Luggage Bags and Packs
-
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

GR-1 it is.

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…

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

Nice. What color?

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!

Bam! After several minutes fighting a very well taped box, here it is:
Showing how the strap is secured
Printed interior fabric
The superb and beautiful cobra buckle
My first impression is that it is a little smaller than I had expected but it is a great size for EDC. The quality definitely lives up to the hype and in fact it is damn near flawless in construction. I have yet to load it up but I have my concerns over the thin straps but time will tell how comfortable it is to wear. So far I'm very happy with it. Thanks to veloaudio for all the great advice!

Ended up picking up a GR2 34L over xmas as a travel back. The Briggs and Riley backpack's TSA approved section ended up giving me the shits as the TSA never accepted it as approved… should get a chance to give it a work out over Jan...
So far it's been the perfect bag to travel with @ airports, and use as a day bag for the office. It's also been enjoyable to use as a laundry bag as it can hold so much. Contented hopefully finally for a long time!
And another lap around the planet and still sticking by this. Bag search for travel is done and dusted!

Looks great. I like the contrast of the brown leather attaching the top of the straps and the piping inside. I was also worried about the straps (and the dual d-ring attachment) but I have had no issues with either.

Good to hear it! I know the search was long.
