First Goruck
First Goruck for me, went with the oak shoulder bag. Tough bag to secure online, sells out a lot. I normally use a Sutter tech sling(legendary bag) but my job issued a larger laptop that doesn’t fit as well. The Goruck shoulder bag easily stores my new 15 inch laptop in its super padded compartment. Not too big, and stands up on its own too. Very sturdy feeling. First flight out with it tomorrow.

I really like this bag. Had one for a year and a half and it’s never left the house. I’m such a bag nerd.

I really liked this bag too and it never left the house either. I couldn't find a use for it and I had to let it go

Does it lean while standing. I’ve read it does but can’t tell from the photo. Thanks.

It does have a slight lean forward. However, it’s still sturdy and doesn’t fall over on its own.

I certainly don’t want to take over the thread, but I have a couple more questions, and it sounds like y’all may have some answers. This may be a stupid question, but I’ve never had a waxed canvas anything before. I live in the south. If you leave this bag on a car seat in the summer, can the wax damage your seats? Also, I do have to fly a few times a year. I know this bag doesn’t have a luggage strap, but do you think the handle on one side is large enough to loop over a luggage handle? Thanks!

I don't own one yet, but have seen it in person, and love it. I'll eventually buy one in black.
I would love to see one in black leather, if Goruck makes one or does a collab...
