RUCK. RUN. LIFT. TRAIN. BE STRONGER WITH ROUGH RUNNER® 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®. Features GRADIENT DENSITY™ EVA MIDSOLE There's no other midsole like it. Custom formulated EVA provides cushioning and rebound with better long-term durability than any other running shoe on the market. No marshmallow here. Gradient Density™ means the EVA has more bounce under the balls of your foot and gradually becomes more stable towards your heel. You can't see it, but you'll feel the difference from heel strike to toe off. VERSATILE ROAD-TO-TRAIL OUTSOLE Pound the pavement or go off-road. Two different rubber compounds form a single, seamless rubber outsole that performs in even the most demanding terrain. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip and the heel is dense, durable and won't wear down after miles of running or ruck running. LIGHTWEIGHT MESH + REINFORCED TPU UPPER Seamless, one-piece 100D polyester mesh provides breathability and flexibility without cramping your toes. At 330 g/sqm it's the ideal balance of weight and toughness. High-wear areas are reinforced with a protective TPU film. We targeted the toe area for abrasion resistance and the midfoot to heel area for additional lockdown support. 10MM OFFSET A 10mm heel-to-toe drop allows for the ideal balance between a running stride and a rucking gait. You have enough of a lift to reduce the strain on your achilles and support your heel strike while still controlling your cadence. 3D MOLDED HEEL LOCK Comfortable PU foam bolsters lock in the heel to prevent slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. This allows you to secure your heel into the shoe without relying on lace-locking or lacing too tightly. ANATOMICALLY MOLDED TPU HEEL COUNTER Anchors your foot with a supportive, injection molded heel counter that stabilizes your heel when you're doing dynamic, load bearing exercises. REFLECTIVE PULL TAB Highly reflective pull tab on the back heel keeps you visible on the road or trail. Stay safe out there when choosing the harder path. LACE-LOCK EYELETS Extra top eyelets can be used to create a tight heel lock — commonly called a runner's loop or lock lace — that prevents heel slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. CUSTOM HIGH DENSITY INSERT Dense, PU foam insert custom made to fit the contours of the foot supporting all three (3) arches of the foot — yes, you have three arches in your foot (the medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch and the anterior transverse arch).  Specs + Materials Upper materials: 100D polyester mesh + TPU film reinforcement Gradient Density™ EVA Midsole Dual Compound Rubber Outsole Custom High Density Insert included 10mm heel-to-toe drop Weight (size 9): 10.5 ounces Dimensions (size 9): 12"x4.5"x4.5" Lace-Lock eyelets Built in Vietnam Care Instructions: Remove insert. Hose them down thoroughly and let air dry (won't take long). Do not use washer/dryer - it's easier this way.

A PULLOVER THAT PASSES THE COMMANDO TEST 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 and elbows 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. Sale products are not eligible for discounts, including GOVX. Features Reinforced shoulders and elbows with Indestructible Training Fabric 11% Nylon blend helps the merino wool retain its shape and be more abrasion resistant. The 89% Merino Wool carries antimicrobial, quick drying, and insulating properties. Long sleeves to keep you warm rucking or living in colder weather Built in the USA with wool sourced from New Zealand Small GORUCK Spearhead on the chest Classic fit - patterned after our best selling Triblend T-shirts, then built from the ground up. Fabric + Care Merino Wool: 11% Nylon blend helps the merino wool retain its shape and be more abrasion resistant. The 89% Merino Wool carries antimicrobial, quick drying, and insulating properties. Materials: 89% wool, 11% Nylon Care Instructions: Machine wash cold, do not bleach, hang dry.

ALL-TERRAIN RUCKING SHOES Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces training and the Mackall™ is an off-road rucking machine. Maximum versatility and maximum support in a low top trail shoe named in honor of Camp Mackall, the home of Special Forces training. Features AGGRESSIVE TRIPLE COMPOUND OUTSOLE Each section of the triple compound rubber outsole is designed to perform a specific function the best it possibly can. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip with deep tread specifically shaped to grab the ground while shedding mud and debris. It wraps around the toes for additional protection against rocky terrain or when doing push-ups. The midfoot is formulated from a rock climbing compound and hardened for exceptional abrasion resistance — ideal for fast roping. The heel is more dense and formulated for extreme durability with an expanded heel strike area that won't break down over time or distance. RUGGED MIDSOLE The midsole design wraps around the entire upper providing significantly more stability and maximum support. Support you need for your feet so they’re not smoked after being on your feet all day, whatever you’re doing. Support is foundational to Mackall™ and makes them versatile — great for combat, traveling, and for people who demand a lot of their feet. LIGHTWEIGHT KNIT + REINFORCED TPU UPPER 100% polyester knit constructed with the strength and durability to thrive in unforgiving environments. At 230 g/sqm, it's lightweight and fast drying. High-wear areas are reinforced with a protective TPU film. We targeted the toe area for abrasion resistance and the midfoot to heel area for additional lockdown support. PROTECTIVE TOE CAP No stubbed toes from craggy rocks or rogue sticks on the trail. A dual layered toe cap provides extra protection and abrasion resistance across the toes. Reinforced bonding to the rubber outsole's toe bumper results in better long term durability after miles of abusive terrain. IDEAL RUCKING OFFSET The ideal heel-to-toe drop for rucking. 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. 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. 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. 3D MOLDED HEEL LOCK Comfortable PU foam bolsters lock in the heel to prevent slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. This allows you to secure your heel into the shoe without relying on lace-locking or lacing too tightly. ANATOMICALLY MOLDED TPU HEEL COUNTER Anchors your foot with a supportive, injection molded heel counter that stabilizes your heel when you're doing dynamic, load bearing exercises. 3MM SPEED LACES 3mm as opposed to standard 5mm, just like MACV-2™. 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. REFLECTIVE PULL TAB Highly reflective pull tab on the back heel keeps you visible on the road or trail. Stay safe out there when choosing the harder path. LACE-LOCK EYELETS Extra top eyelets can be used to create a tight heel lock — commonly called a runner's loop or lock lace — that prevents heel slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. DUAL DENSITY INSERT Our custom insert uses a dual layered compression foam system that supports your entire foot from heel to toe - including contoured arch support for all 3 of your arches- throughout the duration of your foot strike. Specs + Materials Upper materials: 230 g/sqm polyester knit + TPU film reinforcement Rugged, yet lightweight EVA midsole Triple compound rubber outsole Custom dual density insert included 13mm heel-to-toe drop Neutral last (straight from heel to toe) Weight (size 9): 13.5 ounces Dimensions (size 9): 12"X3.5"x4.5" Lace-Lock eyelets Built in Vietnam Care Instructions: Remove insert.

“There’s children throwing snowballs, instead of throwing heads, they’re busy building toys and absolutely no one’s dead.” — Jack Skellington The Nightmare WOD Before Christmas is a GORUCK community tradition continued by Chris Strasser of Vice City Ruckers as an annual fundraiser and way to spend time with his Ruck Club around the holidays. Chris gave us permission to share a version of this spirited workout of the day with GORUCK Nation and Tribe. The patch will be available on December 1 and we invite you to collectively do this 2-part WOD on December 2 and 9. That said, you can plan your club’s Nightmare WOD any time this month.

TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB Built with featherweight Italian ToughMesh in the USA — this top is built to breathe, wick sweat, and shield your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. When you get it, it’ll seem lighter than you’d expect and packs down to nothing—perfect for travel, training, and everything in between. Wear often and use hard. Features   Built out of world-class, featherweight ToughMesh™–ToughMesh keeps you cool in the heat and dry in colder weather 35 UPF protection for lightweight, breathable coverage on sunny days Lightweight base layer in colder weather Small GORUCK spearhead on chest Chest seam to reduce friction when rucking Materials Black: 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane About ToughMesh™: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci. T’s transition easily from the driveway to the streets to the bar. With and without a ruck on your back. ToughMesh™ weighs only 100GSM (grams per square meter). That’s 30-40% less weight than normal performance fabrics. To make the fabric tough enough, we use nylon (then add a little stretch). The polyester version repeatedly failed our testing and cost us an extra year that we’ll never get back. Every roll of fabric takes 6 hours to complete, using 44 gauge needles. Standard fabric takes 45 minutes and uses 20 gauge needles. Quality takes time. Mini-perforations are woven into the fabric to increase airflow, speed up dry time and decrease weight. They’re small and mighty but do not dominate the aesthetic of the shirt. ToughMesh™ has a rating of UPF 35 - this means that you will get more protection from UV rays than a standard training shirt

"Love Is the Only Force Capable of Transforming an Enemy Into Friend."  When asked how long it would take for justice to come to those seeking equality, Dr. King replied, “How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” The Selma to Montgomery marches were three protests held in March 1965, along the 54-mile highway from Selma, Alabama, to the state capital of Montgomery. Today, the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail honors the 54-mile march of non-violent activists, led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In the lead up to and during these marches, peaceful protesters were met with intractable resistance and violence by whites in positions of power that resulted in the death of deacon Jimmie Lee Jackson, as well as the brutal beating of Amelia Boynton and others in an event that became known as Bloody Sunday. By highlighting racial injustice, these marches contributed to passage that year of the Voting Rights Act, a landmark federal achievement of the civil rights movement. "Last Sunday, more than eight thousand of us started on a mighty walk from Selma, Alabama. We have walked through desolate valleys and across the trying hills. We have walked on meandering highways and rested our bodies on rocky byways. Some of our faces are burned from the outpourings of the sweltering sun. Some have literally slept in the mud. We have been drenched by the rains. Our bodies are tired and our feet are somewhat sore." - Excerpt from the speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. on the steps of the State Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama How It Works You ruck a total of 54 miles wherever you live, preferably with friends. You choose if you want the miles to be cumulative or consecutive. Net proceeds of the Selma 54 mile patch sales will go to our partners at The Give Team, a fitness and leadership program made up of students from the New Image Youth Center located in the inner city neighborhood of Parramore in Orlando.

In the 1987 action/sci-fi classic Predator, a deadly alien comes to Earth and attacks a bunch of SF dudes in the middle of the jungle. Do you remember how Arnold Schwarzenegger ended up tricking the Predator? The Predator has thermal vision, so it can see you all the time. Well, Arnold got smart and covered himself from head to toe in mud which lowered his thermal signature, and the Predator couldn’t find him. Do you see where we’re going with this? Welcome to the Predator Ruck. The whole team has to get muddy at the start of their ruck, as muddy as you can (or want), and as always…cool points for being original. Then, once you’re safe from the Predator, head out for the ruck. Four miles (or more) as a group covered in mud. Nothing too crazy. Have some fun and take lots of pictures! OPTIONAL: If you’ve done a Mud Ruck before and want to change this one up, divide your group into two teams, pick your “landing zone” for extraction and then each team muddies up and sets off in an opposite direction with the goal of arriving at the LZ first. But you’ll be hunting one another along the way. If either team spots the other, get within +/- 30 feet and take a photo, then yell out “Ambush!” to the other team. The ambushers then allow the dead to “earn their lives back” with 5 minutes of #GoodLivin (the ambushers get to pick what kind of #GoodLivin to dole out). When both teams go their separate ways, there’s a 5 minute safe period for each team before any additional ambushes can take place, so…get to the choppah! Play continues until one team reaches the LZ, where the winning team gets to decide what kind of #GoodLivin the other team gets to enjoy. For an extra challenge, hold this Callout at night! Regular safety protocols apply, natch. The Details 4 miles minimum (distance starts as soon as you are muddy) 4 people or more Bonus cool points for getting muddy/unmuddy in a fun/unique way No weight requirement, use your regular training weight Share on social media and use #RUCKCLUBCALLOUT and tag @goruck

Waxed Canvas Flight Bag 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 32L 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. For 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.

ToughMesh - Performance and Elegance Collide The Women’s Racerback Tank: a featherweight, buttery-soft singlet built to handle the heat—whether that’s a brutal workout or the midday sun. This isn’t just another tank—it’s made with our proprietary ToughMesh, a world-class premium fabric milled in Italy at the foot of the Alps, where performance, toughness, and elegance collide.

Every single roll of this fabric takes six hours to make. For context, most high-end fabrics take about 45 minutes. But quality takes time—and we don’t cut corners. It took us five years to get this right because we weren’t willing to settle for anything less than the best. The result? A fast-drying, ultra-breathable, beautifully simple top that performs under pressure and holds up to the toughest workouts. It’s lighter than you’d expect, packs down to nothing, and allows you to move freely—perfect for travel, training, and everything in between. Wear often and use hard.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” –Ferris Bueller In the 80s cinema classic, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, high school senior Ferris stays home “sick” to plan a legendary day off with his friends in downtown Chicago, while being pursued by Principal Rooney. Together, they “borrow” a classic 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder and embark on an audacious tour of the city, challenging authority and bluffing their way through an unconventional day of fun. Welcome to Ruck Club Day Off. For this Callout, you and your team will reenact the “day off” path taken by Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron, but adjusted for your own hometown. The Details Ruck distance: 3 miles minimum. Ideally, you’re looking at something more in the 5-10 mile range with a number of fun places to stop along the way, but do what works best for your city and your crew.

TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB 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. Features Built out of world-class, featherweight ToughMesh™ Small GORUCK spearhead on chest Off-the-shoulder seams for minimal friction when rucking Built in the USA Specs + Materials Charcoal: 80% Nylon, 15% Elastane, 5% Polyester Black & Ranger Green: 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane About ToughMesh™: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci. T’s transition easily from the driveway to the streets to the bar. With and without a ruck on your back. ToughMesh™ weighs only 100GSM (grams per square meter). That’s 30-40% less weight than normal performance fabrics. To make the fabric tough enough, we use nylon (then add a little stretch). The polyester version repeatedly failed our testing and cost us an extra year that we’ll never get back. Every roll of fabric takes 6 hours to complete, using 44 gauge needles. Standard fabric takes 45 minutes and uses 20 gauge needles. Quality takes time. Mini-perforations are woven into the fabric to increase airflow, speed up dry time and decrease weight. They’re small and mighty but do not dominate the aesthetic of the shirt. Antimicrobial treatment is added into the fibers themselves, before the fabric is woven in Italy. This process ensures a significantly longer lifespan of odor resistance across repeated washings. Lesser fabrics are simply “coated” after they’re milled - which wears off in just a few cycles of a high powered washing machine. UPF 35 (this provides 97%+ coverage) to protect your skin from the sun. Off-the-shoulder seams remove friction while wearing a ruck - which we hope you do often.

TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB A featherweight training pullover that excels during a long ruck and your toughest workouts, dries lightning fast to keep you moving.
