GoRuck GR1 vs The North Face Surge Pack

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

the padding is more on the firmer side which i like because it doesn't seem like the padding will wear out as fast. the laptop compartment is amazing. super cushy and a generous false bottom with a bit of structure in the back panel makes me feel very confident my laptop is protected. I wish they gave just a touch more room in the tablet sleeve though

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...

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

The grab handle on this back is excellent. Great grab one and even for my big meat mitts. I got really big hands so this grab handle is comfortable. I...

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.

. PS, after I asked to see if I can even just pay for the top handle strap to be fixed customer service said they would be in touch.

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

Number 16: The Laptop Compartment: I actually have to say that this is my favorite compartment or laptop compartment out of any other bag I have ever ...
