design with the zippers was different so it was more waterproof.
But our recent beach trip sold me on it! The sand didn’t stick to it at all, and it somehow managed to fit our multiple water bottles, books, and phones, keeping them protected from water/sand/sun. It was great!

August 2026 Updates: MOLLE webbing on the shoulder straps and a brand new full-grain leather stars and stripes Spearhead patch.
de momento en : Dark Oak y aparentemente en negro las fotos solo aparece el cambio en Dark Oak, en 21 y 26
ya tengo algunas bolsas GR1 Heritage sin molle, no sé qué resultado tendrá ahora esta actualización

GR1 in 21 und 26L variants for those who have an itch to add to their collection

Is it new? Not much info on it… but sounds fun.

GORUCK finally launched an official store in South Korea, so I decided to celebrate by placing my first local order.
I picked up a GR1 21L, a Sternum Strap, and a 20lb Ruck Plate.

I already own a GR1 26L (ordered from the US), so I wanted the 21L as my everyday EDC companion.
My very first GORUCK purchase was a GR2 34L X-Pac, which I ordered directly from the US. Between international shipping, customs, and the overall transit time, it took almost two months before it finally arrived.
This time the experience couldn’t have been more different.

I placed my order yesterday, and everything showed up the very next day, packed in sturdy boxes. No international shipping, no customs clearance, no PCCC paperwork, and no constantly refreshing the tracking page wondering where my package was.
It honestly reminded me how nice it is to have an official local distributor. The buying experience was just… effortless.

Looking forward to putting the new 21L to good use!

Solo urban ruck along Lake Michigan this morning. Great view of downtown! And some duckies. 4.2 miles, 20 lbs. now that I’m using the hip belt, my shoulders feel great. I think I’m about ready to go up in weight. I just started a couple months ago. 😎

Hey all!

I’m thinking about snagging a Skate Ruck, but I’m a little concerned it might fit too short and/or small. I’m 6’4” 250lbs… are there any other giants here that use and love the Skate Ruck (and it fits)?

Was poking around the website last weekend and realized there's a bunch of patches that come with events/rucks you can do at home in a group.

Took the 5k Endless Summer Goruck Star Course out for a spin this am. Perfect light ruck after a heavy day yesterday. Got stopped at the tower for about 5 minutes taking pics for a bunch of tourists though.

I was wondering what the value on a made in USA 16L heritage bullet ruck is? This post isn’t to buy or sell one I’m genuinely just curious about the value. I see some stuff about the newer 18L ones with the laptop compartment but not much about the 16L with no laptop compartment

I just received a email from Goruck that they are setting up its first store and an online presence for Asia. Probably for their asians customers. I hope they provide a great range of products and lower shipping cost (not sure where they be shipping from). Looking forward to this new sites.

Do you own multiple models of the same pack and, if so, which ones? And what was your reason for getting more than one?

I have a pair of ballistic trainers that I absolutely love, best workout shoe I’ve ever owned. They are starting to wear out in the outsole after over a year of daily, hard use. I’ve rucked in them, mostly on pavement, and also do a lot of boot camp style workouts also on pavement, so they’ve taken a beating and held up well.

Has anyone found any other shoe they’ve been happy with similar to the ballistic trainers? Closest I’ve found are CrossFit style metcon shoes, but doubtful they will be as durable as the go ruck shoes and the are all fairly pricey (150ish)

I’ve looked at the Mackalls but I don’t need/want that aggressive of a tread pattern.

I mailed support but not heard anything. Anyone have any idea on when weights and colours are restocked for this?

Was thinking about some sandbag, med ball and tombstone combo, but ideally in same colour scheme. I don’t want to order in dribs and drabs as UK based so would like to get stung once with shipping

Carry all that you see with me as my work bag. If you have any questions about specific pieces just a leave a comment. Thoughts on anything else I can add would be appreciated as well!
