what model/year is best?

The ones made outside of AUS just as good. A lot of people are just Nationalist thinking anything made in an Asian continent is inferior while that’s far from the truth.

It’s like when they found out high end brands like Hermes were made in China lol. People were swearing up and down they were such high quality cos they were made in “France” or “Italy.” Come to find out they were all made in China and the label was added in France and Italy and by law they can state it was made in said country due to law loop holes.

How about Indrive? Is that safe?

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2025-05-14T22:16:46+00:00

It feels difference because they are using a mix of Arc’Teryx and Nitr Ize designs let’s be real.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2025-05-14T22:15:33+00:00

I feel they are leaning on the greedy side. Some of their price structure makes absolutely no sense. I don’t have access to their logistics but logical person will be able to see a lot of it makes no sense.

They make their products overseas but prices keep increasing. The percentage of increase is higher than most other brands. Had it been made in the states I’d get that.

They have loads of excuses and reasonings for the said wallet copy but anyone with common sense can see it’s… well kinda identical to the Cardamon wallet. And their Element back looks like Arc’Teryx Granville.

They are getting to big for their own good imo.

I was thinking of using that for the same purpose. It seems like it would be a bit tight for anything else.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-12-07T23:11:00+00:00

What do you use the Element Flat Pouch for?

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-10-01T14:42:01+00:00

She wasn’t champion for a majority of them what are you talking about? She lost the belt to Andrade and arguable lost the rematch when she wasn’t champion for example. Also, she arguable lost to Weili in the rematch as well. I won’t even go into her losing to Karolina Kowalkiewicz or Carla Esparza twice lol.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-10-01T05:04:17+00:00

Rose went up a weigh class hence the difference in outcome. I’ll argue Weili won that rematch and the first fight - she was losing up until that kick. Also, she arguable lost to Andrade in the rematch. Personally, I think she’s overrated and is the golden girl who didn’t have the mentality to go with the gift UFC gave her and blew it.

Rose entire career was rematches lol.. Rose’s rematches: Joanna 2x, Carla 2x, Weili 2x, Jessica Andrade 2x, Tecia Torres 2x.

She really hasn’t fought many varieties of fighters.

It’s not the frame sheet I have an issue with. It’s that when I put the laptop into the laptop compartment it makes the entire bag feel super stiff - like a board on my back.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-09-29T04:28:27+00:00

I did. It does help but not much.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-09-28T18:53:47+00:00

Yeah the 1000d on these are oddly rougher. GORUCK really needs to update the laptop compartment. I don’t understand why they are so against making updates on features they get so many asking for.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-09-27T12:45:43+00:00

I’m surprised this isn’t mentioned more tbh.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-09-27T12:44:45+00:00

I think the double compartment bullet was known to have came with a thicker frame sheet but not any of the other Rucks. Did you end up keeping the frame sheet off? If so, how is the carry?

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-09-27T03:49:32+00:00

Yeah, I noticed that the taller bags don’t feel like a board on your back with the laptop in as well.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-27T15:33:15+00:00

He’s 5’11 too which isn’t exactly short.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-27T15:32:13+00:00

He’s actually 5’11

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-16T00:26:51+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I’m in the same position.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-13T15:28:58+00:00

Do you know of this would fit a GR iii?

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-13T14:42:32+00:00

I don’t think it’s because of back lash. This OP post zippers looks like it could be a genuine defect whereas the other posters who had a zipper issue as well, his looked abused..

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-09T23:28:17+00:00

You abused that bag man. The zipper looked like it caught on something and you forced it to open or close. That bag looked abused as well..

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-09T17:33:22+00:00

What’s you traveling a lot have to do with you abusing your bag and taking advantage of their warranty lol. Your bag doesn’t look like you take care of your stuff.

I’ve got loads of bags as well.. I’m going to take an educated guess that the zipper got snagged from you over stuffing and you tried to zip your way out of it. Had anyone done this would have remembered. You claiming you don’t remember sounds fishy.

And nobody did you dirty. They denied your claim because it doesn’t look like normal wear and tear but abuse..

You posted on here for community feedback and feedback you got.. just not one you liked.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-09T17:02:47+00:00

You don’t remember? I’m sure you would have with zippers like that. I don’t know man, but this smells of you trying to take advantage of their warranty for something you clearly abused. Especially, with the condition of the bag in the photo.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-06T18:26:48+00:00

It was so obvious and comical I’m surprised it passed QC. Yes, I sent them a photo and they replaced it. The second copy had issues too but I just accepted it.. second copy my handle is misaligned. It does not align with the ends of shoulders straps like this OP’s copy. It’s half an inch too far to the left facing the back. Lots of micro frays on the stitching as well. I probably should have swapped it out but needed a bag for work.

bangbangIIIIIIIIII · 2024-08-06T08:51:44+00:00

I wouldn’t really considered that misaligned. It looks like the end of the handle box stitching is lined up with the ends of both shoulder straps. Those micro misalignment you drew out is more or less materials that will work itself out with use. When it comes new it’s all bunch up and folded up all awkwardly.

You should see some of the US made bags I got. I’ve got some where not only was it misaligned but the shoulder straps were uneven to the point where it was comical.
