WHEN STRONG PROFESSIONALS DEMAND ASYMMETRICAL CARRIES

Rucksacks offer two straps aka a symmetrical carry. But, when professionals want to look professional and mix it up – they can get a strong core and lower back from doing asymmetrical carries or suitcase carries all around town (to get your second #75HARD workout of the day in). The GORUCK Shoulder bag beats out your standard shoulder bag as it’s tough enough for the boardroom to the subway and even to the workout (throw in 60 lbs of rocks and sand in it, or whatever other madness you can come up with).

We know, you’re probably going to use this for your laptop and work gear. That counts as weight too. Use it to commute or work on the go and look good doing it. #GETSOME

FABRIC DETAILS: WAXED DUCK CANVAS

The use of 10.10oz Army Duck Canvas can be traced back all the way to the mid-19th century. Army Duck canvas is a medium-weight, versatile fabric. The way that it is constructed is with an incredibly tight weave of the yarn, making it tough and resistant to tearing. The extra layer of wax protects the fabric from different elements you may encounter, and makes the fabric waterproof, yet allows it to sweat vapor and still not stiffen or yellow over time. It only looks better with age and use.

Andrew U. ★★★★★

The asymmetrical carry is what sold me, and after a month of daily use I’m still impressed with how the strap balances the load without digging into my shoulder. The waxed canvas has already started to develop that nice, worn-in texture that makes it look better every time I wear it.

Miles F. ★★★★★

Carried this every day for two weeks through rain and commutes, and the waxed canvas has that broken-in feel already while still holding its shape. The single asymmetric strap sits way more comfortably than I expected—no constant readjusting even with a laptop in it.

Charlotte J. ★★★★★

The waxed canvas has that rugged feel I was hoping for, and the bag keeps its shape even when I toss it around. The single-strap design takes a bit of getting used to, but once I adjusted it, it sits comfortably against my hip all day.
