GoRuck GR1 vs The North Face Kaban

This backpack by Osprey is very well made but keep in mind this is a laptop backpack. It’s not going to take a lot and I am quite disappointed with the size. It’s long but thin. Zipper doesn’t go all around because of the bottle pocket will not allow for this

Have a look: it's just one big empty, empty storage component. There yeah there's really no other internal organization here, but what's really good t...

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...

Hard to say it's not quite big enough to fit a well, at least not any modern-day cellphones in there. Maybe an old flip phone can fit in there. And it...

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...

Of course you get the sternum strap right here. Most people don't use that and they're walking in at cities, but you have that. You're hiking in the m...

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

This backpack is far more comfortable. It is an attractive, low profile pack and a fraction of the price a leather pack would be. The pack is comfortable to wear. My laptop has 15" screen and it comfortably and securely fits

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 webbing is a little bit skinnier too,, which matches a bag of this size. You Really don't need a ton to keep that sternum strap on and intact on y...

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

[This is a good of the older one. * 26L, large bucket opening, half clamshell 2nd pocket, water bottle holders on both sides and a 3rd external pocket for quick access. * Outside is made of same material as North Face Base Camp Duffels, so durable but not quite as ugly as the Patagonia black hole stuff
