Most amazing pack
"I was hesitant about this backpack. It is not cheap but I wanted quality and something that would stand up to repeated use. I could not recommend this more - I use it as a daily ruk, while not fully the intended use it works great. It has been beat up, sweat through countless times, left outside, seen the fun more than it should and has not shown any wear or tear at all. On top of this, after washing it, I use this for my travel bag. It offers numerous pockets for organizing. If you are on the fence about this pack, buy it. You will love it. It will stand r test of time that others promise but this ac to ally delivers."

I'd been wanting a GR2
"I'd been wanting a GR2 ever since I first got my GR1 and found that I needed more space/organization. I moved all my stuff over and started using it as my EDC bag almost immediately after I got it. Since then it's held up extremely well, and I suspect that this is going to last me for the rest of my life."

Amazing but expensive.
"Extremely comfortable. The heaviness of the bag is as advertised. The organization and quality leave nothing to be desired. Only gripe is the cost. Feels like there’s a surcharge for the brand and aesthetic. Other bags perform just as well at a lower weight. But the aesthetic gives me pleasure so I paid up. Only way I could be happier is if I paid $50 less."

Perfect pair for everyday carry and travel
"I own both the GR2 26L and the GR2 40L, and they complement each other perfectly. The 26L is my everyday carry for work, daily use, and shorter trips. I recently bought the 40L for longer one-bag adventures, and after my first test pack, I'm already extremely happy with it. The build quality is outstanding, the design is simple and functional, and these packs truly feel built for a lifetime. Highly recommended! 5/5 stars."

GoRuck is still at the top of their game
"This is my second GR2. My first is the 34L, and I liked the admin section organization so much that, after a thorough search of other contenders in the market, I picked up the 26L to use as a personal item and day bag. I’m using it right now on a trip to Ireland and Scotland, and it’s working perfectly. Once you empty the admin section at your destination and move your day bag items into the main compartment, the pack takes on the shape of the GR2 21L, so it never feels too big to carry around for the day. And of course, the world class comfort of the suspension system and the over engineered durability mean the bag basically disappears from your travel experience. There’s no discomfort pulling your attention, and no worry about the bag holding up. That quality lets you focus on the trip itself, with zero concern that your gear will let you down. That’s the essence of what GoRuck brings to travel. Models that I considered but decided against: Packolab City Carrier 2 ( I had an opportunity to get one), Mission Workshop Rhake, Hill People Gear Conner2, ULA Cicada and Azo Equipment Rabel. All of these models were appealing to me but fell short compared to the GR2."

Good Personal item for air travel
"I bought the GR2 26L primarily to serve as a personal item on U. S. airlines and took it on its first trip this week. It fit well under the seat in front of me in economy class, although obviously taking some leg room. However, in flight, I move the bag toward me and rest my legs on them and extent under the seat. Not exactly comfortable at 6'1" but it does the job I bought it for. I will say that if too much is packed into the second compartment, it pulls away from my body and makes the carry less comfortable (compared to my Rucker 4. 0 20L). I think that I need to experiment with packing to optimize how it carries. Overall, glad I bought this during the Christmas in July sale and I expect the bag will last for decades given its build quality."

Fantastic Travel Bag
"This is an extremely comfortable bag. I did not expect the load distribution to be so ideal out of the box. I love the staggered zipper layout in the first pocket. It helps so if you are in crowded areas with pickpockets you can hold documents and cash in a safe spot by zipping the outside to the bottom right and placing valuables to the left (or vice versa). This bag will most likely outlast my life on Earth. The quality is that remarkable."

"Great quality as always, full 1000d cordura. Perfectly sized for a personal item on almost all airlines. Great addition to my Goruck lineup"

None can compare to GoRuck bags.
"This is an excellent GoRuck bags. I got 34L and 40L both Army Ranger colours. I love both of them. I can fit my hydration bladder in to my bag. This is my go bag when I’m travelling, hiking and biking."
