We’re taking a look at the GR1 Heritage from GORUCK. It’s a classy iteration of their famous GR1; instead of 1000D Cordura, we’re getting 10.10oz Army Duck Waxed Canvas and Red Wing Leather.

They’ve stripped away the MOLLE/PALS webbing, reducing the well-known tactical/military look - leaving a timeless design that can go anywhere.

As mentioned in the video, the frame sheet was upgraded with a new frame sheet from ruckcustoms.com.

    Ordered one of the frame sheets for my new Heritage. Thanks for the heads up on those!

    Thanks for the review. Someday I will purchase a GoRuck. I’ve been looking at them off and on for years, but have just never pulled the trigger. Loving the look of the waxed canvas. I don’t typically like brown backpacks and like you, I tend to steer clear of camo/military/outdoor style packs. The style just doesn’t fit into my daily routine very well. This bag however, I could totally rock. I bet it’s going to patina nicely over the years. I’m a Mission Workshop fan, looking forward to those next videos!!

    Thanks for the overview! I’m still awaiting mine from GR (hopefully October if not sooner). Glad to see what I ordered in use. Please update if you have any issues with the Canvas. I’ve been an adamant Cordura user, so I gambled on the heritage and hopefully don’t regret it.

    What size do you recommend for 5'10? I know Goruck recommends the 26l for 6' and up.

    Does the leather bottom bleed when wet? I had a backpack with leather bottom that stained my clothes after it got wet.

    Hello! Thanks for the review! Can you please tell how is your Heritage holding over time? Some people reported getting holes from regular use...
  • @rooks5996
    Would you use that size of 26L for EDC? or would you go down to the 21L version?
  • @FactFinderGeneral
    Definitely avoid the woodland camo edition. Tons of reports of poorly stitched zippers and seams bursting.
  • @oscar6755
    How’s the leather bottom holding up? Worried it might scratch up badly during daily use.

    Heritage is so much better than the GR1XC.
