Zero Abrasion on Fabric & Skin

It has taken us years to find a way to make the best rucksacks of all time even better. We added all-new 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps that doesn't irritate skin or chew up apparel (looking at you, merino wool).

QUICK ACCESS STASH POCKET

Padded Handles and Straps

Padded top handle and 2 padded side handles, perfect for carrying through the airport or pulling out of the overhead bin. Or wear on your back to carry heavier loads more comfortably.

Compression Straps

2 compression straps on each side allows you to pack the bag full of gear, then cinch the straps down and keep the ruck closer to your back.

GR3 EXPLAINED

It's Big and Tough.

The goal was pretty simple, as goals are. Build a travel ruck that would thrive in Baghdad, NYC, and the mountains of Afghanistan. Or any mountains for that matter.

Reviews

Sehr robuster Rucksack

"Ein sehr robuster Rucksack, der viel aushält. Er ist kein Leichtgewicht und der Preis auch nicht. Trotzdem würde ich den Rucksack empfehlen!"

— Karl O. (5/5)

GR3

"Just took a week long trip and this was a perfect fit for one bag travel. Solidly made like all GoRuck bags! Especially like the top pocket for tucking keys, wallet and phone when going thru TSA security. I also have a Rucker 4. 0 for the last 2-1/2 years which I use constistently and shows no wear. Expecting the same from this bag!"

— John N. (5/5)

Good for life!

"A perfect travel match with my GR1. No surprises, nothing fancy, just superior craftsmanship and good for life."

— J.R. S. (5/5)

Excited to break this thing

"Excited to break this thing in. The zipper is a little tough to manage with the fabric but once it breaks in it’ll be perfect. I do love the material and look of the waterproof bag versus my other bags. Definitely recommend."

— Daniel S. (5/5)

fantastic quality product. I'd wanted

"fantastic quality product. I'd wanted one of these for a long time - to pack on trips where my GR1 just wasn't quite big enough."

— Michael M. (5/5)

a great gift!

"It’s a christmas gift for a family member, all I know is that he was very specific in wanting this specific item and brand."

— Marie S. (5/5)

Excellent

"I’ve been wanting this bag for a while and it does not disappoint. I would prefer a slicker strap material for the side buckles and a 500D base."

— Cornell B. (5/5)

— Terry C. (5/5)

Everywhere Travel 💦 GR3

"After using my first GR3 for over 5y and travelling the world and hike the GR20, Europe's hardest long distance hike, I am even more happy with the X-Pac as its truly waterproof and I don‘t even need to worry about my electronics or use dry bags anymore."

— Kris S. (5/5)

Q&A

Could this pair well with Goruck plating? I'd like to use as a multi-purpose bag.
While the GR3 was not specifically designed for use with plates, the Ruck Plates will fit in the GR3
I'm looking for a laptop case and I wondered if the laptop compartment was able to stretch a bit in the width.
The laptop compartment width is set by the zippers on both sides and generally won't stretch.
Hi, how good would this be for a everyday backpack? I am 6 2" / 188cm.
The GR1 26L would generally be better for EDC. The GR3 is intended for longer trips and hiking.
What is the material it's made out of? 1000D Cordura? Thanks!
Yes, 1000D Cordura
