Thanks for getting the video out quickly. A couple of thoughts after seeing this video (Note: I travelled all over with a GR2 for a year) :
1) The issue with the front compartment on a GR2 is that if you stuff front compartment with pouches and stuff, its basically unusable to use any of the mesh pockets and organization. The GR2 IMO works much much better when its understuffed so you can properly utilize its organization. It is also weirdly shaped that its deeper at the bottom and slimmer up top so hard fully utilize the front compartment sometimes
2) Agreed GR3 is probably best for someone who is not necessarily living out of the bag but going to a location and unpacking. GR2 is well designed to live out of.
3) CTB35 straps suck compared to the GoRucks. couldn't deal with it eventho I loved the organization.
4) Lastly, GR3 is probably best pared with a daypack or kitbag. Something so you can keep your small stuff organized as the GR3 wont offer that. I can imagine using this GR3 with a Bullet or a kit bag when flying so i can keep my jacket, snacks, ipads etc well organized and next to me while the bag sits in the overhead.
Excited to get mine next week.
Good stuff. Agree all around!
Wonderful video JB! Thanks for the thorough review!
You bet!!
Bought the GR3 35l today. I already have the GR2 34l but always wished it was a single big compartment. After Seeing the on body shots at 7:14 I was convinced, the GR3 looks a lot better because of less depth and more width.
Thanks for another awesome video, your content is much appreciated and I still can't believe that you don't have more followers, the quality is top notch!
Thanks! Tell your friends! 😜
@@JBOutside1 already on it 😎
Watching your breakdown JB, for me, that GR3 35L would be the bag for me for extended travel. I really liked everything about that bag. Thanks for the comparison, so helpful!
Thanks for sharing! You bet!
Thank You! Watching now!
Enjoy
Always like tuning into your channel....with your practical focus on what load outs can fit into what bag dimensions....is not an angle other bag porn channels do 😂
Very helpful to this bag addict
Cheers,
Curtis from Hong Kong
Thanks Curtis!! I’m here for you when it comes to overstuffing your favorite bags! 😜
My Goruck travel bag journey started with a GR3 45. Used for a good while traveling for work, almost every week on an airplane. After a year or so I was swayed by the hype of the GR2 40.
My GR3 moved on to someone else and I used the GR2 40 for maybe a year. One issue I had with the GR2 was when one compartment was stuffed, the other was a bear to zip up. Plus I preferred to use packing cubes vs the mandated compartment sizes in the GR2.
When the GR3 45 came back in stock, I moved on it and having it back was such a relief. So easy to pack and I missed the side cinch straps it has that the GR2 doesn’t. I’ll wrap a sweater or light jacket in them if need be.
Now a 35l GR3 has joined my larger one. Love it! Going to use that for a while on the weekly airline travel for work. Superb bag and the QAP is a nice change.
Nice!!
So you like the GR3 35L more than the GR2 40L?
I need a one bag solution and I was looking into the GR2 34L or maybe going bigger and getting the GR3 45L? It's for longer trips 3week+ in and out of hotels and cities like Tokyo and Manila, so lots of walking. You think I should just get the GR3 45L? Maybe I'll get the GR3 35L if you like it more than the GR2 34/40L.
@@ConnahJayIf I were going for 3 weeks in and out of hotels, I’d take my GR3 45l no question but that’s me. I don’t have high tech shirts and pants that pack down really small. If you do then the 40L GR2 might be a good option if you stick with packing clothes inside their zippered webs. Packing cubes work best with the GR3 45 over the 35. The 45 will perfectly fit 4 10l Goruck cubes and the 35 will hold 2 10L in the bottom pretty well but the top tapers up too tight for one more side to side. You can pack their split 10l up top in a 35 with room on the sides to stuff things.
The 45 when stuffed is big. How tall are you etc?
One bonus on the GR3 is the side compression straps that also aid in strapping a sweater or coat to the side.
@@ConnahJayThe GR2 has a nice prefab pocket for toiletries. I have Toiletry bag I unfold (unzip) an slide into that outer compartment on both GR3s.
@@tzolkosky I'm 5'9 and about 155 pounds. I'm considering the 45L but I walk/subways a lot. It might be too big for what I'm doing? You think the GR2 40L is the next best option that's a bit smaller, I saw it packs the same as the 34L?
Great job using the shooter. I was actually looking to compare the 40L shooter to this. I ordered the 35L once it came out just in case, though. I've even considering removing the plate pockets from my gray/coyote 39L for that reason. Maybe now I don't need to.
Oh, nice. Let me know how that works out
J.B.
fantastic video, very scientific and objective comparison.
Thanks JB!
Hey JB, happy thanksgiving. Greet video as usual! I also bought this bag and it is on its way to me. One question is, when you wear this bag, does the lower part of the bag put too much pressure on your lower back or anything like that? Thanks!
Not sure yet as I just got it. I didn’t notice anything like that when I wore it around the house and took the video shots.
Awesome vidso... thanks for a quick video considering you just got it. Im surprised that you can still pack more in the gr2 34l. 🖐🖐👋👋
You and me both!
fyi gr2 34l and 40l pack same
@@Md-gr7we that was my conclusion in the video I shot a while ago. A classic!
It's definitely a matter of packing things differently between the GR3 and the GR2. I haven't yet had my hands on the 35L GR3, but I have owned several 40L GR2's and I have always been able to pack more into my CTB35 than I ever could in the GR2. It's really just a matter of HOW the items are packed that makes the difference in which one you can get more stuff in overall. I would bet if the items were packed in smaller cubes or the Evergoods cubes you would get more in the GR3 35L & CTB35 than the GR2. The Peak design cubes take up a lot of space. They were my first packing cubes and after trying others, I gave the peak cubes away.
Nice. Agree completely. More about the how
yes sir
Are you talking about the evergoods 8l packing cube that’s on preorder?
@@user-ku8xi8zr4c yes
@@user-ku8xi8zr4cthey are fantastic. I have 4 of them from before they sold out on the initial run.
JB You explained the packing quandary a month later in your Go Ruck Sizes video, where the GR3 35L was actually 31.4L while the GR2 34L was over 37L!
Whew! Glad that worked out in my favor 😜
Use of molle straps is nice. So often they become a weight adding decoration rather than being useful
Very true!
Great video, as usual! When you travel, do you carry a separate bag for your camera/video gear, or do you try to put that in your main pack (e.g., in a GR2)?
If I’m in one bag all the gear is usually in cubes. If in two bags all the expensive stuff is in a backpack and the clothes and stuff is in a duffle
Thanks!
Thanks for comparing the GR3 35L to the Evergoods CTB35. I prefer the CTB35 over the GR2 34L and was curious to see how these guys compared. I do like the GORUCK straps over Evergoods (Hill People Gear > Mystery Ranch / GORUCK > Evergoods). Love the 210D backing on GORUCK's newest gen packs and wish more folks would do that. It definitely isn't abrasion resistant (just ask my Rucker 25L) and wonder how Evergoods' backing would do in similar conditions (concrete).
I don't ever recall using the bottom attachments for the GR3 45L so it's a nice to have but not necessary (unless you're going camping but I would never take a GORUCK pack camping or hiking).
The thing that pushes the CTB35 over the top is the convenience of all the external quick access pockets, which eliminates the need for a tech pouch (saving space).
agree!
Great summary and additional commentary. @JB thanks also for comparing the CTB36. Something I really needed to see.
GoRuck black is a lint magnet. Any tips for keeping it looking good? I'm constantly tape rolling mine.
I don't have a big problem personally but lint roller is what I use if I need to
Excellent video
Thanks!
Does packing out the secondary spaces first alter how much you can pack?
Maybe a little but not too much.
Is the bottom on the GR3 45L/35L is 1050D Ballistic Nylons or did that go away?
Since GoRuck started using the 210D Cordura under the shoulder straps, they stopped listing 1050D bottom on their GR2/GR3 rucks.
No ballistic here. It been awhile since I’ve seen any ballistic in the GORUCK designs
@@JBOutside1 That’s unfortunate, I used to love that extra durability aspect on GR rucks.
SCARS gave explanation for the change. The ballistic nylon tends to get cracks at the bottom compared to the 1000d and is accordingly less durable at this spot.
How are the straps on the CTB 35 in comparison to the GR bags? I tried the CPL24 but the straps were really not comfortable for me. Also, how does the black GR Heritage compare in color retention as it ages and packability since at least in the case of my GR1 Heritage it seems to form around items better allowing me to pack it out better/more than my 500D GR.
The EVERGOODS straps are mostly about the same. Maybe a little thicker on the bigger bag but I'd say the same style. You may have the same experience unfortunately if you found the other one uncomfortable. As for the black heritage it shows wear a little easier I'd say but doesn't really change color. You can always re-wax.
@@JBOutside1thank you for the reply. My biggest hangup on going with the Black which is currently the only thing available is that I’m worried instead of it getting a nice looking patina like the other colors. It will just become an eyesore and something that I can no longer use for work.
Any thoughts on that being an issue? Even if I thought I could pull off Woodland camo for work I really do not want the 210 on the back and straps because I actually really enjoy the canvas on the back and straps of my GR1.
I really don't think you'll be disappointed with the classic heritage black. @@ShoelessPoimen
@@JBOutside1 considering it is my only current option and there’s nothing else scheduled until sometime in the summer according to their customer support. I guess that is going to be the bag. I’m going to end up with. Thank you for all of your help and responses.
Want that GR3!
👍🏻
Debating getting a 35L GR3 but the 9L difference from the 35L GR3 from a 26L GR1 doesn’t sound like all that much, do you feel that it is? Worth getting the 35L when the GR1 is a packing option? Thanks!
That size gap is significant I think the GR3 does travel a lot better compared to the GR1 if. Red more space. I’d rather single-bag the GR3 over two-bag the GR1 and a Kit Bag…most of the time.
@@JBOutside1 good to know, thanks man!
Regarding the hints of other Goruck x Carryology collabs (as you've mentioned in your GR3 35L video), any chance it would include GR3? You mentioned M23.
I honestly don't have any info on future Carryology collaborations except what's been hinted at in the Carryology Classifieds Facebook group by Taylor
I love having bags for my bags
Haha, yep!
Any chance you'll review the Robic versions of the GR3??
No plans to at the moment
I feel embarrassed to ask but what are your thoughts about rucking in the GR2, GR3 and the CTB35? Do people ever use these bags for that purpose in effort to have multi use cases to help some justify the price tag?
Not a bag question and carrying weight is not an issue with any of those bags. The problem will be fit as they are all taller bags and would not fit your bag like a smaller bag
@@JBOutside1thank you! I just found your Rucking FAQ video from a few weeks ago and am going to watch that now 😂
could you review the gr3 dyneema?
Sorry, no. Not planning on that one.
Does the GR3 35L fit in the overhead of a Dash 8 [plane]?
It’ll be a while before I can test that one out…I’d have to consult google for the specific airline dimensions you’re concerned about
I fly with a GR3 45l every week and packed it will stuff into a CRJ overhead , it’ll go but it’s like putting a fat girl in skinny jeans. Going to have a 35L GR3 coming next week. Looking forward to the smaller pack.
@@tzolkosky How do you like the GR3 35L compared to the 45L?! I've been looking at the GR2 34L but maybe I'll get the GR3 just need to know what size is best! GR2 34L/40L or GR3 35L/45L for one bag travel in cities with hotels, decent amount of walking. Thank you!
you should try the Kelty Nomad backpack
I’ll check that out
Thanks for the comparison! What's your height? I had the 40l and 34l, but when both packed only to 80%, they felt already too bulky for my liking. I ended up with the GR1 26l. The 35l, on the other hand, seems to have a slimmer profile.
Dang, I should have said that. I’m 5’9”
@@JBOutside1 Oic.. I'm 5"10.
What’s your goto daily Rucker?
For rucking? The MCT 20L Rucker 4.0. For just around town I’m bouncing between a bullet (ripstop Earth color) and the MPL22
Weird inflection at the beginning as if you’re not sold on the GR3 (35L)….
Well I had just received it so maybe that's what you hear...but it's awesome. New GO-TO for travel
When are you taking it on an actual trip to see it in practical use?
Great question and I don't have a good answer. December is bonkers with work.
Yeah I can imagine. Is it too big for work? Maybe consolidate into a single pack?
@@dylantodd9574 too big to attach to my pilot rolling bag
AER Travel 3 much better than all of these
👊🏻
bro you look disapoint
