GoRuck GR1 vs Granite Gear Crown2

And then they went to a naming convention where the Gr1 now has two sizes, the 21 liter and the 26 liters. So so what I'm gonna cover today for the Gr...

I really tried to like this pack but it just didn't quite fit right. Even though I measured myself the pack felt too short and put too much pressure on the shoulders. It seems like a lot of the weight sinks down into the pack and negates the weight savings from the pack. Another thing that didn't quite work was that the snap points for the brain bag was too high to when the rest of the pack was condensed, it just kind of flopped around

Because it's designed to double as a rucking bag, the Jr1 boasts some of the beefiest straps you'll find on a backpack. Where most packs typically com...

I will say if you’re the type who likes to hike without a shirt, I wouldn’t recommend it with this pack. Without a frame and net to keep the physical pack off your back, the bag will end up rubbing your low back and cause chaffing.. Also if you sweat a lot, as I did on my thru hike of the AT, your sweat will seep through the bag because the plastic back support insert has holes in it (to save weight presumably) and condensation will build between the inside of your bag and your weatherproof pack liner (construction grade contractor trash bag)

It just screams “chic”! This is also very comfortable when worn, as the shoulder straps and back of the bag are very well-padded. • Durability: As noted, this is well-padded and made of a solid polyester fabric material. As I intend to wear this for walks to/from the office and daytrips, I believe this should hold up just fine. In summary, I love the color and comfort

but as it turns out, I haven't had any problems with them. They've been great. So down here with the hip belt. uh, we've got decent amount of padding ...

I imagine the carabiner on the right shoulder strap could come in handy to secure it to a chair or stroller when out in public and not wearing it on my back.

Lets see if it will back it through the summer. The breast strap is difficult to clip and require exact alignment to close. Top bag pocket falls over the back of the pack when the pack is not completely full.

Water resistant material, great ergonomics and spaces/pockets inside. Feels good on the back too. Best money I've ever spent on a bag.

simply can't slip down under those circumstances). The two zippered side pockets are indeed roomy. Plenty of storage capacity in the "cap" pouch and the big mesh sleeve on the pack
