That’s right, we Americans are willing to cross a frozen river on Christmas to come get you. And yes, it’s time to earn your annual Polar Plunge patch just like our nation’s founders did 250 years ago.

As we embark on America’s 250th anniversary, we think back to that frigid night of December 25, 1776 when General George Washington led ~2,400 Continental Army troops across the icy, storm-swept Delaware River to execute a surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. This daring crossing was a critical maneuver after a series of defeats, intended to boost sagging American morale with a much-needed victory. Despite delays and a blizzard, they successfully reached Trenton, launching an attack that resulted in a decisive American victory with minimal casualties.

Take your ruck crew for a few miles and a dip in cold water to remember the hearty spirit of our forebears. Ruck distance: Do your plunge, do some PT and ruck 3-5 miles to warm yourself up. Hot cocoa or coffee at the finish! (For those in warmer climates, be creative. We know you will!) Bonus #coolpoints for those who submerge all the way in icy water.

The Details:
  • Distance: 3-5 miles
  • Weight: Rucker's choice
  • Optional: Throw in a few sets of PT to warm up after your plunge.

Highest Quality Patch To Date

"These is a beautiful patch! Super fine detail, expertly woven, not stitched. AND I earned it in conjunction with the Jeff Bridges 12 mile ruck training course. I'm still sore. Feels good to have earned this scar."

Brandon F. (5/5)

The most American patch you can own

"I only did a polar plunge because I wanted this patch. Good quality. Lots of compliments."

Jimmy S. (5/5)

Great design, very clean detail

"VERY impressive patch. My only compliant is these didn't go on sale in time for delivery by January 1st ---the traditional New Year's Day Polar Bear Plunge date. As it is, I have to mail them to our participating club members."
