Luggage Bags and Packs

Has anyone in the UK bought a Goruck recently? Any hints for navigating the tax/handling charges which will hit? No problem paying for the bag but I have real beef with the ridiculous duty costs. (Yes I've already mailed Goruck themselves and they have no strategy they can offer…)

I can see a "Whats In Your Bag" thread, but no thread just for bags, so…...
I'm having one of these if I have to sell a kidney to get it.
Goruck - Radio Ruck

My new to me bag:
The IHE-01 has replaced my Goruck GR1 as my work bag. The GR1 while very nice is too big for my everyday needs.

I've got the GR1 and my GF has the Echo. They're awesome. I'd like the Radio Ruck as well for one night trips, but I can't justify it really. I'll post pictures soon.

mega why don't you have one already?
goruck bags are great and they are made by great people which makes them all the better
check out gorucknews.com if you need a reason to buy one -
Honestly, I have no idea. This will be remedied very shortly I feel…....GR1 or Radio Ruck, hmmmmm :-\

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?
