GORUCK x Carryology Ultra Kaidan GR1 Backpack - 21L

$178.50 $595.00

**An ultra-limited rucking pack inspired by Japanese Kaidan lore**

Back in 2021, GORUCK and Carryology got together and created a 3-piece travel set inspired by Anthony Bourdain, ancient samurai ghost stories (kaidan), and vintage sports cars—a trifecta for the ages, if you ask us. They called it the Kaidan Capsule Collection and, true to form, it sold out in minutes. Now, they’re back at it again with the GORUCK x Carryology Ultra Kaidan GR1 Backpack—the cult-favorite EDC pack upgraded with high-performing Ultra™ 400X fabric from Challenge Sailcloth. Anchored in GORUCK’s bestselling GR1 design and rounded out with special-edition patches by the illustrator of Anthony Bourdain's *Hungry Ghosts*, this 21-liter backpack is overbuilt with features to take you to the ends of the earth and back—and take a helluva beating in the process.

***Limited to one unit per customer, but you can always snag the other bags in the collection***

about
Started by former Special Forces Green Beret and CIA couple Jason and Emily McCarthy in 2008, GoRuck and Huckberry came up together. Their commitment to building rucks of the highest quality grabbed our attention and has sealed our friendship. Over the years we’ve shared in their successes, worked our asses off at GoRuck Challenges, and toasted more than a few Bud heavies as they've shaken up the carry space with their do-it-all, on-grid-off-grid, military-grade rucks and gear. Designed to thrive from conditions in Baghdad to NYC, the versatility, practicality, and mythic durability of GoRuck backpacks and GoRuck gear have launched the brand to cult status within the carry space. Honestly, Cockroaches, Twinkies, and GoRuck would be all that's left were the world to end—the coveted title of GOAT (Greatest of All Time) would go back and forth amongst their lineup of GoRuck bags and other gear until this day comes. The versatility of their military-grade lineup is designed to be put through the wringer in the field while also sailing through everyday use. From weekend rucking (i.e. embracing the suck with a 30 lb plate on your back) to one-bag travel in SE Asia during the rainy season to engaging in go-mode in a bustling city environment—look no further than GoRuck gear to excel at it all and be the last backpack you'll ever want or need.
