SURPRISE, KILL & VANISH
Operation Jedburgh
The objective of the Jedburgh teams was to assist allied forces who invaded France in June 1944 via sabotage and guerrilla warfare. They also led local resistance forces in disrupting actions against the Nazis.
The Jedburgh program’s motto, “Surprise, kill, and vanish,” neatly encapsulated its mission to organize, train, and lead French resistance groups against German targets. Their teams parachuted into France to work closely with partisans to sabotage enemy facilities.
The History Behind Jedburgh™ Rucking Boots
PERFORMANCE UPPER
Deception Canvas™
It's not actually canvas. Our new Deception material is recycled polyester woven tight to create a vintage canvas look. It's tougher, dries faster and happens to be eco-friendly.
Deception at play.
NEW // Deception Canvas™ Compared to 12 oz. Cotton Duck Canvas
3X Stronger
Deception Canvas™ is significantly more abrasion resistant than traditional canvas with a much higher tensile strength and three (3) times greater tear strength aka it's made to perform.
Dries 5X Faster
After being submerged in water, traditional canvas takes five (5) times longer to dry and more than doubles in weight. Deception Canvas™ hates water - inherently hydrophobic with a wax finish - and doesn't absorb a drop.
Retains Shape
Just like traditional canvas, Deception Canvas™ develops a rich patina over time and only looks better with age. However, Deception Canvas™ doesn't stretch out and your Jedburgh's will retain their shape no matter how many miles you put under them.
DESIGN ORIGINS
Built on the MACV-1™ Platform
Jedburgh™ Rucking Boots feature an all-new, versatile performance upper on the same solid foundation of our classic rucking boot - MACV-1™.
They both share the same durable, yet lightweight EVA midsole and all-terrain outsole that thrives in all kinds of terrain.

You have 3 arches in your foot... not just one. Support is foundational to all GORUCK footwear and Jedburgh™ Rucking Boots are built to support all three (3) of your arches.
A-B // Anterior Transverse Arch
