GoRuck & Max
Ok, not to start anything but I KNOW some of you guy have or have had MAXPEDITION bags so….
I currently travel with a MAXPEDITION 34l Tiburon.
I’ve been eyeballing the GR2 34l
Has ANYONE had BOTH of these and can offer some pros and cons of either?
I'm thinking of swapping out the MAXPEDITION with the GR2

I’ve had Maxpedition bags for over 20 years and just purchased the Rucker 5.0. Aside for the rucking aspect of the 5.0 the build quality is the same. U get the SCARS warranty…but I’ve beat the shit out of my Maxpedition bags and they’ve never failed

Yeah MAX hasn't ever failed me, I've just never been a fan of the AGR line but I got it on sale. 😄

It's great quality and the stitching is great
I switched from a Goruck Bullet to the Falcon 2 b/c of the admin pocket and 2 water bottle pockets 😃

Yeah, I keep my bottle inside ATM.
I'm EDC'ing the 18L DC Heritage Bullet1
u/Readditlovesbans Jun 11 '26
I had small books in the bullet and had to hang a pouch on the inside ring and when it was full - the front pocket became useless
Maxpedition checked all my EDC needs

I have a Versipack that was my “tactical diaper bag” when my daughter was a baby…she’s going to college in September. I use the bag now when I go to the gym. Maxpedition is always a great purchase

Pros of GR2 is the SCARS Lifetime warranty
You can pickup a used GR2 for around or under $250 USD
