    I appreciate you answering your followers comments. I’m considering the gr2 26l but stuck between cordura or ripstop for edc use. I own a Evergoods mpl 30. Is the goruck ripstop similar quality/durability to evergoods nylon?

    • @dannypacks
      @dannypacks  17 днів тому

      Thank you for watching! I would say the durability is similar but the Goruck nylon feels a little “floppier” and broken in compared to the evergoods nylon I have used on the CTB, not sure if the mpl is a lot different than that

    The Double Compartment Bullet 18L has been my go to EDC bag for a while. I love the form factor and its organizes just like the GR2 but just smaller. They list it as 18L but I swear it holds just as much as my 21 L GR1

      Thank you for watching and glad to hear the bullet has been working out well! I have only used the 16l but am not surprised it feels like the 18l can hold as much as the 21l it’s deceptively spacious

    Hi Danny, I found Ripstop is a relatively cheaper material vs others.
    Is it good?
    Does Ripstop have a stiffness that keeps the bag's shape?
    Is it strong?
    Is Goruck Ripstop worth the price?
    What do you think?

      cheaper and somehow more expensive.

      Thank you for watching and those are all fair questions! In general, ripstop nylon to me doesn’t feel as rugged as 1000d, but it still feels durable and high quality. For my everyday and typical travel usage the ripstop feels durable enough and for me it’s worth the trade off for the lighter weight, improved weather resistance and the out of the box comfort it provides. It’s not super rigid so it won’t hold its shape but I actually like that particularly in the gr2. Whether it’s worth the price is always a tough question for any bag. For me I am a fan of Goruck bags and have always had good experience with the quality and customer service and the style and layout work well for my preference so their bags are worth it to me, but they are pricey and with so many great options available at lower price points I can see why many would not find the price point to be worth it for them. I do find it strange that the ripstop is more expensive so for people who don’t care as much about the weight and weather resistance I might lean towards the 1000d version still

      Thank you for watching! It seems to change a bit based on the lighting 😅 I would say it’s almost a blend of the two, so there’s a hint of green, but mostly a light tan?

    I don’t really understand your comment about 1000D taking a long time to be easy to use. The 1000D holds its shape, stands up on its own and is bombproof.
    The ripstop just seems like a flimsy material that turns what makes GORUCK packs great into a fragile pack that always looks lumpy with no structure.

    • @dannypacks
      @dannypacks  4 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for watching and good question! I agree 1000d is still the more rugged fabric and if I needed the longest lasting bag it would still be my first choice, but for my preferences it feels a little too stiff and heavy when compared with the ripstop. For the a majority of my uses the ripstop is still more than durable enough and I like that it’s lighter, more weather resistant, and I actually like bags that are a little floppy since they don’t look as bulky when they’re not fully packed and it’s easier to use the front zippered pocket
