EDITORS PICK

The smaller brother of the GR1 you were always waiting for. Supertough, well organized, supertough and badass looks. Did we mention supertough? This is for smaller loads and smaller people. If you're kinda short or a lady and want a bombproof bag that moves between work and play, then definitely check this out.

the good
  • Supertough and versatile
  • Right size for daypack
  • Pockets are awesome
  • Weatherproof
  • Comfortable shoulder straps
the not so good
  • Military look might not be for everyone
  • A little pricey
  • A little abrasive on clothes
