Need to carry a skateboard? Check out the new GR1 Skate Ruck – from GORUCK, and made in the USA.

GORUCK and Mike Vallely made their first collaboration to come up with the GR1 Skate Ruck.

Mike lately joined GORUCK at Sandlot JAX to discuss elite performance and share his story.

GR1 Skate Ruck – USA – Overview

Rucksacks from GORUCK are super tough and are known to have a Bombproof Laptop Compartment, and the GR1 Skate Ruck also features it. This compartment is next to your back with extra reinforcement, and has a false bottom so your laptop won’t even notice when you set your ruck down. The ruck has a removable, rigid plastic frame sheet that stabilizes the laptop compartment and allows you to hold more weight comfortably.

There are two adjustable skateboard straps on the front panel that buckle shut, extra padded shoulder straps, and a top handle so you can easily carry heavier loads.
