Luggage Bags and Packs

Mega - I find the GR1 is perfect for two nights away for work, and a bit underused for one night trips. However, I'm not carrying a laptop these days, just my iPad.
Normal load out is two dress shirts, two t-shirts, wash bag, underwear, ipad in Portenzo case, Midori Traveler's Notebook, a book or two and a few other bits and bobs. Packed neatly, it all fits with some room to spare.
how is this pack for hiking?

Well, the dimensions look good, it can incorporate a hydration bladder, and it has been used by special forces teams in combat, so it should be ok I guess.
Like everything that I like (25oz jeans, heavy flannel and denim shirts, double leather midsole boots for forestry fire fighters) I just love how ridiculously OTT it is. You can get something for a quarter of the price to do the job, but I want something thats still going to be doing the job when I'm not.

I only use it for travel, I'm afraid - I go to London every week for work, one or two nights. For hiking I usually use a North Face or Camelbak bag, depending on what I'm doing. Or an ancient Karrimor.

Looks like the Everlane is holding up well. Still liking it, I gather?

nothing. he lives in the UK and the bag comes from Germany.
you should have that item send to someone within the EU and then forwarded and declared as a lower value (at least that is what I would do).

The bag comes from Montana in the USA Simon, that's where Goruck are based.
No worries man, I'll drop you a PM when it arrives.

Good news - My GR1 arrived today, and it is totally fucking badass, the greatest ruck I have ever owned/ seen/ handled.
Bad news - I'm already fiending for a GR2
