The Bag That Started GORUCK | Breaking Down The GR1 With Jason McCarthy | Huckberry Gear Lab

Shop GORUCK on Huckberry: bit.ly/3vbZvey
The GR1 was the bag started it all for GORUCK. They set out to build a rucksack with life or death quality standards that would thrive in Baghdad and NYC, and show people of all walks of life how to operate smartly and safely in some of the harshest environments. It quickly won the hearts and minds of Special Forces soldiers, rucking enthusiasts, and EDC gear heads alike with its infamously bombproof, made-in-USA construction.

[@themaverick2087]

I’ve used my GR1 every single day for the past 9 years. It’s been all over the world, in the ocean, on the beach, through multiple GORUCK events, and I still love to use it every single time. It functions as well as the day I got it. It’s got a bit more “character” now, but otherwise it’s the best bag I’ve ever owned.

[@themaverick2087]

I’ve had my GR1 for about 9 years. GORUCK events, EDC, work bag, international and domestic travel.. It’s done it all, very well. I’ve acquired several GORUCK products since then, including other backpacks. They’re all great, but there’s something about that first one…

[@bt9765]

My favorite thing about my GR1 is those shoulder straps.

[@Phat-rj3jo]

Same, I have many and tried many packs, Goruck’s shoulder strap suits me the best, I can never get on with MR’s straps even though many loves it.

[@thatchanguy]

My GR2 34L is still going strong, as well as my GR1 26L, and so many others. Solid bags. Simple, and just workhorses. Love the 210D backing and Quick Access Pockets on the newer gens.

[@NaturallyNerdy]

I have the “ladies” GR1 (the shoulder straps are narrow and curved) I love that bag…it’s my favorite daily carry.

[@L0NGRNGE]

GR1 really is the gold standard of pack design and material.

[@user-gu1sl1mn2m]

I really love goruck! I have a gr1 26l slick from you guys and I love it! I had the 21l but wanted to have more space and the 26l is perfect for everything to edc and travel! All I wish they changed for the gr1 is a better breathable back,, the front pocket so that you can access it when it’s packed out and of course a QAP!! STILL I really do love the bag and I’m really happy knowing the bags gonna last

[@divisionbreak]

GR1. GORUCK ALL THE WAY. USA

[@JBOutside1]

Boom!! 👊🏻

[@ChrisHall803]

I love my GR1, finally. I have the accessories I need for my everyday use (mostly a work bag). I wish the bag had an optional keyring lanyard. I would have paid the upcharge.

[@jgg8655]

considering "Goruck would not exist without the GR1" it would be nice if they focused on actually stocking their core products (and in the original colorways) and focused less on the other rubbish!

[@Quadrille763]

It’s a awesome pack

[@oldmanscud]

Love this brand. When are we going to see a return of heritage dark oak and slate? You have to know they are the highly sought after colorways!

[@j.taveras8447]

I am waiting for that dark oak heritage.

[@Huckberryco]

Looks like we don't have any updates from our end for those color options, sadly. We'll put in a good word for ya to see if we can bring them back

[@mehmetkupeli8611]

My Gr1 21 liter is my only Desert companion In the Oregon Outback In addition to Hill Peoples Chest rig. The rattlesnakes are afraid of us.

[@travisruskin7133]

I would prefer it opened from the back. Keeps the shoulder straps cleaner from mud, debris, etc. Would still function as you showcased. Nice product overall still 🙂

[@senpairag88]

Any plans bringing back the Huckberry GR1 ?

[@Huckberryco]

We have a few options coming back to the site soon and some other options later this spring. If you aren't already, I'd recommend signing up for our newsletter to stay in the loop: bit.ly/47qSFPz

[@iggycygnus7430]

Are you going to make X-PAC a permanent material in your product line like Coudura and Dyneema?

[@MWDAdventures]

I am 5'8 and have the bullet love it but the straps are to short. Is there a way to get longer straps? I would consider getting the GR1 26L so you can have longer straps.

[@Huckberryco]

Our friends at GORUCK have a great customization and repair program called GORUCK SCARS. Submit a request and I'm sure they are more than able to handle your ask! scars-custom.paperform.co/

[@doorbox788]

I adore these bags, but i hate the new 210D back paneling!

[@drolle3]

Good stuff! "GORUCK yourself..!" :D

[@AlMikeChris]

Which GR1 has the top hidden pocket below the handle? Is it just the 26L or does the 21L have it as well?

[@NaturallyNerdy]

The heritage

[@sepniner4848]

just bought a goruck n its very very dissappointed that one of its shoulder strap friction adaptor was sewn in reverse,, so much for QC for such an expensive bag.

[@Huckberryco]

Hey there, sorry to hear about the issue with the strap on your GORUCK. Give our support line a shout and we'd be happy to help. [e-mail]

[@francisshannon9045]

Can this handle 45 lb plates? I don’t see a weight rating

[@Huckberryco]

Good question! The GR1 does not have the ruck plate pocket like the Rucker, but it does have an elastic sleeve capable of holding their ruck plates. It can definitely handle a 45 lb plate

[@SageWohns]

What t shirt are you wearing here?

[@Huckberryco]

Good question! He's wearing one of GoRuck's 24.7 Merino Wool Tees, you can check them out at goruck.com

[@marklittler74]

Good video but your customer service and attitude toward your customers is horrendous.

[@Salty_Biscuitz88]

Why is Goruck so expensive?

[@serpserpserp]

American made.

[@TheCleric42]

Pity they don’t include a hip belt like a real backpack.

[@vbn2678]

Hm, I wonder if this guy was ever in the special forces.

[@intervention8816]

He loves to let us know lol

[@j.taveras8447]

He was, Jason was SF a green beret and served in combat. Way more than I can say for so many. Don’t hate.

He was a SF medic

[@crncy]

Rucking is the buying bottled water of ‘inventions’. It’s heavy backpack, nothing more. This shits lame.

[@Huckberryco]

We've had some tough heavy backpack workouts over here at our office -- great way crank up resistance on body weight activities in addition to hiking/walking. What's your go-to work out?

[@feve6071]

The origin story of the company is amazing. Go pickup Jason's book on the creation of goruck. it is an awesome real life vet story. GR1 forever.
