This may be the wrong place for this thread but it's about backpacks? Please move to the correct place if I am in the wrong spot . Thank you
Does anyone own a bag from one or possibly both of these companies that can comment on their durability/comfort/organization on a day to day basis , I'm not looking to bring it to war just for everyday use.
I've carried (still currently) a 5.11 rush 12 backpack for close to 8 years . It's had the life beat out of it and honestly it could go another 8 years if I needed it too, but I've been paying a lot of attention to other everyday carry items and leaving my daily pack on the back burner. Mainly because it's a really good bag and it served me so well, but I'm looking to broaden my horizon and I've been eyeing
1. Triple aught design fast pack lite speed
2. GoRuck Gr1
Both seem to be tough as nails according to reviews but I'd like to hear first world experiences not a review on the web.
How's the organization for everyday use? The gr1 doesn't seem to have much just one big dump pocket and two inner smaller zippered pockets, the lite speed seems to have more . I'm not looking to be super tactical looking or Tom cruise or anything colors would either be black or grey , possibly black multicam if the tad were available.
Are these bags comfortable when heavy? I don't carry "a ton" of stuff but sometimes it could get heavy with my laptop , tablets, chargers, batteries external battery charger etc . I don't carry it far or long mostly short brief walks to and from the car.
I don't plan on adding any additional pouches or gear on the outside of the bag whatsoever and if I were to grab the litespeed more of the straps would either come off or be rolled up. I don't want a lot hanging or dangling on my bag .
Any other suggestions would be appreciated as I am not set on these two they were just some I ran across that seemed really nice . Price isn't an option but I'm not spending a grand on a bag. My 511 cost me 100$ .
Thanks
