Nearly perfect carry-on bag. Not too big and not too small. Wish there were grab handles on the sides to easily remove from overhead compartments. Also some webbing for a sternum strap would be great.

Perfect for EDC
This has become my go-to for daily use. It's large enough to comfortably fit my laptop, books, and other items but small enough to just grab, throw, and go.

Excellent!!! Basically a no-frills GR1 Slick!
Absolutely throughly impressed with this work of art! It’s essentially a no-frills bare-bones GR1 slick but without the molle (inside and out), laptop compartment, or back padding. But it has the same thick comfortable straps and durable materials throughout. And it’s 1/5th of the price! This is my first go ruck and I plan on getting a lot more! I’ve already used it twice for two different use cases and it worked perfectly. Once for my commute to work and another for a quick overnight trip. I am in LOVE with it and GORUCK as a company. I can’t stress enough how much I like this pack. Elite. Elevated. Empowered!
