GoRuck GR1 vs REI Co-op Ruckpack 40 Recycled Pack - Men's

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...

Sadly, the new version is about 2/3 the size. I can barely fit my ski boots in let alone anything else. Nice quality and looks like it has some good features, but just not big enough.

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...

A lot of the problems are related to weight savings, which makes sense for a hiking like day pack.

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

- Good overall comfort. I wasn't able to load the bag all the way, but the chest and hip straps provided good support. I really did like the spacing on my back. It helped to keep my back cool

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.

) There is just a bit of space, enough to let some air flow between the pack and your back. Now to the negative. The torso straps are huge, way longer than needed. Granted I'm on the skinnier side, but I had to adjust them all the way down and now there is about a foot of extra strap hanging on both sides

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

and then the pocket on the other side just opens up. It has a small mesh separator and you can actually access the inside of the bag from that pocket....
