RUCKS & GEAR Shoulder Bags

The Aviator’s Kit Bag is used on all Airborne flight operations (jumping out of planes or helos). Special Forces and other units started using the Aviator’s Kit Bags as travel bags, pilot flight bags, and deployment bags because of the large opening at the top, which is plenty big enough to comfortably allow body armor to fit inside.

Our Kit Bags are inspired by classic aviator's kit bags, which are also used by Special Forces teams to transport a small army’s worth of gear (per person). We've modernized the aviator's kit bag and added functionality not for jumping out of airplanes, but for daily use, travel, and storage.

Rucksacks offer two straps aka a symmetrical carry. But, when professionals want to look professional and mix it up – they can get a strong core and lower back from doing asymmetrical carries or suitcase carries all around town (to get your second #75HARD workout of the day in). The GORUCK Shoulder bag beats out your standard shoulder bag as it’s tough enough for the boardroom to the subway and even to the workout (throw in 60 lbs of rocks and sand in it, or whatever other madness you can come up with).

We know, you’re probably going to use this for your laptop and work gear. That counts as weight too. Use it to commute or work on the go and look good doing it. #GETSOME

For Specs + Materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Kit Bag a retro canvas look with the durability you'd expect.

Everything you need for your sweat session, all in one place. From belts to water bottles, your extra Performance Tees, and more, this classic Gym Bag is purpose-built to help you organize all your stuff so you can focus on performing at your best. At 38L, throw all of your gear for your gym session in your bag and get moving.

Unlike traditional bags that trap moisture and funk in, this breathable mesh duffel is made for the beach or the pool or for housing wet clothes and dirty shoes after a long ruck. The open design lets wet towels, swimsuits, shoes and gear breathe (which cuts down on funk!) while sand and dirt shake out, and an interior closed pocket keeps your wallet and sunglasses clean, dry, and protected. Any day spent on land or in a boat where you use this bag to its max is a good day.

We only build what we want to carry. Some of the pics here (the black one) are from our family trip to Nicaragua, where our daughter got a lesson or two in GORUCK product photography standards aka use it hard, have fun, and share those pictures. — jason

Built from the same 1000D Cordura® found on many of our toughest products, this bag is made to handle whatever you throw at it (or in it).

Throw a 30-pack in it for a tailgate. Load it up with fresh produce at the farmers market. Haul dinner home from the grocery store. It’s the bag you keep by the door because you’ll use it every damn day.

Simple. Overbuilt. Ready for whatever the day hands you. And like all GORUCK gear, it’s backed by our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

The original Claymore Bag was developed by the U.S. Army to carry the M18A1 Claymore Mine, the M57 Firing Device, and the M4 Blasting Cap Assembly with a 100 foot cord. These three pieces were placed in the two large pouches at the front of the bag so that individuals could easily carry them until needed.

Using that design with the two large front pockets, we updated the bag to include a slim zipper pocket in the back for notebooks or iPads, two heavy duty buckles, and an adjustable shoulder strap.

For materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving a retro look with the durability you'd expect from GORUCK.

The Claymore Mine was named by its inventor Norman MacLeod after a large medieval Scottish sword.

As they always do, once the mine was used soldiers found that the empty bags worked great to carry extra rations, additional ammunition and personal items. This new Claymore Sling Bag follows in this tradition and makes an excellent messenger or vacation bag wherever you go. The Claymore Sling Bag is perfect to carry a book, iPad, shemagh, notebook and water bottle.

Our job is to bring back grit, sweat, and soul to modern day living, and to pay our lessons forward to the next generation. This is an over-built 38L gym bag complete with old school vibes and old school values. Use it hard.
