Reviews

Amazing but expensive.

"Extremely comfortable. The heaviness of the bag is as advertised. The organization and quality leave nothing to be desired. Only gripe is the cost. Feels like there’s a surcharge for the brand and aesthetic. Other bags perform just as well at a lower weight. But the aesthetic gives me pleasure so I paid up. Only way I could be happier is if I paid $50 less."

— Daniel J. (4/5)

Perfect pair for everyday carry and travel

"I own both the GR2 26L and the GR2 40L, and they complement each other perfectly. The 26L is my everyday carry for work, daily use, and shorter trips. I recently bought the 40L for longer one-bag adventures, and after my first test pack, I'm already extremely happy with it. The build quality is outstanding, the design is simple and functional, and these packs truly feel built for a lifetime. Highly recommended! 5/5 stars."

— Chris (5/5)

Fantastic Travel Bag

"This is an extremely comfortable bag. I did not expect the load distribution to be so ideal out of the box. I love the staggered zipper layout in the first pocket. It helps so if you are in crowded areas with pickpockets you can hold documents and cash in a safe spot by zipping the outside to the bottom right and placing valuables to the left (or vice versa). This bag will most likely outlast my life on Earth. The quality is that remarkable."

— Kevin C. (5/5)

"Great quality as always, full 1000d cordura. Perfectly sized for a personal item on almost all airlines. Great addition to my Goruck lineup"

— Brandon (5/5)

None can compare to GoRuck bags.

"This is an excellent GoRuck bags. I got 34L and 40L both Army Ranger colours. I love both of them. I can fit my hydration bladder in to my bag. This is my go bag when I’m travelling, hiking and biking."

— Ounkham M. (5/5)

Design miss on side with padded handles like the top

"Just put this to work on a business / personal trip to Europe for a week. Overall great travel backpack. I would of rated 5 stars for quality, design, etc. with the one exception that they missed 2 padded side handles like they did with the G3."

— Pete W. (4/5)

Beach-bound from the Centurion Lounge

"Not quite “single-bag travel” since I also took the 2-compartment laptop bullet, but I greatly appreciated and benefited from the GR2’s capacity and organization features. It was far lighter to carry than I expected; however a backpack can be challenging when you’ve spent too much time under the sun! Not an issue when gate agents were pressuring passengers to check carry-ons at no cost (thank you (not!) Aeromexico). Might permanently switch from trolleys to the GR2 after I have this one customized, and might purchase a larger one too!"

— Roy (5/5)

Great bag. Hoping for easier/better zippers.

"I am hoping the zippers are much easier to open than on my waterproof GR2. Honestly, I didn’t really want to buy another one but the zippers are so tough on the waterproof GR2, it makes it painful for every day use. Other than that, the bag is fantastic. Big fan. I gave it to my son for a trip to Japan and he absolutely loved it. It’s a great bag. Well done."

— James P. (5/5)

Exceptional Quality GR2

"Quality gear as always. Under promise, over deliver. The GR2 is functionally brilliant. Pockets where they should be, zippers that don’t break. Easy access to all spaces. Beyond durable, it’s engineered to last. It’s not cheap. But it will last. But once cry once but you’ll be grateful you did. K. D. Class 45"

— Kip D. (5/5)

Love from S. Korea

"It is a great bag. I love it right away. It took about two weeks to get it in South Korea. That was the only hard part. I looking forward to many memories with GR2 bags. I am sure it will last forever."

— Wonki P. (5/5)
