Chrome Volcan Pack vs GoRuck GR1

This is a personal preference, but I do also like that it isn't too strappy. Don't get me wrong, a hiking bag is great but when you're running around the store, office, airport, wherever, all those straps become flails that hit everyone, or catch on everything. The only thing this bag has is a chest strap, which is just about perfect for an everyday bag. The cons: This bag is big

And then they went to a naming convention where the Gr1 now has two sizes, the 21 liter and the 26 liters. So so what I'm gonna cover today for the Gr...

Here, uh, for you, know a nice everyday bag. It's got a pretty solid, harness system uh. You know it's nice wide, straps, quite a bit of padding. It'S...

It just screams “chic”! This is also very comfortable when worn, as the shoulder straps and back of the bag are very well-padded. • Durability: As noted, this is well-padded and made of a solid polyester fabric material. As I intend to wear this for walks to/from the office and daytrips, I believe this should hold up just fine. In summary, I love the color and comfort

Solid straps (durable and comfortable). I got the black bag, and would have no problem taking it into a meeting if necessary - I wouldn't say it's the most professional bag, but it's definitely not unprofessional/high-schoolish.

I imagine the carabiner on the right shoulder strap could come in handy to secure it to a chair or stroller when out in public and not wearing it on my back.

Pockets, storage, zippers etc. are thoughtful and hit that sweet spot of 'just enough'..

Water resistant material, great ergonomics and spaces/pockets inside. Feels good on the back too. Best money I've ever spent on a bag.

The backpack feels like a quality item. There is an internal sleeve for a laptop, and pockets on the outside of the bag. The integrated laptop sleeve is made from a soft, synthetic fabric and will hold a 15" laptop. The outside pocket is covered with a flap secured with velcro, and inside is a zippered pocket

This backpack by Osprey is very well made but keep in mind this is a laptop backpack. It’s not going to take a lot and I am quite disappointed with the size. It’s long but thin. Zipper doesn’t go all around because of the bottle pocket will not allow for this
