Not a comfortable pack even for EDC loads
"I love the layout, capacity, slimness, light weight (670g) and the versatility. Basically everything except the comfort, which was very poor on my frame (average height male, muscular) and I suspect it's due to the change to how to straps attach to the bag which removes any articulation (note that the product photos still show the decade-old 1000D shadow rucks that do have articulation). The straps just cut through my traps no matter how I wear it even with light EDC loads causing numbness and even headaches—not something I've experienced with any other bag (I've tried quite a few brands). It's a shame because the amount of padding is great, the ergonomics are just lacking. I had one visible sewing issue on my copy, but it seemed to be just cosmetic, and I bought mine at $85 so not complaining. Decent bag and good for the price I paid but please update your product photos!"

Shadow ruck
"Great! Roomy! Use it to bring water bottles, gymnastic rings, bands, towels etc to the outdoor park. Also allows me to keep my personal items safely. Comfortable. The straps are wonderful. Enough space to add some groceries on way back! Witg the stuff I put in, works as a light rucking piece of equipment"

Almost Perfect
"Previous Bullet Laptop owner here. This bag is almost everything I wanted in an EDC bag. GR1 style, 500D, and incredibly comfortable shoulder straps (though I wish these kept the molle). True perfection would be external water bottle pockets! (Yes I know that's not the Goruck aesthetic) and internal molle (a pipe dream at this price point, I recognize). This bad is definitely The Way"

ONE BAG FOR EVERYTHING!
"I needed a more streamlined "One Bag for Everything" as I have been travelling for work living out of a bag for the next several weeks doing some quality control inspections for different companies and brands. This bag met all of my personal criteria for durability, simplicity, space, comfortability, and adaptability for both flying as a personal item, EDC bag, and going to office bag as well. It fits a week's worth of clothing (5 boxers, 5 socks, set of casual pants for the office and formal events, 2 button ups, 2 t-shirts, shorts for the gym/pool, etc. ), my 14" laptop, all my electronics, and a small tool bag for inspections on products."

Lightweight Companion
"Haven't used it yet. I think it will fill an important niche among my other GoRuck bags. Smaller, lighter, easy to pack to bring along."

Much nicer than expected. Even
"Much nicer than expected. Even though it is lighter weight than any other pack I have owned from go ruck, it is more rugged than any other brand pack I have owned or used. Great value, and a nice addition to the arsenal."

Great supplementary or extra pack
"Great product. This is advertised. It is a backpack without a frame insert. If you are hoping for a GR1 or a Bullet, this is not it. If you partially load it up with heavy items it will not hold its shape and may sag in weird ways. All that said, great pack for the gym, vehicle trunk organizer, light items like clothes/shoes, and so on."

"Great pack for short trips. Lightweight, packable, and folds away easily when not in use. Fits all the essentials comfortably."
