GoRuck GR1 vs Thule Crossover Backpack 32L

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

I bought this bag to fit a 14" laptop and a 11" Macbook air. The bag worked perfectly for holding those 2 devices, but did not offer enough storage pockets up front for sorting all the small computer parts I have. I ended up returning this bag because the front flap only zips halfway down thus not allowing you to grab things that have fallen to the bottom of the pocket without scraping your hand against everything else that is in there. If they had allowed the flap to 3/4 of the way then I would have kept this bag even with the lack of organization pockets

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...

The backpack is not very large and I am not able to fit very much inside of the backpack, as I use it for school. I can barely fit all of my books and my trapper keeper inside of the backpack, but the quality of the backpack is very good and durable. The backpack is very good overall, excluding my one complaint. I have had the backpack for a few months now and I do not have very much to complain about

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...

Then I realized I could loosen the straps and shift the pack weight to my pelvic bones, as you must when hauling a 40lb backpack through the woods. This is possible due the Crossover's taller-than-deep profile, a la a hiking backpack. Big win. I looked at backpacks for hours since my beloved, ten year old Dakine decided it finally had enough of my abuse

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

Do I recommend this? Yes? Is it comfortable? Yes, I think it's a pretty good balance between something you can use for a city life for a hiking life. ...

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.

Well, I needed something a little more organized for school and um, the straps on this are really nice, the padding and stuff. so I just want to. Um, ...

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

So, along with this strap here with a metal ring to it, which is also adjustable as well. So it's great spot to throw in you know something very quick...
