    GR2® Origins

    The Original Go-Bag

    "My “go-bag” in Iraq was more the size of a GR2 and was big, heavy, and full of lots of stuff I would need if our vehicle got disabled and we needed to fight for our lives. When I was back home in America, “go-bag” became “go-ruck” became GORUCK, and GR2 became our flagship travel ruck and my personal favorite."

    "What stood out most over the course of three weeks was how the pack's design forced me to stay organized."

    "From the hot desert, to a cold Minnesota winter, to the bustling streets of New York City, to the rainy season in Vietnam, this bag has held up well through thick and thin."

    GR2® Design Inspiration

    Special Forces Medical Ruck

    GR2® was originally based on a Special Forces medical ruck, which had two large compartments. It opened flat and had pockets everywhere, which were originally designed for specific medical equipment like bandages, tourniquets, gauze IV’s, medicine, etc.
