### Reasons to buy

-   Very well put together and made up of reliable and durable materials that would surely last for a lifetime.
-   Functional internal organization.
-   Highly versatile and customizable because of the MOLLE webbings wherein you can make attachments according to your preferences or travel needs.
-   Great lifetime warranty.

### Things to consider

-   Heavy even when empty so you might wanna consider this whenever you're about to carry this for long periods of times.
-   Really expensive at $400 but justified by its features and longevity.

## Reviews from around the web

**GORUCK GR2 Review : An Adventure-Ready Travel Pack**
[abrotherabroad.com](https://abrotherabroad.com/goruck-gr2-a-travel-pack-thats-ready-for-adventure-a-goruck-gr2-review/#Final-Verdict-on-the-GORUCK-GR2)

> For anyone that travels adventurously or is searching for a “buy it for life” backpack that will last years of abuse, the GORUCK GR2 is worth the seemingly high price tag. High-quality materials (1000D Cordura Nylon, YKK zippers), high-quality construction, durable testing to 400lbs loads, and a lifetime SCARS guarantee make the GORUCK GR2 well worth the pricetag as it will serve you for years to come in ways normal travel backpacks simply can’t.
