GORUCK GR2

EDITORS PICK
We can’t think of a better Carry On bag to travel the world with. The GR2 fits everything you need, blends in to anywhere you go, and can be customised with modules to most configurations you desire. If you’re a OneBag convert, the GR2 let’s you carry on everything, yet still present in front of a client or fancy hotel lobby. This is not a cheap pack, but when you consider that the price includes a commitment to keep the bag in service almost no matter what you get up to, for life, it starts to feel like great value. The GR2 is a large pack, which better suits a larger wearer. However it also has several smaller stablemates (including the cult GR1) if you don’t need to survive out of your bag for quite as long.

- Supertough and versatile
- Pockets are awesome
