GORUCK Christmas in July 2019 is live! I’m not sure what month it is anymore! With completing a GORUCK 4th of July event on June 29th to GORUCK releasing their Christmas in July sale and July Monthly Rucking Challenge on June 30th… is it still June? Who knows anymore…
Either way there are a bunch of items on sale at GORUCK right now!

The GORUCK Gear Sale
The larger items on sale are the GORUCK GR1 (in various colors) for $275 which is discounted down from $395. The biggest surprise here is that included in the sale is the recently released surplus Military Branch GR1 a Rep Your School GR1s. Those were all released at $315 for pre-order and they’re showing up now for $275.
Next up we’ve got the 20L Rucker down to $175 from $265 which is a great deal in itself. Arguably the best pack for rucking for $175… it’s hard to beat.
There’s various GORUCK accessories on sale as well… field pockets, packing cubes, tough bag, etc. Very in-line with previous Christmas in July sales.
The GORUCK Bundle Sale
If you’ve been in the market for a number of pieces of GORUCK gear then one of these bundles might suit your needs. The only bundle that doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me is the Elite Athlete Bundle. The big draw on that one is you’re getting the Black Rucker 20L (which isn’t currently on sale) but if you can handle one of the colored Rucker 20L packs then you can save even more money than that bundle.
The GORUCK Apparel Sale
I think the standout for the apparel and clothing line of this year’s sale is the MACV-1 boots for $125. They’re $70 off retail and come with the same lifetime warranty that they would have even if they weren’t on sale. I wasn’t sure how the lifetime warranty would work (for shoes) but based on recent posts on social media it sounds like GORUCK is indeed completely replacing boots that fail even after hundreds of miles.
There’s lots of other apparel on sale as well (almost too much to list) so check out the sale page (or below) to view all the details!

Overall Thoughts
There’s a few things that surprised me with the GORUCK Christmas in July Sale 2019. First off it’s starting on June 30th which I never saw coming. Second there’s gear on sale for cheaper now than the pre-order price only a few months ago. Third, the GR1 Heritage was not included in the sale. We’ll see how the month shapes up but
Like with most GORUCK sales (except for the craziness last Black Friday) inventory is limited to what’s on hand so grab what you want now before it’s gone. Did you grab anything? Let me know (as well as your thoughts on the sale) in the comments below!
In previous years so any additional items go on sale on July 4th? Or does the sale usually list all things that will be on sale from the start of Christmas in July?
Different years have had it work different ways. Some years have had a big “special” sale on the 4th of July, some years items have been added later in the year, there’s never anything announced so it will be interesting to see how this year turns out!
I’ve bought so many things for myself at the last sale, that I’m using this month to prep for birthday and Christmas gifts ;)
Great call! There’s going to be some lucky people in your life :)
$125 for a 15L bullet? This seems like a screamer of a deal . . . might go with the 20L Rucker though. Might go with both!
It is! I broke down and bought a Stormtrooper 15L Bullet…
I pre-ordered a GR1 – Navy Ed. which I received 2 weeks ago. I could of saved $40 if I had just waited. I bought a large packing cube, a Bullet, a Rucker, and a GR1 tonight.
Two week back? Just call them. You’re still in the return window so I would think they’d adjust the price for you.
I’d hope they would as well… otherwise you could always re-buy and return the one you pre-ordered. I know there are people still waiting on their pre-ordered gear and then to see them cheaper… that’s gotta hurt.
Surprised to see 15L Rucker & Echo listed on the sale but with the same “discontinued” price ($195) as before, and more expensive than the 20L Rucker ($175) & way more expensive than the Bullet ($125). I’ve been keeping my eyes on the 15L Rucker & Echo inventory & planned to order one for my son when the price went down, but instead just ordered a red & black 20L Rucker for him and he can grow into it a little bit. Finally replacing his original Kid Ruck from years ago. Training for Star Course 2020!
Awesome call! He’ll get a lot of life out of that Rucker and it’s an even better deal anyways!
I have been waiting to purchase a new pair of MACV1S after I had lost a bunch of weight and needed to go down in size. I bought mine as soon as I saw the sale went live. I wish the Coyote colors would have gone on sale as I would have gotten a pair of those as well.
I could have used a pair of Coyote as well but so glad people are able to take advantage of the Black ones. Just used mine again at an event on Saturday and they did great!
