Just completed LVL II Skogg test  2.5 min of snatches with each arm was tougher then I anticipated. My arms are pretty dead right now.

How long did it take some of you folks to receive your gear from the goruck site?

[jacoavlu]

like a week? pretty sure i've always got a ship notice after a few days
not some sort of a preorder situation? I think they've done that in the past with short run colors and stuff.

[llvlaglne]

Just wondering. No special colors, just standard black on both the gr2 and brick bag. Thanks jaco

06/11/2013 - Ordered my gear

06/19/2013 - received tracking number

06/26/2013 - arrival

Excited to receive the new gear but its  two days too late for me to use on my next adventure. Disappointed… I know they had received a ton of orders for the new color ways on their products but not sure how my order fell through the cracks

[derivative666]

Shocked usually get my stuff in one week from order date without expedited shipping. They ship from West coast and I live in the east coast.

I was a little surprised they're shipping from Washington myself. I guess I'll have to wait it out and plan an outing to test the new goods. I know I'll be impressed with its quality….  I'm just frustrated with the length of time it will take to get to my doorstep

product is outstanding i have a GR1 & GR2 and both are the best bags I own. I have owned some top notch bags Arc'Teryx, Gregory, Osprey etc… And unless I'm thru hiking a goruck is coming with me.

[llvlaglne]

Yeah your review on your gr1 helped me pull the trigger on my gr2. It's going to be my carry-on bag, hiking,  and work bag. Depending on the location of the event, I hope to be joining your boys in one of the Goruck challenges

[derivative666]

Glad I could be of assistance. Z is bringing my GR2 to Peru before he decided which bag to order. You can't go wrong with either one. I sound like such a fanboy.
