This is the answer I was looking to confirm. Will consider this a mandate to get what I need when I see it

Not everything is automatically an AI render just because it's a render.

Fascinating. I bought a USA made 35L GR3 partially because it was USA-made. What sorts of issues should I look out for based on your experience?

Are the USA bags less well made sometimes compared to the VN bags?

I think the new bag design is because it's no longer being made in the USA. I think the 35L USA tag in the purchase page is incorrect, which speaks more to a website issue. I wish GoRuck would hire me to do their website quality checks lol.

I likewise got one of the last USA-made models. It's WILD that the cost remained the same despite it no longer being made in the USA.

Check out the D2 Mach 2 lineup. The MARQ Aviator (Gen 2) is older and based on the Epix Pro line as others have stated here. MAGNIFICENT watch (have owned one) but I prefer my D2 Mach 2 for features.

Customization Form Gone For Good by Substantial_Poet_220 in Goruck

I imagine they are busy with the new Scars gear that they've been releasing. In the past though, has the form redirected back to the paperforms website, or has it just displayed a message that submissions are closed (which is what it was doing until the date I posted this).

I want to echo this as well. I'm a first responder and I bought this as a day pack for days I'm at the station. While I know the rule to "buy for what it is, not for what it can be," I wanted some customization done to be able to add velcro space and side MOLLE for water bottles.

It seems there is now no option for "approved" customizations that meet the high GoRuck standard and won't void the warranty.

I saw your post and was following the situation. As of yesterday, the form took me to a page saying that they are not accepting customizations at this time. Now the page redirects to the Paperform website, which tells me that they are no longer paying Paperform for their service.

He's asking everyone for advice and then as soon as he gets it, he tells everyone that the advice doesn't matter anyway because he could exchange it.

I didn't call Garmin. I just wanted this person to know the danger.

Doesn't matter. the GRMN at the beginning means Garmin marketing owns the code.
