Great information! I’ve debated getting one of these bags for a long time. You answered a lot of questions I’ve had. Thanks! 🤙🏼

Awesome back story with these bags! Seems rock solid too! We’ve been getting more into hiking, so this is a great recommendation! Lasting 8 years and longer makes it worth for the price!

@MacStrengthCo Жыл бұрын

They are built to last and pricey but if it lasts a lifetime it's worth it however for just hiking you might find better options. Hiking specific bags might be a lighter and better set up to your needs. cheers!

I’ve had a GR26L “Slick” (no external molle) for years. Great work/travel bag. Looks good as new!

The slick ones were cool! These bags are very underrated.

Great review. They should bring back those side straps to make it collapsible. Thinking about getting a gr2 34L….

Great review. It'd be cool to see a review on your punching bags and how you schedule them with strength training.

Boxing “typically” is weds/sat as a cardio day no lifting on those days. I have a short review on them coming soon. Cheers🤙🏼

Hmm, Jack Barley seems to be scrubbed from GoRuck history. He was a co-founder and main designer.

That's a great point. What's up with that? I feel I should have mentioned something.

He started his own company, Evergoods.

Did you get a chance to try out Bolt Equipment? If so what's your thoughts.

@MacStrengthCo Жыл бұрын

They are a chinese reseller without much background so I'm hesitant to buy anything from them just yet. Unlike Rep or Rogue who have been around for 10+ years and have a proven track record of customer service and innovation. We are nearing a recession which will bankrupt many of the smaller fitness companies.

@@MacStrengthCo Ok thanks for the information I was just curious.

@@rogerbingman9370 Bolt fitness is 100% chinese made and basically is a shipping company that wholesales equipment much like Titan. They seem to have some nice stuff but most of it could be bought for cheaper off Alibaba directly.

No it was disabled but should have it back soon. Either someone tried to hack it or it was just randomly hit by the IG AI. I'll update when I know. cheers!

How is it after 10 years now? 😁

I've had mine for almost 14 years, the original GR2 (1st Gen ever made); some stitching in areas of internal pockets around the zipper is coming loose/fraying, the waxed coating of the lining on the Cordura is becoming sticky/smelly. Also the "Goruck" brand insignia labels that are held on with glue is almost completely dissolved/come off. Not a big deal, other than that it's still solid bag. I don't think it'll last a lifetime though. My black GRTAC hat is completely frayed destroyed based on extreme UV sun where I live. Nothing lasts forever, but ~15 years is a good run for the materials used👍

I'm in south america and it's going strong. It will last my lifetime.
