Reviews

New GR3

"I am still trying to decide whether to keep the bag, because I may need a hip belt. That said, the quality of the construction, simplicity of the organization, very sturdy lap top compartment, and available packing space are all just what I was looking for."

Thomas M. (4/5)

Would buy a second one.

"I just recently put to use my GR3 both for short travel and for an unexpected use as a gear bag carrying my electronics, mics and cables to play a show as a drummer. Along with pockets and pouches it all went great. Those 45 L sure go fast and the bag fills up quick. Additional capacity would be appreciated in a larger version."

Rodrigo M. (5/5)

GR3

"Just took a week long trip and this was a perfect fit for one bag travel. Solidly made like all GoRuck bags! Especially like the top pocket for tucking keys, wallet and phone when going thru TSA security. I also have a Rucker 4. 0 for the last 2-1/2 years which I use constistently and shows no wear. Expecting the same from this bag!"

John N. (5/5)

Love this pack , it’s

"Love this pack , it’s what I expected and more !! Tough as nails and can wait to put some miles on it."

Richard V. (5/5)

Good for life!

"A perfect travel match with my GR1. No surprises, nothing fancy, just superior craftsmanship and good for life."

J.R. S. (5/5)

"Huge size! Great for a long trip coming up."

Matt (5/5)

GR3 45L Perfect for business trips

"Hi. This is a great backpack for business trips and travel. I'm not a big fan of traveling with a suitcase, so this backpack is a great alternative: it combines space, comfort and quality. My only gripe is the new zippers on the laptop and glasses compartments—the old ones were better quality and more reliable (AquaGuard zippers do not seem to be very reliable). And one more thing - I like that the strap attachment at the bottom was shifted towards the edges of the backpack."

Chingiz Z. (5/5)

GR3 45L for business trip and travel

"Hi. I don't really like traveling with a suitcase, so I chose this backpack because it's great size, quality, and reliability. It's OK with that. The only thing that bugs me is the patch slot, which is offset by 1. 5 inches."

Chiz (5/5)

Gr3 back pack

"GR3 Ballistic Nylon Cordura back pack is an excellent fit for me and my needs, the quality is superb and btw this is my second pack (a different style) from Goruck, which I Will pass it down to my son, when wearing it the comfort is superb. durability is outstanding . I am looking forward to more purchases in the future."

James P. (5/5)

"This bag is beyond amazing! The level of detail and design are just what I wanted in a lifetime bag! This will make my travels so much better and never have to check a bag, I have begun to collect GORUCK gear exclusively now."
