One of the fun things about rucking for fitness is just how customizable your rucksack is. Let’s get custom with the best GORUCK Storage Accessories.

GORUCK is a fitness company that made rucking a lifestyle. Rucking is walking with a weighted rucksack and requires strength. Not only you but your gear and equipment too should be strong and tough — be it your rucksack or your storage accessories.

Best GORUCK Storage Accessories for Rucking
That’s the GR1 Field Pocket (grey) and the Wire Dopp Mini (left) and Wire Dopp Standard (right) – all are super-useful! GORUCK Storage Accessories are reliable and durable that give better internal organization for your electronic cables, camera gear, and other equipment while you are on the go. They can be used inside or outside your bag and are used to separate your gear and other items from the main part of your bag.

Here’s the best add-ons and accessories to take your rucking experience to the next level:

GR1 Field Pocket (Black) GR1 Field Pocket. This is made in the USA. It's made from 1000D Cordura - just like your GR1. It is also padded, and has MOLLE so you can mount it inside (or outside) your ruck. Volume is 3L.
Wire Dopp (Black) Wire Dopp - Pack those power bricks, cords, and cables in these. There are two sizes (Mini and Standard) - we recommend the Standard because it has a lot more usable space - that's the size shown here.
Shadow Pocket (Black) The Shadow Pocket comes in three sizes (2L/3L/4L). This is a minimalist solution - NO internal zippers or mesh or padding or MOLLE - just a thin pouch made from 500D Cordura. The upside is it is lighter than the other options and less expensive.

GORUCK Storage Accessories – Overview

GORUCK Storage Accessories are organizing gear that can be used inside and outside your bag. Their primary purpose is to separate your gear and other items from the main part of your bag. They can be attached to the internal MOLLE on GORUCK bags or the external front MOLLE.

These storage accessories have a zipper level in the center of the bottom of the pocket, so when you unlock them, they lay flat, with no side, to provide more room. With these storage accessories, you can also pack not only your electronic cables, camera gear, and other gadgets. You can also use them in packing your clothes, making them perfect for traveling, hiking, or rucking.

GR1 Field Pocket

First up is the GR1 Field Pocket.

GORUCK GR1 Field Pocket USA Review 07
Here’s the GR1 Field Pocket – it’s got MOLLE, 1000D Cordura, 3L of capacity and it is padded (to protect the contents within). Did we forget anything? It’s got hook and loop for a witty patch – of course!

The GR1 Field Pocket is versatile storage that you can use as a Dopp kit or storage for your electronics, camera gear, or with your rucksack for added space and organization.

GORUCK GR1 Field Pocket USA Review 09
There’s two zippered pockets and one un-zippered.

It is made of 1000D Cordura measuring 9” W x 6” H x 2.5” D with a 3L capacity. It can also be used as a survival kit or a toiletries bag, and if you love taking photos, your mirrorless camera will also fit well.

My favorite pastime – weaving MOLLE. There’s a couple different ways to do it – and it’s gonna be secure regardless.

It’s a perfect fit in a GR1 (of course, that is what it is designed for.)

GR2 Field Pocket

The GR2 Field Pocket is bigger than the GR1 measuring 9” W x 8” H x 3” D with a 4L capacity. It is big enough to carry your camera gear. It is also an excellent option to take if you have sensitive gear that you want to protect.

It can hold plenty of stuff, be carried easily, and be taken anywhere. GR2 is also made of 1000D Cordura and has three additional interior pockets to keep you organized.

Wire Dopp

Need to pack your phone and laptop accessories? You need a wire dopp to hold all those cords, cables, connectors, and power bricks.

GORUCK gives us two options – the Wire Dopp Standard and Wire Dopp Mini.

The Wire Dopps comes in mini and standard sizes. The mini measures 4.5″ x 9.75″ and has two zippered storage areas. The standard, on the other hand, measures 8.5″ x 9.5″ and has three zippered storage. Both have a simple folding design with a single buckle closure for a secure hold.

That’s the mini on the left. It’s about 1/2 the size of the Standard. We recommend the Standard for most purposes.

They are made of solid 1000D CORDURA® for robust durability using YKK zippers with color-coded 550 cord pulls for quick, simple access. These Wire Dopps have an inner mesh for content visibility.

Zippered mesh pockets means you don’t lose your gear – and you can see what is where.

Here’s both Dopps with a patch on them. Both are made from 1000D Cordura – which is tough – and heavy.

Shadow Pocket

The Shadow Pocket is made of 500D Cordura and features a smooth design (it is “slick” – meaning no MOLLE). It is a simple way to organize your electronics and camera gear and you can also use it as a Dopp kit.

What’s inside? Nothing! It’s a simple packing solution – nothing fancy.

Packing Cubes

The Packing Cubes are made of light but rugged 200D nylon. When empty, they pack down to nothing, and the zippered mesh compartments open flat so you can pack efficiently and find what you need quickly.
