Know before you buy
Yes, the GR2 Slick is designed to meet standard carry-on requirements for most major airlines. Its dimensions of 21.75" x 14" x 9" allow it to fit in most overhead bins while maximizing the allowed space.
The 'Slick' version removes the external MOLLE webbing found on traditional GORUCK bags. This creates a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic that is less likely to snag on surfaces and looks more professional in office or urban environments.
The pack features a dedicated, padded laptop compartment designed to protect devices up to 17 inches. Because the compartment is separate from the main storage area, your computer stays secure and easily accessible during security screenings.
The full clamshell opening allows the bag to lay completely flat, similar to a suitcase. This makes it significantly easier to pack, unpack, and locate specific items compared to top-loading backpacks.
The pack is built for heavy loads and includes a sternum strap to help distribute weight across your chest. While it is highly durable, keep in mind that the 1000D Cordura construction is robust and adds to the base weight of 4.4 lbs.
Absolutely. The water-resistant 1000D Cordura is built to withstand rugged conditions, and the bag is fully hydration reservoir compatible. It is a versatile choice if you need a single pack that transitions from travel to the trail.
