I have a 3 yr old GR1 26l and i use it 5 days a week . Looks and feels new but it is broken in perfectly. Ziopers are smooth, straps fit me perfectly. Got a sternum strap as well. And its black camo too. It did take awhile to break in though to get the stiffness out. But now it's perfect.
They definitely age well. I think a lot of people don't understand how a bag like this needs to be broken in
One of the most detailed review in British accent. Started to get interested in MCB fabric. Luv it!
Hi ZT. Thanks, I've been working on my accent 😂 thanks for watching
Really great review! I own 3 GoRucks at the moment. A 26L Gr2 500d, a 26L Gr1 1000d and a 15L 500d bullet. I’ve owned the 26L GR1 for a few years and it’s nicely broken in. Feels like a worn in baseball glove. I like how you gave the brand and the bag respect for its heritage. They definitely use a different 1000d than any other bag I’ve owned. It’s way more aggressive. Same with the 500d, the Gr2 feels softer than the 500d bullet. I hope they begin to bled some of recent changes to revamp the line. I like the top quick access in the heritage bag and I really love the 500D they used in the 26L Gr2.
100% agreed. It's like 1000D on steroids :D I'd love to test out a heritage bag. I just love the idea of that waxed canvas material getting it's own patina over time. I think I'm going to grab a Rucker 3.0 next. I'd like to take it out of it's hardcore rucking safe zone and see just how well it works for EDC. Having handles all around the pack is a massive advantage to me in my day to day life, and I was also surprised just how easy a laptop slid into the ruck sleeve in the GR1... Not to mention the lighter material on the back and straps. I think the GR1 2.0 (if or when it happens) definitely needs to adopt some of the other improvements. Thanks for watching Nick. I hope you're safe and well wherever in the world you find yourself 👍
Hello.
Once again, one of the best video offered on this bag.
An objective opinion, a top presentation.
I really like this bag, probably the Grail of bags in any case in urban areas.
Too bad that here in France it is very complicated to get it.
Thank you so much for this set.
Amicably.
HI Green Spider. Thanks you, I really appreciate your kind words. It is a shame it's difficult to get these outside of the US. You should definitely try Beaver Fit to see if they'll post to France, you're just over the sea after all 😀 and one of our closest neighbours... Or try Rogue as they're in Belgium so you wouldn't have to worry about taxes - www.rogueeurope.eu/bodyweight-gymnastics/body-weight/rucking
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you manage to get out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great week
@@MoorlanderEDC Hello.
It’s a great idea for links, I’ll take a closer look.
Thank you again for your work.
We look forward to watching your next videos.
I've had the original 26L GR1 for 12 years, used daily - as EDC and travel bag. Cordura has worn through at the bottom corners (patched/glued with some tougher Cordura) and had laptop compartment zip replaced (broke). Other than that it is still going strong. Never had an urge to look for alternatives.
Absolutely spot on review best one on the gr1 by far watched it when it first come out and brought a black gr1 and well I’ve gone a bit Goruck mad since boots etc etc love there gear just finally scored a brand new gr1 in multicam black today off of the Goruck site exited to replace my plain black with this mcb … thanks again for the great video from Ryan in Devon uk
Thanks Ryan. I appreciate the kinds words there. These really are those packs you have to touch and feel to appreciate the hype 🤜🤛
Thanks again, all the best buddy
Great review. Agree with the cordura comment. I have a RFF Battalion in addition to the GR1(21 & 26) and the 1k cordura on the RFF has a way different feel. Thinner and lighter than the GR1.
Hi Cruz. I think it's 1000d on steroids. They definitely asked Cordura for some secret recipe 😅 thanks for watching
Great stuff, I'll look into this
Hi mate , I made that jacket purchase lol ! I went for the Coyote Brown ! I didn’t realise that the waist didn’t have a draw cord like the non hooded version has but it’s absolutely fine as it’s slightly elasticated as you know. Cheers
Hey buddy. That's awesome. Thanks for the heads up on the difference. I'll make sure to note that in the Content. I was out yesterday in mine think it was cold enough. I ended up sweating buckets 😂
@@MoorlanderEDC I got caught in a heavy downpour out in some open land yesterday on a walk so I put the hood up and it held up really well , the water was just beading and did not go through , I just wiped it off ! Quite impressed! One slight word of warning , I’ve lost two patches from the arm now as when I take my backpack off the straps get caught on the patch and pull it off quite easily and you don’t notice at the time. The Velcro seems a little weak to me. Anyway just thought I’d give you the heads up on that
Ha! Sounds like the Sunny D in the '90s was the same here in the States as across the pond
These kids nowadays don't understand just how good it was back then. I'd happily relive the 90s again 😂 thanks for watching and commenting
Great video!
Thanks buddy 👍
Are you English? I've never met one of you who did not badmouth anything to do with America. Bravo for the open mind.
And fantastic review. Could not ask for more in a review.
Hi Sean. Some may see me as English yes. Im definitely British as I'm mixed ethnicity with a Welsh dad and Scottish mum. I appreciate your kind words buddy. I definitely like to stay open minded and see most things for their strengths. I've made some amazing friendships throughout the world through my channel and a lot of them are from the US. Thank you for watching. I hope you're well and safe wherever you are 🤜🤛
@@MoorlanderEDC Hello.
By English I meant from the UK. My dad is Irish, and my mom is Indian, if you saw me you might assume I'm 100 percent Indian lol.
Do not get me wrong, we in America are far from perfect but the British folk I've met, you'd think we are pure evil that can do no right, haha.
And I like how you show the packs from a hook, very easy to see and get a better feel for the bag, in so far as we can through a video.
Cheers. Safety and health to you and your fam as well.
@@MoorlanderEDC btw, was this a this made in America version or the Vietnam one?
Hi Sean, this is one of the Vietnamese ones. The quality of the work coming out of their tiny nation is amazing. It's great that companies like Go Ruck make sure they're paid fairly for their work too
You're more than welcome my friend. That's a lovely mix of nationalities. Do you do a mix of St Paddy's day and Diwali through the year. That sounds like an amazing household.
I think a lot of people around the world are influenced by the biased media. My parents always told me to judge people on my own experiences. All I've found from the diverse people from the US is kindness and friendship. Theres bad people all around around the world... It's such a shame the world media concentrates on the bad. I try to teach my daughters to keep their minds open to this sort of stuff.
Is that the Wolfhound Hoodie mate ? I’ve got the non hooded version , great lightweight jacket! Great video as always
Hi NFE, great spot buddy. Yes it is. Currently testing out for a piece of content. I'm really impressed... Especially with it being half the price of a Mammut, Rab or Montane equivalent. I hope you're well and managing to keep dry 😊
@@MoorlanderEDC For the money it’s an excellent buy! I wish I’d got the hooded version now though , maybe a future purchase ! Only slight niggle is the zips on side pockets tend to get caught on the lining - one of those situations lol !
Yep, but luckily they make up with how warm that internal lining isb😂
@@MoorlanderEDC True ! 👍🏻😂
Great video. Is this the 21L or the 26L? I just ordered the GR2 26L and feel like it’s maybe a bit too large.
Hi Salty, this is the 26l version. Its the perfect size for me. Plenty of room for you everyday stuff, plus more for those 'just in case' moments
Great Review!! Greetings from Texas . I own two goruck bags one I do basically the same just throw in some regular weights. The other one for daily use . Love them !! Thanks for the review my friend
Hi Ray. I hope you're well Sir. I'm hoping to pick up the newer Rucker 4.0. I'd like to see how it holds up as a viable alternative tot he GR1 for an everyday backpack. Thank you for watching, and all the best to you and yours in the Lone Star State 👍
Any alternatives to the GR1 not that I don't like it ... But it's super ex at where I m close to 500+ bucks so yea ... Any alternatives with maybe the same styling as the GoRuck?
You should definitely check the Rucker 4.0 packs. They're pretty much identical and work really well as EDC backpacks. I've made some content on how well the Rucker 4.0 holds up. They're also a lot less than the GR1. Not sure if you've seen, I have a give away for a Rucker 4.0 Long Range on my Community Page here on RUclips 🤙
@@MoorlanderEDC ooh! Ok I'll check it out n yep I signed up for the Giveaway and commented haha
Correction the GR1 comes in 2 sizes. 21l or 26l. Not 20 or 26
Hi CY, thanks buddy. Do you have a GR1? How do you find yours? thanks for the heads up too... Appreciate the help. Have an awesome weekend
@@MoorlanderEDC Of course! And yes I sure do, I actually have the 21 L, 26 L, 34 L GR2 the GR three and a bullet I use for day trips. Haha I have a little problem I suppose. But overall some of the best bags you can get and will certainly last a lifetime
Wow, that's a sweet collction. 100% agree on the bags lasting. These really are those heirloom style packs you can pass down to the grandchildren in years to come. Hope you're well and safe buddy
👍
🏴🤜🤛🇨🇵
just sunglass pocket and admin panel then it will be the dream backpack.
Hi Anas. I think the Carryology version they had as a collaboration had that on there. There's an extra easy access pocket right at the top by the grab handle... Plus they're made with the amazing XPAC material 😎 Winner
@@MoorlanderEDC I know but they are very hard to find. I am in between the Kaidan GR2 26L and the GR1 21L for everyday carry. What do you prefer?
Personally I like the layout of the GR2 a wee bit more than the GR1. It's more versatile with it's layout and features. I'd like to test out the Rucker Long Range too
@@MoorlanderEDC but does it feel huge for everyday use? This is my only concern
Too bad.. it doesn't have side compression strap. Considering the price.
Hi BR, that would be nice. I think their idea around not having them is that any ruck plates are stores inside perfectly. They're easy to add. Have a Google for Yomp Notes. He does some crazy updates to his and really shows hot these can be customised without having to find a sewing machine. He's a pretty sound fella too
What is your height?
Hey Nerp, I'm 5'10"... Completely forgot that what is in cms
It's Goruck please fix the title I have one and I'm not happy at all, Goruck says it's not waterproof and it's a big lie you can try it
Thanks Oscaster, I think my sausage finger are to blame there 😂 I checked the site earlier and it says it's rain proof. I don't think it's waterproof. I've found the rain hoods do a great job with the zippers but I've not been in a proper down pour. I'm guessing you've got your very very wet?
Great vid as always. Many thanks.
Would love to hear and see your thoughts and findings on the Direct Action Dragon Egg backpack it seems very popular here in the UK and the States, an icon not sure??? Please you tell me.
@@zebedee4 hey Clinton... {Spoiler warning} I'm trying to get my hands on a Dragon Egg. Pretty much all Google searches for the top 10 military backpacks have the Dragon Egg in there. I'd say its definitely achieved an iconic tag 🐉😊 watch this space
@@MoorlanderEDC very wet so I had inside and I contacted Goruck with a screenshot of their ad at their website and answer was "that's not our web" increíble but true, and I was light rain it wasn't a hard rain day, thanks for answering
@@MoorlanderEDC I have the Direct Action Dust as my EDC and I have to tell you that I love that bag. It's the smaller brother of the the Dragon Egg, the quality, durability and storage options are amazing! I'd love to see your review on the Dragon Egg, I have a feeling you will love it!
