      Topo Designs have just launched the Mountain Daypack, which is a similar design to the GR1.

      The Span Daypack is also a zip front style, but a touch smaller.

      Topo's bags seem pretty well made. I don't know how they compared to Goruck's build quality, but they're using similar materials so would expect a similar level of durability. Besides, we're not (generally) hanging out in war zones, so our bags are not that mission critical. 🙂

        GR1 is a great bag (so is the GR2 BTW). My only complaint is that they are heavy. However, they are definitely bombproof.

          Totally agree. I recently sold my Radio Ruck after using it for about 2 years. It served me well and probably would for years to come. I only sold it because I bought a Thrux Lawrence. One thing that did irritate me was that the black nylon always looks dusty even when new. Minor qualm I know!

            GoRuck now offer the Rucker, which is a stripped down version of the GR1. If I was in the market for one of their packs, that's what I'd go for.

              I've used my GR1 as my general purpose work/travel bag for the last year, and it's excellent - carrying the essentials of laptop, notebook, iPad, phones, pens, cables, raincoat and a bottle of water with ease. In fact the main selling point for me, and the reason that I like it so much, is how well it carries the weight - my work laptop is a heavy old brick and numerous other rucksacks and messenger bags that I'd tried previously were unable to disguise that fact and by the end of my regular 2hr+ commute I was always aware of the load that I was carrying.

              Once the GR1 is on my back it feels very secure and the weight melts away, allowing me to focus on the more important tasks of navigating through the hordes to get on/off trains/tubes/planes.

              The front panel opening is also great and allows me to pack well and access stuff easily, but I do use a mix of Goruck and Eagle Creek pouches to help organise all the bits and pieces.

              I'm seriously considering buying the GR2 as a 1 bag solution for work trips shorter than 4 days

                      Damn that thing is beautiful Graeme. I sure as hell don't need it but it doesn't stop me from wanting it [emoji1] If the 137 wasn't dropping soon…

                        After much thinking it was ordered, my everyday bag. It's great in the two tone brown leather.

                        I am not strange. I'm just not normal!

                          I think it's going to turn a great colour over time.

                                Anybody have any experience with these?  They don't seem as practical as they are snappy looking.

                                        Well I have tan and black packs so I went for navy. However, I will probably be letting go of my tan Teranishi teardrop as they will probably be too similar. I am hoping that my wife catches the ups man because I'm very excited about this pack.

                                          I almost went with Navy but decided for black in the end. I look forward to pics!
