Is GORUCK GR1 worth the money?
Is GORUCK GR1 worth the money?
Yes, it’s worth it. Yes, it’s very expensive (though somewhat competitive with other “tactical” bags), but it’s a hell of a piece of gear. The material is super-durable.
Is the GR1 good for rucking?
The GORUCK GR1 is GORUCK’s original backpack designed to be tough enough for military-grade abuse and built for “rucking,” or hiking with heavy loads for fitness. At 26 liters, this built tough bag is perfectly sized for use in daily life or on day hikes. The GR1’s kicker is its bombproof laptop pocket.
What size GORUCK should I get?
The 21L is the better variant for most people. Unless you are tall (say over 6′-2”), you should get the 21L and not worry about it. If you are over 6′-2” and know nothing about optimal bag sizes, get the 26L, you’ll be happy. You only need one, it’ll last a lifetime.
What is the difference between GR1 and GR2?
GR1 is a dayruck, GR2 is a weekend ruck. GR2 is significantly bigger (40 liters vs. GR1’s 26 liters of capacity) and lends itself to slightly different usage, which for me means longer excursions or trips.
Is GORUCK comfortable?
The backpanel itself is well padded, like the straps, and made from the same 1000D material as the rest of the bag. It’s slightly molded to allow some breathability, but in reality if you often get a sweaty back this won’t really help. Otherwise, it’s comfortable.
How do you break in GoRuck GR1?
Rinse it clean, and hang it to dry (if it’s warm/sunny/nice outside that’s the best option, otherwise indoors can take a few days). This breaks the fabric in quite nicely, however doesn’t do anything to help break the bag in to your body.

The main body of the GR1 is highly water-resistant by military standards, and it can handle a significant amount of rain before you need to worry about your gear.

Limited edition GR1’s will continue to be made in the USA, while black GR1’s and a few other colorways will be made in Saigon. The Limited Edition GR1 USA-made options will cost more, but will no longer cost $395. Many Limited Edition pieces will come through the GORUCK Workshop.
What’s the difference between GoRuck Gr 1 and 26L?
GORUCK makes two sizes of their GR 1: 21L and 26L. One thing that has always bugged me is that they don’t differentiate between the two through the use of tags on the pack. If you’re new to GORUCK gear then this can make things very confusing. How do you know if that seller on eBay is selling a 21L or 26L GR1 when there’s no label?
What kind of laptop does The GORUCK GR1 hold?
The GR1 also has a zippered sleeve between the main compartment and the back padding. GoRuck calls this the “bombproof laptop compartment.” The 26L holds a 17″ Macbook Pro, and the 21L holds a 15″ Macbook Pro nicely. Alternatively, I sometimes put my 30 lb ruck plate or a water bladder in the sleeve.
