GR1 was built to thrive in Baghdad and NYC and has been tested and proven by Green Berets to meet the life or death standards of quality, toughness, and performance. It has proven itself the world over and earned its “Greatest Of All Time” status the hard way: one deployment, one event, one trip, one mile at a time. 1,000 Events/year, 175,000+ participants, and 200+ Special Forces Cadre later, the GORUCK Challenge is the most significant quality control program of its kind. No other bag is consistently put through more abuse, and GR1 thrives. The GR1 is built with a minimalist approach in mind and includes only the necessary features of an everyday carry rucksack: a bombproof laptop compartment, opens flat for easy packing, built with Special Forces grade materials, and soft but tough 210D CORDURA on the back panel and shoulder straps so your ruck doesn’t irritate your skin or chew up your apparel.
