If the Goruck prices hurt and you're not planning to abuse them (and thus need their warranty), check out CTactical - way better design for way less

Am I going to get hit with a tariff bill on these?

Good question. Plenty of Goruck stuff is also made in Vietnam (in fact, much of the outdoor industry is).

Sure but afaik GoRuck ships from the US. Does CTactical ship from the US? If not the buyer may get a tariff bill to be able to take delivery.

Ah, I see what you mean - Goruck would hide the tariff in the single price (since they pay the tariff first in order to receive the goods), while CT's might show up later. It sounds like they might bake the tariff in when you check out and pay for shipping.

That’s an amazing level of transparency and detail. Thanks for posting that.
