Huckberry recently introduced the GORUCK GR1 Heritage backpack via their 2021 gift guide collection. Co-founder Andy Huckberry says the GORUCK GR1 Heritage is his most favorite backpack on the planet. Here’s why. The Heritage backpack is military-grade duck canvas with a Martexin Wax finish, making it durable and completely rainproof. The GORUCK GR1 Heritage has an old-world craft, durability, and quality inspired by special forces medical rucks. It boasts military-grade construction, opens flat for easy packing, and provides internal mesh pockets to keep EDC secure. There is also a small hidden zipper pocket underneath the handle, an external slant pocket, and a removable leather patch panel on the front.
Huckberry calls the laptop compartment “bombproof”. It has a removable hard plastic frame to keep a laptop secure and flush against the back. There is also a false bottom to protect equipment when the backpack sits on the ground. This heavy-duty backpack has extra padded shoulder straps for comfortable wear. The handle and bottom panel are full-grain Red Wing leather from S.B Foot Tannery. The GORUCK GR1 Heritage has durable YKK zippers with silent, glove-friendly 550 paracord zipper pulls. Heritage partners with brands worldwide to curate an exclusive selection of men’s gear. The Heritage backpack comes in olive, dark oak, or field tan.
