Some of the stand out features of the GR3® Backpack from Goruck include the robust YKK zippers with silent, glove friendly zipper pulls which have been crafted from parachute 550 cord and the bombproof laptop compartment which is a separate area next to your back which is extra reinforced to securely take a laptop into combat or, indeed, just out into the wild in search of adventure.

Comfort is Key

When carrying a backpack, comfort is the most important feature for most and the GR3® definitely doesn’t disappoint. It has a padded top handle and two padded side handles, ideal for carrying through the airport or pulling out of the overhead bin and the shoulder straps are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably.

Ideally suited for outdoor adventure, the GR3® from Goruck allows you to clip your hydration bladder into the interior d-ring with a carabiner and feed the hose through the exit port under the top handle of the ruck to keep hydrated out in the wild.
