GR1 USA - Heritage Waxed Canvas
Waxed Duck Canvas with Red Wing Leather
August 2026 Updates: MOLLE webbing on the shoulder straps and a brand new full-grain leather stars and stripes Spearhead patch.
GR1, the best rucksack ever built, meets time proven heavy canvas and construction.
Heritage means it’s proven by our grandfathers, and our grandfather’s grandfathers. And that it will last the test of time for those generations who come after us. For materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Heritage a retro canvas rucksack look with the durability you'd expect from a GR1.
