Rucksacks

It's Not a Backpack, It's a Rucksack.

Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces training and where we learned the way of the ruck.

Proven in the toughest environments in the world and built to Army Special Forces standards, GORUCK rucksacks are the absolute best for everyday carry, rucking, and traveling. Every ruck we build is backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

Training Rucksacks

Rucker®

We believe rucking is the world's best exercise, and the Rucker is the best rucksack for rucking. Just add weight (we prefer Ruck Plates®) to your rucksack, and start training. With ergonomic lumbar support and an all-new, less abrasive fabric, the Rucker® is truly the gym on your back.

Ruck Plate Carrier™

Training Weight Vest

We took our padded shoulder straps from the Rucker® which are the most comfortable on the planet under load, and we sized and contoured them to make the world's best Training Weight Vest.

BULLET

15L / 16L / 18L

The Bullet is the perfect streamlined ruck that you can use as a daypack or a grab and go ruck. One day it’s a trip to the pool, the next you’re stuffing jackets and snacks into your backpack for a day hike. It also makes a solid pack to loan a friend who is new to rucking and thinks their cheap book bag will be just fine — which it will be, till it won’t
