    @RobeOfTheMagi said in Luggage Bags and Packs:

    Thank you Greame!

    Can any owners of GORUCK bags share their experience with the product? It really is a lot of money for an edc-bag in case of the GR1. I understand they use premium materials like 1000den Cordura (which was also used with my 120€ very old Bach Wizard).

    I’ve had the 21L(?) GR1 for about seven years. I use it a lot and it shows hardly any signs of wear apart from a little fading from sun exposure. As others have said, the features are fairly minimal but they are really well thought out. My only gripe is that there isn’t an external water bottle holder built in. I have the Goruck MOLLE water bottle pocket attachment but to be honest I find it annoying to fit and generally don’t bother with it. More importantly, you can get three 500ml beer bottles in the internal laptop sleeve!

    It is super comfortable when heavily loaded, did I mention beer bottles? If I go on holiday I always aim to take it as my only piece of luggage.

    Yes, it’s pricey, especially as an import, but “the quality remains when the price is forgotten”!

        Got that GR1 in the mail. Loving the bag! Might pick up a field pocket in black whenever they become available again. My only real issue with the bag is I wish it had small side pockets on the outside, instead of the side molle straps. This bag replaced a made in USA Topo Designs cordura bag that I had, and I had gotten so used to the side pockets for a phone/pen/knife. Not a total dealbreaker, but just missing that.

        Also trying to find some good velcro patches. None of the ones I'm really seeing online are my vibe. Any suggestions on where to get some good ones?

          Buy one of these and apply velcro to the reverse. That's what I'm going to do......

                Google:
                What is the purpose of a morale patch?
                A morale patch is a military ornamental insignia with humorous images and expressions. They can be used as identification with a particular unit, such as a division or brigade, and are designed to build an esprit de corps with military personnel.

                    @chrisjohnnick brings to mind the flag of Thailand, which is apt considering their affinity for selvedge denim.

                      Yea, these days In civilian circles, "morale patch" typically just refers to patches with velcro backing. I’ve found it challenging to find designs that aren’t overly political, heavily geared toward gun enthusiasts/militia types, or filled with immature slogans or phrases. So decided to make my own subtle "iykyk" one.

                      @Giles I may have enough to make one more if ya need one! If not XHS, I know I've got some 21oz and 17oz floating around.

                        @T4920 Hadn't noticed that! I kept thinking of the Chicago flag (minus the stars) while making it.

                          That’s amazing work.

                          Agreed most patches are too tryhard wannabe GI Joe or something egregious like a totenkopf. This makes a statement, bucks the tacti-cool poseurhood, and looks great. Bravo!

                          Think it, be it.

                            That is very kind. But we can make them here.

                            Mind if we steal your design for RELOVE patches?

                                Morale is much less cumbersome 🙂

                                  Need some advice from the bag gurus on here, please..

                                  I need a daily bag that I can take to the office with me. Needs to fit a laptop, a water bottle, packed lunch in a tupperware and have space for various other things too (little bit of last minute shopping, or gym clothes, for eg). I don't want a back pack. I usually just use a canvas tote, but getting annoyed with my lunch dripping onto my laptop, for example, so I guess it needs to have at least one compartment, and perhaps a flat bottom

                                          Bagjack is terrific. The one I thought of was this one:

                                          https://www.bagjackshop.com/en/nxl-lines/nxl-black-line/nxl-messenger-m-black_448_1046

                                          They often have tarpaulin inserts for the main compartment so you could have lunch spill and just wash it out, and a separate laptop sleeve so it would be unimpacted.

                                          I have a few of their products by way of Acronym collabs. The Acronym 3A-1 is pretty great but the current materials are a little too much for me visually speaking. But it’s like the ultimate ergonomic bag.

                                          Think it, be it.
