When the operational environment or date night calls for a collar, we wanted the same trusted Tri-BlendX fabric as our beloved GORUCK t-shirts, the ones we have dozens of on our shelves. Tri-BlendX is anti-stink, soft, and tough as nails — proven at thousands of GORUCK Events since 2010. The collar really classes it up.

Sunday mornings come once a week and this is how I dress up. And when it’s time to break a sweat, I’m still good to go in a shirt I love to wear. —Jason

In WWI, wool was so important to British soldiers on the front lines that knitting wool sweaters was seen as a patriotic duty. By WWII, wool’s reputation was further solidified. However, SAS members spent extended periods in the field, laden with rucksacks and additional equipment, constantly on the move.

After witnessing repeated failures with their traditional wool sweaters, the SAS sought a lighter alternative, reinforcing the shoulders for durability. This became the iconic British Commando Sweater, and the inspiration for what we call the “commando test” — to pass muster, Merino wool must be reinforced in high stress areas. If it’s not, it simply fails too fast like the traditional wool garments that the SAS rejected.

We build ALL GORUCK Merino Wool tops with reinforced paneling on the shoulders so your Merino shirt keeps its structure better over the long haul – representing the standard for performance in the Merino wool category and passing the Commando Test. This ensures that your Merino shirt maintains its shape over time, while still providing all the advantages of Merino, such as odor resistance and perfect temperature regulation, regardless of the adventure or mission at hand.

FRESH WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT

Our 89% Merino wool blend is antimicrobial, quick drying, and insulating, while the 12% Nylon helps the fabric retain its shape and be more abrasion resistant. Merino wool is naturally breathable, so you won’t be sweating through this polo like you did all your others whether you’re at the office or rucking off the beaten path. The natural antimicrobial property of Merino wool means that when sweating can’t be helped, the stink doesn’t penetrate into the fabric. Wear it all day and it’s still fresh when happy hour rolls around.

Cold engines need to warm up before you slam on the gas. Do that.

The fabric is indestructible against any rucksack and fully abrasion resistant, like you. A hidden map pocket (that breathes) in the interior is a nice bonus — if your hands are cold, put your gloves in there. Commando shouldering keeps the structure of the piece fully intact for a lifetime of abuse.

WARM. UP. IN. STYLE. and then keep burning that gasoline full throttle.

If your ruck is heavy and your trek is long, unless it’s Antarctica cold AF, you don’t need a base layer on your legs. Your pants break the wind and your movement keeps you warm.

But when the sun drops, or your movement is limited and your hatred of the cold rears its head, our merino long johns become a Godsend. They keep you warm when it’s cold and they breathe when the sun reigns down again.

Designed, tested, proven and built in the USA by American craftsmen and women, GORUCK Merino Bottoms come with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

The MACV-1 Travelers are boots inspired by classic airborne jump boots and are ready for you all day at any time. We took the platform of our tried and true MACV-1 and dressed it up with Challenge Leather, different sewing structure on the exterior, and a suede garment leather interior so they can be worn from the office directly to the bar for a beer or out on a ruck. But even though they look fancy, they still have all of the durability you would expect from MACV-1: wide toe box, 13mm ideal rucking offset, and lightweight.

All-Terrain Outsole
Dual compound rubber outsole delivers versatile performance in any environment, including improved traction on wet and muddy terrain. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip while the heel area is formulated for abrasion resistance and increased durability. The outsole also wraps up at the toes for understated protection against aggressive terrain or when doing push-ups.

Wide Toe Box
Generous forefoot area lets your toes breathe. Over time and distance during any activity including rucking or traveling, your feet will swell. This extra space reduces the friction that can occur if your feet rub against the insides of your boot.

3mm Speed Laces
Speed laces are 3mm as opposed to standard 5mm. Debris and mud doesn't collect on the 3mm laces like it does on the 5mm, the 3mm rinse off and dry faster, and they're faster to tie because there's less bulk.

Rucking Offset
The ideal heel-to-toe drop for rucking. A 13mm offset reduces the strain on your achilles (and by proxy your ankle, knees, and hips) and helps to accommodate a natural gait in an unnatural world of asphalt and man-made surfaces.

Lightweight EVA Midsole
The relationship between the EVA midsole and the rubber outer sole matters greatly to the performance of the boot - and the combined weight is a major factor in whether you want to wear them or not.

Premium Suede Molded Heel Counter
Wraps a supportive, injection molded plastic heel counter. This combo stabilizes your heel as the suede leather prevents the kind of friction that causes hotspots and blisters.

No Spacer Mesh
Spacer mesh is soft, squishy, and feels comfortable to your hand when you touch it. But it’s a trap, literally. The first time spacer mesh looks at any kind of water, your boots get heavier and they stay that way. So we proudly do not use spacer mesh, end of story.

Custom Compression Insert
Our custom insert uses a dense compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support - throughout the duration of your foot strike.

Molded Toe Cap
The molded toe cap ensures that the toe of your boot keeps its shape.

No Break-In Time
They're ready when you are, right out of the box.

Rear Finger Loop
Added a finger loop to the rear of the boot so you can easily pull your Travelers on and off.

We built the Rough Runner® to be lightweight and good for high mileage, on a modern running platform. You’ll recognize this in a comfortable fit, but these are not just normal running shoes. In Special Forces, we would run our asses off on pavement and on tank trails and then get to the physical training — push, pull, carry, drag and roll around in dirt fields with weight and slick. Simply running in a straight line is not enough for our way of life and we needed more versatility to do all the things. This is the inspiration for the Rough Runner®.

Wake up, move your ass. Get a workout in, drink a pot or two of coffee, take a ruck meeting, grab a cold beer at the end of the day, rinse, and repeat. Our tough as nails sweatpants are built for all kinds of "work" including the kinds where you really sweat.

A subtle cuff at the bottom keeps (some) debris out - if nothing gets in, though, roll around in the dirt some more, it'll be OK.

Proudly overbuilt in the USA and backed by the best guarantee on the market, our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

Anti-Chafe — helping prevent monkey butt and other forms of weird chafing.

We spent three years developing the ultimate combination of compression, moisture wicking and comfort that would live up to our GORUCK standards. Built from the ground up, these compression shorts combine a 240 gram fabric that provides just the right amount of compression with a 100 gram grid mesh that enhances breathability in all the right places. A custom jacquard elastic waistband completes the style with additional quality and comfort. Built to handle your toughest workouts and replace your daily boxer briefs, keeping the chafe away.

We took the best of workwear blue jeans - the toughness, the simplicity - and chose a tough as nails fabric that's trusted by the rock climbing industry and further proven at thousands of GORUCK Events. They're the absolute best pants for traveling, commuting, rucking, and training.

The MACV-1™ modernized the Vietnam-era jungle boot, and the MACV-2™ continues that legacy with an all-new outsole for unprecedented traction and even more support.

Suitable for the needs of Special Forces soldiers who spend a career on their feet, all over the world, with heavy rucks on their backs. And for all adventurers who are looking to support their feet on long trips, journeys, and in their daily active lives. MACV-2™ is ready when you are.

Fifty-one years ago I was issued jungle boots by the U.S. Army during my first tour in Vietnam. I didn’t know much about their history, just that they seemed a bit strange, as I was used to wearing all-leather civilian hunting and military combat boots and these “jungle boots” were black leather and green canvas. Jungle boots were first adopted around 1942 for use by Army and Marine troops who were operating in tropical and jungle environments including the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indochina.

Since their inception, jungle boots have undergone multiple incarnations - moving to a Panama Sole that better sheds heavy mud; adding steel plates to prevent injuries from punji stick traps; changing the canvas tops to nylon; and replacing the normal insoles with removable ones that provided better ventilation.

While each modification added to the utility of the boots (and by the way, they became my favorites) the GORUCK MACV-1's have far exceeded any of the boots I’ve worn in the past. They’re more comfortable, lighter weight, and more supportive than I expected. They weigh about as much a pair of trail running shoes and are ergonomically designed to better support my feet and ankles. Break-in is virtually non-existent, the insole conforms and supports the foot, and the drain holes really do their job.

The MACV-1 Origins Edition in Black and Military Olive is a nod to the heritage of early jungle boots and those who have passed this way. They look good, feel better, and just work.

A featherweight training shirt that excels during a long ruck and your toughest workouts, dries lightning fast to keep you moving. We built these tees to our exacting standards using proprietary, made-in-Italy ToughMesh™ fabric.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci

ToughMesh™ is our world-class, featherweight fabric milled at the foothills of the Italian Alps, not far from where da Vinci painted The Last Supper. It took us five years to develop, test and prove a fabric that could thrive in our way of life — no cost, time, or rigor was spared to create a line of apparel that’s tough enough to endure the demands of rucking and training and will dry long before you could drink your first beer, which will be well earned.

We’re proud of the outcome and hope you wear it hard.

Designed, tested, proven, and built in the USA by American craftsmen and women, all GORUCK apparel comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee.

Two of the toughest performance fabrics meet to make the Indestructible Performance Half Zip. The jacket combines the lightweight, hi-tech warmth of the Polartec® Power Grid™ fabric and the abrasion resistance of our ToughDry® Fabric.

The patented grid construction knit of the Grid Fleece strengthens performance efficiency by increasing warmth and breathability, while also reducing fabric mass. These geometric patterns improve compressibility, sweat-wicking, and add technical style. By reinventing thermal warmth possibilities, Power Grid™ is a minimalist design that maximizes fabric performance.

The elbows and shoulders of the indestructible jacket are reinforced with our ToughDry® fabric that is built with Nylon for added abrasion resistance during low crawls and underneath your ruck. This is the same fabric proven year after year in both Challenge Pants and Challenge Windbreakers at GORUCK Selection. It's tough as nails, lightweight, wicks moisture, and performs flawlessly no matter the environment.
