Luggage Bags and Packs

[tody]

I have been eying the GR1 for some time. But this is kind of insane... Let's see what happens tomorrow once it drops.

[goosehd]

I have a feeling it’s going to sell out quickly…and I’m contemplating setting an alarm for it.

[Graeme]

I'm curious to see what it's going to cost. But the drop is at 6 am on Friday morning here in Australia, and I'll be on a train until 7:30 with no reception, so it'll probably be sold out by the time I surface.

[mclaincausey]

Gonna be upwards of $700 right?

Sounds cool but sounds really heavy too.

[Sage954]

Really cool collab and details. Sounds $$$. I was guessing higher than 700$ @mclaincausey No more functionality than a regular gr1 and arguably less durable? Is there a secondary market?
Description was a fun read.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah they seem to be setting the stage for eye watering pricing in the copy. I think you’re right the sky is the limit on the price.

[goosehd]

$695 for the 21L plus another $80-100 for shipping. I backed out.

[tody]

@goosehd Same here. I might give it another thinkover when it drops at the French retailer next week, but they already said it will be US retail + EU VAT, so basically the same as now.

[Anesthetist]

I nabbed the 21L version

[goosehd]

I am weak…21L purchased.

[tody]

LOL, I guess I now know what to do next week.

[goosehd]

21L on the Goruck site are sold out. 26L are still available.

[goosehd]

…and 26L sold out.

[tody]

That took half an hour... Thought it'd go much quicker.
Please post your experiences once they arrive.
KEUS will have them on March 1st.

[Anesthetist]

Will do, looking forward to it. I have owned the MR Dragon, Evergoods Phoenix, and now this baddie.

[Anesthetist]

@goosehd nicely done!

[Graeme]

I was tempted, but I'm on a train that's basically a rolling Faraday cage that travels through a region with poor phone reception.

I managed to connect to see the website at around 6:15 am local time, or 2:15 pm in NY, but didn't try to purchase. I guess that I'll have to live vicariously through those of you who did.

[Anesthetist]

Phoenix & now…SAMURAI!
Part heritage, part tech, and I like it. The fabric is a stiff mother so the zips are def two handers for now. I cant wait for it to break in and settle down a bit. The patch is a work of art but….it is decidedly dorky. I imagine I wont be wearing it often.

[goosehd]

Completely agree about the zippers as they are stiff and will need some work to break in. Weight is not as heavy as I was expecting, which is a good thing. Super impressed that the zippers allow the bag to be opened fully and you can see the complete bag. Will come in handy for items that slip to the bottom of the bag. With my TAD bag, items slip to the bottom and I have to feel around for them which is often a pain in the bottom…

The misses threatened my life when I brought this up as a want so vicariously living through your Rucks. Good stuff @Anesthetist, evo updates on this piece MORE than welcomed
