I REALLY don't need a Black Tiger Stripe Rucker 5.0 but it's calling me!

Why is the 26L GR1 the default for so many collabs? What’s your favorite one ever?

I’m not really in need of any more backpacks, I’ve got four and they all predate most of the changes (and moving most of the manufacturing to Vietnam) but I was shopping recently and had my cheap “nano mesh” sling I use for small runs show micro tears in the bottom and I realized I probably should have bought the Grocery Getter bags when they were in stock.

Please make more in black and leave the branding something I can cover up with a Velcro patch. Padded handles like the top handle on the GR1 would be great too.

Title says it all, anyone here ruck with waxed canvas? (Any model)

Does anyone have both and can compare how they look on the back? I only have the heritage bullet 16l with laptop compartment in black but I keep being tempted to pick up at heritage g1 21l in dark oak. I’m 5’2 130lb female, which backpack will look better on my frame?

I’ve been happy with my bullet straps and don’t care for the g1’s thicker straps. I usually wear all black all the time, so the black heritage goes with everything more, but the dark oak heritage has a nicer patina. I can’t decide if the boxier shorter g1 would look better on me, or the longer narrow bullet ruck is better. I did see someone post a review and pics comparing both, however it wasn’t the heritage version, but the bullet ruck did look better to me on his back. I’m curious to what you guys prefer aesthetically.

Given my ruck this AM was close to 90 degress by 0830, it got me thinking what everyone is using from a hydration perspective? Especially considering I switch between a pack and vest, I was wondering if it made sense to go the bladder route or a belt with bottles? Let me know what works for you all. TIA!

My wife always uses tote bags that I have to carry all the beach towels and water bottles and everything else she and the kids use. So I've been debating on getting a GR2 or a GR3 for the beach. Literally carrying towels, water, snacks, and no toys. Just can't figure out which style would be better for day trips to the beach. I'm in one of those instances where a store visit would be very useful to get my hands on it.

Thanks for your help! Need to get away from those giant beach totes.
