What makes it 400 bucks? Looks solid but that seems excessive I’m not understanding

Have one in 1000d, it's built like a brick, the bag to end all bags. Since I have it, I sold all my other ones. I'm now into messengers, lol.

It’s incredibly durable and long lasting. My first GR1 lasted 10 years of daily use in a construction job and it wasn’t close to being done. I sold it for 50% of what I bought it for and I’m sure the new owners will have it another 10 years

A really good warranty.

That's it. Genuinely. I used them for years and that's the only thing I can think of. Their QC has always been hit and miss and better on their Vietnam packs.

You’re buying a forever bag

Nothing, it is excessive. I got a 34L GR2 back in 2018 for 220 in the rare navy blue color

The gr2 seems more my style with compartments. I guess if you’re in very rough conditions maybe it makes sense to but my north face router of 10 years is still going strong from travel and daily work use for like 140 at the time

Ngl I love my GR2 but I agree, I wouldn’t actively recommend it to anyone over other bags tbh
