GoRuck GR1 vs Osprey Airporter LZ Pack Duffel - Large

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 got the medium to use with my Osprey Exos 58, and Osprey Aether 70, and they both fit fairly well. The Exos leaves quite a bit of room at the top, but I usually stuff that with outerwear and boots. The Aether fits like a glove, but also has enough room to fit a pair of boots. Now, the reason for 3 stars here

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...

That said, when I take it hiking this summer, I think it will "absorb" my rolled up inflatable mattress quite nicely, in which case it will end up being perfectly sized. But just for the pack alone, it was "sloshing around" inside of it quite a bit. Which leads to minor issue #2, which is that this thing is awkward as heck to carry with a full pack inside of it. Slinging it over your shoulder is worthless: It will bang around your knees

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

I then ordered the small and it fit like a glove (with the daypack top attachment removed). The size ratings on these need to be adjusted, but very happy with the product. I went from Philadelphia to Austin, Austin to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to Jacksonville and Jacksonville back to Philadelphia and it held up without a hitch. I hope this helps so you don’t have to order all three to find the perfect fit like I had to

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.

The reason I gave it three stars is because of the way it carries. the handles are good for moving the bag short distances but they dug into my hand with nearly 30lbs in the pack. The WORST part of the pack that i absolutely hated is the terrible shoulder strap. There is no way to position the strap to be comfortable
