After two and a half years of relentless development, countless prototypes, meticulous sourcing, and rigorous testing, the much-anticipated third instalment of the GRXC program has finally arrived—and trust us, it’s been worth the wait. This isn’t just another project; it’s a full-blown odyssey that’s seen the blood, sweat, and tears of over 30 dedicated individuals who’ve poured their hearts into making it a reality. What began as a straightforward mission to craft a GR1 soon spiralled into something far grander. As the process unfolded, it became clear that this project deserved more than just a single bag—it called for a full-fledged collection.
The result? A versatile travel capsule that’s as at home on a scenic road trip through Denmark’s rolling hills as it is braving the icy winds of a longboat ride through Trondheim’s fjord. And for the first time, the GRXC program isn’t just about one product—it’s about six. Five are ready to go, with the final piece set to drop in early 2025. Inspired by the fearsome axe-wielding Norse warriors of old, the guys at Goruck ar stoked to introduce the GORUCK x Carryology GRXC3 Berserker Viking Collection. It’s not just gear; it’s a tribute to the spirit of the Vikings, reimagined for the modern adventurer. Check out the best bits from this epic collection below:

GORUCK X CARRYOLOGY BERSERKER VIKING MACV TRAVELER BOOTS
The GORUCK MACV boots, originally built for intense adventure, training, and events, have been refined in the GRXC3 edition ($175) for modern travel and exploration. We’ve eliminated drainage holes to keep your feet warm and dry in urban settings, while a waterproof synthetic gusset on the tongue enhances water resistance. Crafted from water-resistant leather, these boots handle deep puddles with ease. We’ve updated the look with a classic workwear aesthetic, adding a toe cap and heel counter, and minimized stitching to reduce potential water entry. A leather finger pull loop on the back stay ensures easy on-and-off functionality.
