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?
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?

Nice Mega!
If you don't mind sharing, can you shoot me a pm after it lands of how much you get nailed on tax/fees? It's the only thing putting me off.

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.

You are gonna love it. The build quality is tremendous. I have a GR1 and I see a GR2 in my future great products!!!

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

if anyone travels alot i seriously recommend the Rimowa line of bags.
they're expensive as shit, but they have a liftime warranty I believe.
I have a friend who has a luggage store, so I do some work for him, and I have the top of the line plastic one, I wish I had gotten the one with the metal corners, but whatever, if I break another one of these (I cracked one already after a year of travel but they replaced it without question) I'll go for the metal cornered bag. It keeps shirts folded in the lock down system, it is light, the wheels roll like none other, and in the USA nobody else has them so it's easy to find your bag on the claim!
I travel all the time, and after using Patagonia bags for a decade I'm happy I made the switch! Patagonia bags are great too, and they don't ask any questions about replacing them either.
I'm working to get a Rimowa Camera bag collaboration going on, I hope to get the aluminum one made into my camera bag free of charge! we'll see if that happens hahah.

The Rimowa bags look nice, but I've got an aversion to luggage with wheels on it.
I'd be more inclined to get something like the Hard Graft Carry On.
Another carry on bag which looks fantastic is the De Bruir Parachuter.
