GORUCK GR1

The 1.6~1.8mm cowhide is significantly more durable than standard fabrics and is designed to develop a unique patina over time. While it requires less frequent cleaning than nylon, it will show scuffs and marks as part of its character, which is intended by the design.

Yes, the bombproof laptop compartment is specifically sized to fit most 15-inch laptops. It features a false bottom to ensure your device does not hit the ground when you set the bag down.

Absolutely. The 21L capacity and dimensions are TSA compliant, making it an ideal size for stowing under an airplane seat or in the overhead bin.

Yes, the use of premium cowhide leather brings the total weight to 4.18 lbs. While it is heavier than the standard nylon GR1, the extra padded shoulder straps are designed to distribute that weight comfortably for daily carry.

While the bag is built to GORUCK’s overbuilt standards, the leather exterior is primarily intended for travel and daily use. We recommend reserving this limited edition model for urban environments rather than abrasive outdoor rucking.

To keep the leather in good condition, you should occasionally use a high-quality leather conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water exposure, as the leather will naturally evolve and darken with use.
