When robustness and unparalleled performance are features you demand from your bags and accessories, GORUCK are a brand that should be at the forefront of your thinking and, as if to prove this fact, allow us to introduce you to their awesome-looking Kit Bag Heritage Edition. The Kit Bag is a large, sturdy bag that is used by paratroopers to carry their gear when jumping out of planes or helicopters. It has a large opening at the top, which makes it easy to load and unload gear, even when wearing body armour. Special Forces and other units have also adopted the Aviator’s Kit Bag for use as a travel bag, pilot flight bag, and deployment bag.

Priced at $375, the GORUCK Kit Bag Heritage is very much built to last and these 32L Kit Bags are directly 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) so you know there will be more than enough space for all your gear. GORUCK has updated the aviator’s kit bag and added functionality not for jumping out of aeroplanes, but for daily use, travel, and storage. Win, win.

The term Heritage in the context of this classy carry from GORUCK means it’s proven by their grandfathers and their grandfather’s grandfathers. And that it will last the test of time for those generations who come after us. For materials, the team at GORUCK chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Heritage a retro canvas look with the durability you’d expect. It definitely won’t let you down when push comes to shove.

The 32L Kit Bag from GORUCK is as adventure-ready as they come as it is crafted from 10.10 oz Army Duck Waxed Canvas and Martekcin Wax finish, a process proven on waxed canvas backpacks for almost two centuries. It has a wide opening for easy access when packing and travelling, two external pockets, leather handles, a leather bottom, a padded shoulder strap, and three interior zipper pockets or all your everyday carry essentials. Last but not least so far as travellers are concerned, it is TSA carry-on compliant.
