Customer Service
I haven’t used their customer service department, because I haven’t needed to!
Justification:
Through several purchases and events I haven’t needed to return anything or otherwise use the customer service department.
Company Website
Navigation
Clear & Easy to Understand
Justification:
I am a big fan of their website. It is easy to navigate, the pages are clean and the message is clear.
Product Warranty
All GORUCK built gear, apparel, and footwear — everything we manufacture — comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee. If there is a defect in workmanship or materials or if you actually manage to wear our stuff out, GORUCK will fix or replace (at our discretion) your item, free of charge. No receipt necessary — we can recognize our own stuff — and your date of purchase does not matter. Hence lifetime.
Justification:
I have not had to use the warranty, but with a lifetime warranty you can’t go wrong.
Products
American Made
Quality
Price
Justification:
Many of their products are made in the U.S.A. and are of very high quality. That being said, they are not cheap but not terribly over priced either.
USA Built gear, apparel, and footwear. Tested in the field. I dropped the rating due to price.
Additional Comments
I personally have participated in their events and regularly use the Rucker as my primary pack for rucking along with their ruck plates.
I have completed a light challenge and registered for several other events including a star course, scavenger, and Constellation.
