          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.

            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.

              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…

                  I love the interior fabric and design of this bag.

                      @tody you know you want one... 😁

                      @Anesthetist and @goosehd your bags look great.

                      I'm still tempted, and will see what Keys are asking tomorrow when they go live. The price from GORUCK worked out at $1020 Australian direct, and anything over $1000 gets hit by import duty and GST, which will add another $150 or so onto the price. If the exchange rate has shifted in my favour...

                        @tody @Graeme TBH, I wasn’t going to make the purchase because of the price. Not having a GORUCK bag before this one, I considered that this purchase to be a leap of faith. When I saw @Anesthetist pull the trigger, I felt just a little more comfortable completing the purchase.

                        Is this the best bag in the world and the last I’ll ever own…probably not. Is it a cool bag with a lot of potential…definitely.

                        Will I get another bag in the future…only time will tell.

                        I’m to a point where I have bags for different purposes, and bags that work and don’t work for those purposes. Will I sell bags currently in my collection…probably not.

                        Will this bag fill a niche…yes.

                        Probably useless information, but I’m being honest and trying to help.

                          @goosehd I like the pack because of its crazy backstory, and it hasn't been made too complicated. Plus, my faithful Samurai backpack (thanks @Filthy2123ozjunkie) lost a strap last year, and I could do with a replacement.

                          I was, still am, very tempted by the Sattlerei Mathias Steinhauser packs. But they're reassuringly expensive.

                          The ULA Ultra Dragonfly looks a similar design to the GR1, being a panel loader with a few external pockets. Carryology reviewed it, and the fact that it's a simple bag appeals. It's the right size, but currently unavailable.

                                    @goosehd @Graeme I couldn't resist the pressure and got the 21L at KEUS. Under 800 incl. shipping - that might even have been cheaper than getting them on the US store!

                                        @Graeme those Steinhauser pieces are impressive, especially like their small leather goods. I am a sucker for a horseshoe coin case and theirs is so well done, I could see myself falling for it.

                                            Just ordered a Rofmia Daypack v 2 when I happened to notice they’re in stock. I do not need this bag but a certain change coming makes me want something slightly less… bulky? Mil spec? I can’t say techy… than my beloved Defy VX VerBockel. I opted for Daypack over Backpack because my roomy VerBockel can suit the former use case and I feel this is a justifiable gap to fill even though I have a suitable Briggs & Riley laptop daypack.

                                            Gonna be a long 1-2 week wait, I’ve had my eye on this bag for a long time.

                                            Think it, be it.
