Pros
- GoRuck GR1 21L (just used on a 2 day trip)
- The GR1 21l might be your prefect pack, but it is pricey.
- All GORUCK packs have the same straps - very thick and durable. I have the GR1 21L and use it as an EDC. There’s multiple sizes and colors and you really can’t go wrong with any of them.
- I personally love organisation of this backpack, perfect volume (around 20L) for EDC and very handy organisation like: * big front pocket * small top access pocket for keys, glasses, ... (only some versions unfortunately) * 2 medium inn...
- If you want to go deep into the pouch life, Goruck GR1 21L for a traditional backpack clamshell or the M23, a top loader with side access which carries way way above its class is a cool bag as well.
Cons
- Love the look and durability, and my packing cubes fit perfectly. Downsides: no bottle holder, a bit heavy, and could maybe run hot on the back.
- I have a Goruck GR1 21l, but it’s unpleasant and sweaty to carry
- Goruck GR1 21L = 2.8 LBS ... those savings aren’t worth sacrificing flexibility in case you need to pick something up along the way.
- I don’t have a GoRuck Kit Bag but I do have a GR1 21L.
- I just got a GORUCK GR1 21L for ~$340. It was super well made and I am sure it’d be working fine for years. However, after I tried using it for commute and day trips for about a month, I could not say it worth the price: 1. the harness s...

I just got a GORUCK GR1 21L for ~$340. It was super well made and I am sure it’d be working fine for years. However, after I tried using it for commute and day trips for about a month, I could not say it worth the price: 1. the harness system is not great at all even with the thick, beefy straps. The bag does not help transfer any weight to hip but completely to shoulders which made my shoulder sore after half day carry.
