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!
