      Mega, for a school bag don't get something that's going to make Tommy the target for attacks having a weird bag. School kids will pick the smallest thing to pay someone out over. Quite generally if it's Dad making the decisions the ribbing is twice as bad…..

        Now it's been a few months since there was a few GoRuck purchases, how are all y'all finding them?

        I'm interested in their usage as travel/day packs, more so than commuter. One of the reviews (http://brooksreview.net/2012/12/gr1/) and Todd's concerns earlier was that due to not being top-loading it's a pain for travel. What does Real World ™ have to say?

        Thanks in advance.

          Don't worry about that Snow Man, Tommy makes all his own decisions on clothes and accessories and he isn't the kind of kid/ it isn't the kind of school where bullying is much of an issue. Tommy is generally quite popular at school, so it has never really been an issue for him luckily, I had to get by with being a foot taller than anyone else, and a punch first ask questions later kind of guy ha ha…..but that was a different time.

            I use my GR1 every day, it's a great pack, easily the best I have owned and I have owned a LOT of packs. If anything I probably don't abuse it as much as such a hefty purchase warrants though, but I am happy that I have a pack which will probably last me 10 years should I want it to.

            Loading isn't an issue, the zips go full length so just unzip it as much as you need to really. I have travelled with it quite a bit this year and it's been a great companion bag for me, apart from attracting some unwanted attention at Jakarta Airport for its "America" flag.

              Hi Mega, worries utterly cast aside, thanks for addressing. Great to hear Tommy's as popular with his peers as he is with all of us (including those who've never met the guy).

              Thanks for the GR1 feedback. Great to hear real-world the front loading isn't an issue.

                            Picked up a small field bag from Archival Clothing a few weeks ago, and I'm really liking it so far.  Brass hardware, taped seams, Horween leather, heavy duty zipper, awesome strap, and some 22oz duck.  This bag hits all the right notes in terms of construction.  It definitely feels over engineered, and I love it…

                            It functions great as a daypack for when I feel like a smaller bag than my GR1.

                            dat red bartack.  Also, all the rivets on this bag are leather backed…

                                            @todd how are you finding it? Still keen to hear more 'real world' stories of how the GR's go.
