  • Thanks for watching.. In this video I share with you the GORUCK GR1. There has been a lot of reviews of this bag already however I wanted to check it out for myself. This pack is made out of top notch materials and the construction is superior to most bags. This bag is not perfect! But it's close. The front pocket needs better access and I would like to see a better design on the back panel for ventilation. All in all this is one of the best bags that I have ever reviewed.

    When they say they’re “silent zippers”, they don’t mean the zipper itself but the actual pulls. Because it’s paracord with the rubber shrink wrap instead of the metal tabs, it doesn’t have those *cling-clang* sounds you get walking around with other bags. Hella stealth on some Batman shit

    I've observed something that made me reconsider buying a Goruck. Goruck promotes and show off physically demanding rucking, but surprisingly, their bags do not provide a way to hang a water bottle. This aspect caught my attention and made me question their design choice.

    • @oxygenenjoyer1712
      @oxygenenjoyer1712 Год назад

      While you can buy a waterbottle attachment for it, it is an issue that such an expensive pack doesn’t have a water-bottle holder. But the gr1 is meant also meant as a customizable pack

    Hey George- I edc a recycled fire fighter 24 hour pack no molle much better front pocket layout- orange for vis on main pocket and pack interior - but what really sold me was the removable stiff Velcro panel insert Sold separate to allow for modular pocket attachment. I don’t think the build quality is on par with GR but it’s still better than most and way less than GR but for some reason there is no warranty which lame

    • @GeorgeDEFINED
