Fall is here, and with it comes the perfect rucking season. The cool air and changing colors make every mile a little more enjoyable—but fall weather can be unpredictable. From chilly mornings to warm afternoons and sudden rain showers, you need gear that adapts to it all. GORUCK has you covered with the essential pieces: Simple Pants, Grid Fleece Zip Top, and Merino Wool Socks.
Simple Pants: Built Tough for Any Terrain
When it comes to rucking in fall weather, you need pants that are durable, comfortable, and versatile. Enter the Simple Pants, in both lightweight and midweight options. Designed for ultimate functionality, these pants are made from a durable, lightweight fabric that stands up to rough trails, rocky terrain, and unexpected weather. The streamlined design offers a classic fit with enough stretch to move freely, making them ideal for long miles under a loaded ruck.
Simple Pants are water-resistant and quick-drying, which means you don’t have to worry about getting caught in a drizzle or navigating through morning dew. Plus, the reinforced pockets are perfect for stashing an energy bar.
Grid Fleece Zip Top: Lightweight Warmth with Breathability
Fall weather can be a mixed bag—cool in the morning and warm by midday. The Men's or Women's Grid Fleece Zip Top is the perfect mid-layer to handle these temperature swings. Layer it over a ToughMesh tee and you are ready for any weather.Â
Its lightweight, grid fleece fabric traps heat close to your body without weighing you down, providing the warmth you need as you start your ruck. This top isn’t just warm; it’s breathable too. The grid pattern ensures you won’t overheat during those uphill pushes. It’s versatile, packable, and easy to stow away in your ruck when not needed, making it a must-have for fall rucking.
Merino Wool Socks: Stay Warm, Dry, and Comfortable
Merino Wool Socks are the ultimate choice for fall weather. As temperatures fluctuate throughout the day, merino wool naturally regulates your foot temperature, keeping you warm when it’s cool and preventing overheating when it’s warm. The material is moisture-wicking and quick-drying, which helps keep your feet dry even if you encounter unexpected rain or wet trails.
Merino wool is also naturally odor-resistant, so you can push hard on your ruck without worrying about unpleasant smells. Pair these socks with your favorite MACV boots or Mackall hiking shoes for a combination that will keep your feet comfortable mile after mile.
