GR1, the best rucksack ever built, meets time proven heavy canvas materials and construction.
Heritage means it’s proven by our grandfathers, and our grandfather’s grandfathers. And that it will last the test of time for those generations who come after us. For materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Heritage a retro canvas rucksack look with the durability you'd expect from a GR1.

"This is probably my tenth goruck bag and it will probably be my last or at least my wife hopes that’s the case. This bag is absolutely perfect. It’s beautiful and feels perfect. It’s my second heritage bag and it has become my favorite goruck bag hands down. Amazing work."
"This is a very good looking back pack with great utility features. Wears very comfortably and carries a lot."
"Got my new GR1 Heritage and before I could transfer my daily carry from my GR2 my wife announced that she was taking it for a trip. By all accounts it’s a great bag and I am feeling a bit jealous about her new GR1!! Lol"
"GORUCK crushed it as usual. This new edition of the waxed canvas bag has small little touches like the American flag on the inside and the blaze orange liner on the small handle pocket when you're trying to find something quick. Obviously tough as nails but not ostensibly military looking from the outside. Blends in well to job sites and camp sites."
"Fabulous quality, design, and just a freaking cool color combination! The leather with the waxed canvas is gorgeous."
"It’s as I hoped for… another excellent product from Goruck!"
"You know that piece of gear that makes you grin every time you grab it? That's my GR1 Heritage. The price tag is heavy. I get it. But no typical offshore option is even on the same planet as the Hertiage. I am a craftsmanship snob. Picky is putting it lightly. The material, fit and constructed finish on this sack is incredible. I mean not even a loose thread or misaligned stich anywhere. The interior is as rugged as the outside. This is my daily laptop and my travel sack. Perfect size for multi day trips and plane rides. Great carry on size and you can just feel the sack envy walking up to the terminal. Thanks GoRuck for sticking to your standards for function, quality and USA made! Please don't ever change no matter how in demand your gear gets. Thanks! Will in Coastal GA"
"Bag is great. Lives up to the hype. Feels very sturdy and is a lot heavier than I thought! Don't worry, the canvas is not too thin! Size is good, if you are tossing up, just get the 26L, it's not too big. Bag is less comfy on the back when it's empty due to the solid build and frame sheet, but it's built to be loaded up."
"I’ve had mine for a long time. First release, 26L. It has never let me down. Hundreds of miles on my back, thousands of miles by my side. Breaks in perfectly. Builds a patina like no other. There are many out there. This one is mine. You won’t miss the money. Get off the fence! ***rumble.***/v7bj7iw-gr1-heritage-usa-26l-longterm-review.html"
"Overall the bag is great as it is water resistant to decent tropical rain (Oahu) and i have not had any problems with capacity yet. Organization is simple as expected especially with the internal molle and my laptop is very safe. The only things I have changed are the zipper pulls, carry handle, taking out the plastic backplate (personal preference), and adding tow strap hooks to the sides. The only thing I could request from Goruck is to PLEASE ADD A MORE BREATHABLE BACKING, albeit I am and easy sweater and in a tropical enviorment but with the full waxed canvas back its even worse. That and if they could add maybe a single line of molle or just two loops of it so I could tie on work boots as I used to but thats just moaning cuz I really wanted waxed canvas and didn't get the regular GR1. But overall this is a great bag that will definetly last me years to come."
