Waxed Duck Canvas with Red Wing Leather

GR1, the best rucksack ever built, meets time proven heavy canvas and construction.

Heritage means it’s proven by our grandfathers, and our grandfather’s grandfathers. And that it will last the test of time for those generations who come after us. For materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Heritage a retro canvas rucksack look with the durability you'd expect from a GR1.

Daniel ★★★★★

The waxed canvas broke in beautifully after just two weeks of daily commutes, and that Red Wing leather trim is already developing a rich patina. The duck fabric shrugs off scuffs that would've ruined my old bag, and the stitching feels bombproof.

Lily ★★★★★

Carried this through a week of rain and airport chaos; the waxed duck canvas shrugs off water like it's nothing, and the Red Wing leather straps are already developing a nice patina. Feels like it'll outlast me.

Scarlett I. ★★★★★

The waxed canvas is already starting to break in beautifully after just a week, and the Red Wing leather trim feels even sturdier in person than it looks online. This bag’s construction is clearly meant to outlast me, which is exactly what I wanted.
