GORUCK Gear Price Increase
The GORUCK gear price increase is nothing short of brutal. Below is a screenshot on the current prices in red and the new prices crossed off. They are not fun and my biggest fear is that the “entry level” ruck is now over $250. That’s a tough pill to swallow for someone who is getting into rucking and isn’t quite sold on it yet.
GORUCK Apparel Price Increase
The GORUCK apparel price increase has been released as well and there are some shockers in there.
