Our verdict
Reasons to buy
- The interior of the carry-on is velcro interior which will help with organizing.
- GORUCK creates extremely durable and quality bags. They design their bags to survive the most extreme conditions.
- Great versatility and customizable according to your preference.
- Quite comfortable to use even when loaded.
Things to consider
- The GR3 is on the larger side, so it may not be perfect for commuting and too large for shorter trips.
- No interior organizer.
- The compression strap isn't convenient.
What reviewers said
- "The ruck, like all of the other rucks is built like a tank. The added compression straps and hip belt are a features. I bought the sternum strap to complete the overall suspension system. Large main compartment. Just the right size for a carry-on."
- "This bag is a BEAST!!! I would have loved this bag on active duty. It is not designed for the organization capabilities of other rucks. It is get your pre packed, packing cubes, boots and sneakers ready and get out the door bag. It is a travel bag in every sense. Love the Velcro wall to store my mega-patch collection"

Overall the GORUCK GR3 is a tank of a pack that should fit everything you need for carry-on one bag travel, especially for longer trips.

Functional for daily use and daily life, durable enough for overstuffing, abuse, and hard travel, and convenient as a carry on bag for any airline I’ve traveled on.

...the GR3 is a solid bag if you’re looking for the biggest possible carry-on, or maybe a solid pack to hold gear in the back of your pickup truck.

The laptop space is “bombproof,” as mentioned by GoRuck, and with a large amount of internal storage plus the added internal pockets, there is space for everything. The main difference is that the harness system is comfortable and they have made the pack compatible with a hydration bladder, something you don’t see very often in the travel packs world. For those reasons, the GoRuck GR3 is the Best One Bag Travel Backpack for Hiking in 2021.

Anyone who requires a lot of space for travel packing (fellow big & tall guys, I got you). Or anyone who is really into the BYO organization mindset. If you’re already into GR packs, you already are familiar with how they carry and you know you’re going to like this.
