Yes!  OG power rangers is the shit. Pretty much my favorite things when I was a kid. Karate, dinosaurs and robots.

Vintage Orient, for that cool 70's vibe.

Goruck GR1, when absolutely, positively have to carry every last motherfucking item to work with you every day, accept no substitute.

Mega, after you've had a little time with it, I'd love to hear a review of the GR1.

[tmg]

I'll second that, I'm seriously considering one too (would also be interested to know how much you got stung for import duty)

3rd the long term abuse review :). #happydays.

Wonder if they need their own thread? Think this is the first of many ;).

[jacoavlu]

there are more reviews of their bags already online than you could read in a week and done by people that have put them through far more abuse than any of us will

I have a GR1 and GR1 Field I have used many packs in my day Gregory, Osprey, Arc'Teryx etc…  I believe this is the perfect day pack whether your hitting the trails or pounding the pavement this pack can do everything. The back compartment houses a 3L hydration bladder or 17" MacBook Pro.  Inside their is plenty of pockets for storage. & Molle webbing to attach things including GR1 Field.

GR1 Field is a perfect gadget holder for handheld game devices, toiletries or 1st aid kit, compass etc...

IMO it doesn't get any better than GORUCK. I see a GR2 and Brick Bag in my future. When I go out for multi day hikes and camping.

d666, that is simultaneously what I had hoped to hear, but also feared the most. Meaning, I need at least one of these by camping season. I go back and forth between the GR1 and GR2. I know that I would use the GR1 more, as it's more versatile; but the GR2 is best for, as you said, multi-day hikes. It's a great problem to have, but a problem, nonetheless.

If I could do it all over again i would get a GR2 (Java), GR2 Field and Brick Bag for sleeping bag

[seanocono]

I appreciate your thoughts, d666. The Java must have been a relatively new release. I don't remember seeing it last time I was on the site. It is already sold out, though (GR2). I actually like the Coyote color, as well.

I used my GR1 as both hand luggage and a daypack whilst travelling to, and in Jakarta. As hand luggage I completely rammed it, as I didn't want to put any of my precious or delicate things into my case, so it held…..

• Macbook Pro
• Macbook Pro Carry Case
• Macbook Pro Charger
• Camera
• Camera Charger
• IH-GT
• GR- TAC Hat
• Spare underwear and socks
• IHSH-61

• Money
• My HWDC Notebook
• Spare locks, keys, pens, coins
• My massive hypocondriac health kit (pain killers, anti-inflammatories, anti-diahorrea, multi vitamins, allergy pills, asprin)

It was pretty full, and really heavy, but not at all uncomfortable, and it NEVER slipped from my shoulders. The strap design is one of the best design features, no need at all for additional fastenings or straps.

^THAT I would love to see a picture of!

TAC Hat lol? I couldn't resist either. Goruck has become one of my new favorite brands. Everything they make is truly outstanding.

TAC HAT

Nice. I bought one of these and really liked it but unfortunately had to return it. Not a good fit for my small head.

i have become obsessed with GORUCK
