I bought my Mrs a leather Tumi backpack which she really liked and used for years. Pretty sure it had a laptop sleeve. Might be worth checking to see if they do a 2 way tote.

@Graeme I can’t find the price on the Goruck collaboration. Any chance I’m missing it or you know what it’s going for?

[Cutlasshound]

@goosehd I could not see it on design article I read the other day.

On the basis the last Carryology x GR1 (Kaidan - X-Pac) I bought was circa $350 incl shipping and their collaborations seem to be getting more expensive (sure the revolting Trakke one was £400 to £500), I am anticipating that this one will be at least $450 for the GR1. It looks very nice and I am sorely tempted, but I will likely tap out if too expensive!

[goosehd]

If the price is too high those are my thoughts as well…

[Cutlasshound]

Shame. I was genuinely excited by it, then it got to the bit in the article about the patch being made by a samurai armourer and I was like (a) Whilst cool, I could live without it and it will go straight in a box, rendering it pointless: and (b) that will massively fuck the price!

[tody]

I have been eying the GR1 for some time. But this is kind of insane... Let's see what happens tomorrow once it drops.

[goosehd]

I have a feeling it’s going to sell out quickly…and I’m contemplating setting an alarm for it.

[Graeme]

I'm curious to see what it's going to cost. But the drop is at 6 am on Friday morning here in Australia, and I'll be on a train until 7:30 with no reception, so it'll probably be sold out by the time I surface.

[mclaincausey]

Gonna be upwards of $700 right?

Sounds cool but sounds really heavy too.

[Sage954]

Really cool collab and details. Sounds $$$. I was guessing higher than 700$ @mclaincausey No more functionality than a regular gr1 and arguably less durable? Is there a secondary market?
Description was a fun read.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah they seem to be setting the stage for eye watering pricing in the copy. I think you’re right the sky is the limit on the price.

[goosehd]

$695 for the 21L plus another $80-100 for shipping. I backed out.

[tody]

@goosehd Same here. I might give it another thinkover when it drops at the French retailer next week, but they already said it will be US retail + EU VAT, so basically the same as now.

[Anesthetist]

I nabbed the 21L version

[goosehd]

I am weak…21L purchased.

[tody]

LOL, I guess I now know what to do next week.

[goosehd]

21L on the Goruck site are sold out. 26L are still available.

[goosehd]

…and 26L sold out.

[tody]

That took half an hour... Thought it'd go much quicker.
Please post your experiences once they arrive.
KEUS will have them on March 1st.

[Anesthetist]

Will do, looking forward to it. I have owned the MR Dragon, Evergoods Phoenix, and now this baddie.
