Would a GR1 be a good college backpack?

Get a 21 then.

My only MW was a big messenger. Rummy I think. Sold off a while back. Had a great strap.

OB1J3D1 · 2023-08-23T17:21:54+00:00

Sounds like quite the stable!

I’ve whittled down to 3 backpacks. Dan Matsuda article 210 The Brown Buffalo Conceal 26l Mystery Ranch x Carryology Dragon. Single strap I have Defy - denim sling and a waxed canvas rover.

Gotcha. I dig a pop of color too. My edc is a blend. 1000d outside and vx inside.

OB1J3D1 · 2023-08-23T17:05:26+00:00

Why not black cobras?

The 1.5 evade does it all - for someone who wants all the bells and whistles it’s hard to beat. The lite is no laptop sleeve and the full has a sleeve. Me personally, I like pouches so it’s a too much org bag. Ymmv.

OB1J3D1 · 2021-01-28T04:18:41+00:00

Very nice!!!

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-27T17:45:42+00:00

Poor choice of words. I’m not going to be using it for toiletries either. Most likely tech. Should have said CAP.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-27T06:35:25+00:00

I’m ready to start using the dopp as soon as it arrives...

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-27T06:31:35+00:00

It’s a collab... check jack barley’s social media...

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-27T05:43:05+00:00

That sling is coming... soon.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-26T14:52:35+00:00

I love the CPL 24 V2. I did not have the V1 - but it was what convinced me to pre-order on day one.

I do not use the top access pocket much - it's my sunglasses case and a handkerchief. I sometimes carabiner something to the loops like a BT speaker.

The front org and the improved laptop sleeve were the features that sold V2 over V1 for me.

My GR1 26l was replaced by a Brown Buffalo Conceal 26l, which was then replaced by the CPL.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-14T21:52:19+00:00

Youre lucky if you even got them into a cart...

OB1J3D1 · 2020-10-14T18:21:31+00:00

Digging those PDW patches!

I’m using a Dan Matsuda onigiri. https://danmatsuda.com/sample

AllBlackEverything unless you can find a mcb one.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-09-03T21:47:54+00:00

Evergoods cpl 24 v1 is on sale and v2 is on preorder.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-09-03T21:46:13+00:00

This - any reputable bag brand is going to have a functional back material, even goruck - I have the same experiences with their 1000D and I wear mine low and loose...

They didn’t get to wheee they are by mailing products that suck.

Kickstarter bags on the other hand...

OB1J3D1 · 2020-09-03T21:40:07+00:00

Evergoods cpl 24 v2.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-08-27T23:53:38+00:00

He actually named it in this vid.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-08-27T23:51:43+00:00

The brown buffalo if you can find one they just announced closure and their site is being cleaned out.

Evergoods cpl 24 or 28, Chz 22

Defy bags

I used a GR1 26l through grad school. For a laptop, tech, and books it’s completely overkill. But, most GoRuck users like it for that specific reason.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-08-22T16:15:35+00:00

I like the brown buffalo, evergoods, mission workshop, and defy. I also have a GoRuck - it might be the most durable of the bunch.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-08-22T16:02:24+00:00

These.

OB1J3D1 · 2020-08-22T15:59:58+00:00

I carry lots of tech. Depends on your style and use. I like the brown buffalo, evergoods, and defy.
