"…. even though I have never been a “skate boarder”! I was looking for durability in a carry on. I did not want it to be too big or too small. It’s just right and has plenty of pockets. The padded straps and lower back padding make it comfortable to wear through airports and for long travel days. Thank you for the hot pink straps!"
"I got the Skate Ruck because I preferred the look of this model to ones of similar size, and I liked the handles on the side of the bag that make it easier to carry around by hand. I use this as a motorcycle backpack because it's comfortable, surprisingly roomy and can hold a laptop without me worrying about it as much should it take a bump. This and it's quite water resistant. This has become my EDC bag that holds all of my daily essentials."
"I expected a Goruck ruck to be tough. But, I didn't expect it to look this good. This can be used more than a skate board bag. I strapped my tripod to it. The camo/black color is a outstanding."
"This is my 2nd GoRuck bag, I also own the Rucker 4. 0. Initially I purchased this bag because I wanted a 2nd rucking bag to take to work. The dual compartment makes this incredibly functional. I put my hydration and Tupperware in the front pocket along with my wallet and few other smaller carry items in the internal top pocket. In the main compartment I have a 20lb plate and I usually put my notebook, book, and any additional layers for the day as office temps fluctuate wildly as well as the weather where I live. This bag has proved to be an outstanding EDC which I hadn't anticipated. It also feels bigger than the stated 18L, it feels more like 20-21 to me. My only niggles with it, is that I wish it had a sternum strap and I wish the back panel weren't quite so stiff. My Rucker 4. 0 has 30lbs in it and is more comfortable. I also love the additional side handles which are not on the their double bullet 18L. Overall a great bag."
"This is my 3rd ruck pack…I love the compartments, the quality of the build, the backs design. The zippers as always. This is the first pack I had that’s not made in the USA, and I didn’t notice any quality issues. However, I’m in the process of returning this pack because the straps are not comfy like the GR2 or Bullet from 2023. Tried to ruck with 30 lbs and it’s cutting into my shoulders bad. Love the size, but the straps are just too thin to enjoy this as I intended. If you need this as a travel/work bag, it’s 100% great. If you’re thinking as a ruck, I’d save up more and go for a GR1."
"Great hardware to keep your deck secured, tons and tons of storage. The only downside is no space for internal water bladder. Lots of compartments to secure your ACRT however."
"I only recently learned about the GORUCK Skate Ruck. I enjoy skating and I have many skate decks that I want to use out and about. This is the perfect bag for this use case. I can carry my board (very snugly) and some gear (say a camera and a notebook or two, plus an iPad (or even a laptop)). This bag keeps my hands free when I am carrying my skate, letting me go on my fun photo + skate excursions. This would've been my perfect bag back in my college days when I'd commute using my skateboard. Now I can use this for fun trips out and about."
"It’s rigid out of the box but that’s part of the durability. It’s my EDC now son it’s breaking in quickly. I haven’t found anything to complain about 5 out 5 and everything I had hoped for"
"I used the Skate Ruck as an EDC for a small boat, close interaction, Grey whale tour in Baja California. No skate board this trip but I switched from flip flops to water/boat shoes using the skate board straps to hold the footwear in between boat runs. I also used the straps to hold a jacket during hikes for the desert climate temperature changes. The straps made for quick and convenient access."
"Love this backpack. It’s super unique and at the same time practical and tough. One of my favorites for sure"
