GORUCK recently split their GR2 product out into two separate versions. The traditional GR2 that people have come to know and love is now the 40L version. The recently released 34L option is a franken-pack which combines aspects from both the original GR2 and GR1 into something new.
If you are already a fan of GORUCK then you’ll feel right at home when you grab hold of this pack.
Everything you know and love about GORUCK can be found here. The idea behind this pack was to create a GR2 that was sized for normal people… people who aren’t 6’5″ like Jason.
All of the pockets found in the standard GR2 can be found here however they have a slightly reduced size. This pack is 2″ shorter than the 40L GR2 so everyone knew that change had to have some impact on the internals of the pack.
Same handy upper pocket is found in this pack like its older brother the 40L… just slightly smaller.
To make room for the 4 rows of webbing the inside pocket has been made shorter. This is a lot more noticeable if you compare a GR1 and GR2 side-by-side… something we’ll be posting soon.
Laptop pocket is present! And what’s that? An X? There was some extra chalk left on the pack when it showed up. Thankfully it’s easy to rub off with a wet towel.
A little bit of extra chalk on the shoulder as well… this stuff comes off easily too.
Notice anything in the above picture? Maybe something missing? There’s nothing propping up this GR2… it stands on its own. From what I know all GORUCK packs up until this point (at least the GR0, 3 GR1s, 2 GR2s, Bullet 10, and SD25) that I own cannot pull off this feat. Apparently the 34L GR2 has that ability. Marvel in it.
The 34L GORUCK GR2 can be found on the GORUCK website in both Black and Wolf Grey. Have any questions or comments? Feel free to leave them below!
