The model owners most often point to
GoRuck GR1 rucksack
Rucksacks built heavy-duty, with a repair reputation among owners.
What owners say
- Owners report loading the GR1 heavy and dragging it through mud, and it comes out looking like new.
- It is stiff when new and reportedly softens with hard use, though one owner who has beaten his still finds it rigid and prefers it that way.
- One owner found the MOLLE webbing very tight and hard to thread at first.
