Taylor Stitch and GORUCK have partnered up to create the perfect gear for adventuring off the beaten path. The Hard Road Loadout has everything that you need for your outdoor journeys.
Introducing the Hard Road Loadout—the special collaboration between Taylor Stitch and Jason and Emily McCarthy of GORUCK. This capsule brings you all the necessary gear to get out into nature and explore the less trodden paths.
Jason and Emily’s message of “doing hard things” and their unwillingness to compromise on the quality of their products made coming together on a collaboration capsule with Taylor Stitch an easy decision.
So they put their heads together on a run of limited edition gear specifically designed to get outside and take the rougher road. That can mean choosing a hardscrabble climb over a tamer hiking path, getting outside for a ruck, or taking the stairs instead of the escalator because, at the heart of the GORUCK initiative, it’s simply about doing that little bit extra whenever you can.
Everything in The Hard Road Loadout collection is designed to perform under pressure and withstand years of abuse (and stand up to the occasional misogi) so you can stay focused on the goal at hand, namely, doing hard things.
Here’s our round-up of The Hard Road Loadout Collection.
The GR1 USA Pack in Raindrop Camo Ripstop WashWax ($550)

For those who know GORUCK, the GR1 needs no introduction. It’s an overbuilt workhorse of a backpack featuring bomb-proof laptop protection, meticulously dialed-in ergonomics, and a slew of functional pockets and features. Built in the USA and field tested by US Special Forces, the GR1 is about as badass as a backpack can get. So with this limited edition model from Taylor Stitch’s GORUCK collaboration, they simply added their own flavors to a winning recipe by using 100% organic cotton waxed canvas from our buddies at Halley Stevensons and finishing it in Taylor Stitch’s iconic Raindrop Camo colorway.
Because if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it; and the GR1 doesn’t break easy.

The Deploy Packable Shell in Dark Navy ($198)

In California, everyone is advised to have an earthquake kit on hand, so Taylor Stitch knows a thing or two about being prepared, and having served in the US Special Forces, GORUCK co-founder Jason McCarthy knows a thing or two about having the right gear on hand as well. So together, they designed the Deploy Packable Shell, your own personal rough-weather emergency kit. It’s small enough to disappear in a backpack, durable enough to beat back the nastiest of forecasts, and with hand warmer pockets and durable YKK zipper, it’s plenty functional too.
