GORUCK has gone absolutely apeshit today releasing a plethora of gear that hardly anyone saw coming. The GR0 is very similar to the GR1 and sports the same 3 rows of webbing. It’s modeled as the GR1 for short people (only 5 liters smaller) and is recommended for those who want a GR1 but are under 6 feet tall.
They’ve put a good deal of pictures on their site comparing the two rucks which I’ve included here. As much as I’d love a GR0 I don’t think I’ll be picking one up as I’m a good 6’2″ tall and don’t need a ruck smaller than a GR1. However, if my wife ever mentions wanting a GORUCK bag I’ll probably go straight to this bag for her since she’s very short. The GR0 comes in Black, Multicam, and Coyote and each look amazing… although I’m a little partial to the Coyote.
Check this new ruck out in GORUCK’s online store. The sticker price is $265 but if you sign up for an event and purchase it then you’ll probably get 20% off.
