Backpack for school in the UK (self.BuyItForLife)submitted by So I need a new backpack for school, and I tend to end up needing a new one every few months so I want to get one that will last, but Jansport and most of the other brands that are suggested in the sidebar link tend not to ship to the UK, and if they do it's far more expensive than getting the same product would be in America. I just need something big enough to hold a few books and folders and occasionally a laptop, and don't really mind what it looks like although I kind of like the look of army surplus stuff and old Jansports, for example. Any ideas what I should be looking at? Pricewise I don't really want to go much over £50 unless it really is BIFL, and I am happy to buy second hand. π Rendered by PID 20774 on app-515 at 2017-02-01 16:57:10.031070+00:00 running 66c25d1 country code: SG.we're sorry, but you appear to be a bot and we've seen too many requestswe enforce a hard speed limit on requests that appear to come

BuyItForLife)submitted by I saw a thread yesterday with many good suggestions for backpacks and checked the sidebar if there was more information, but couldn't find anything. If anyone has any experience with these two companies and actually own these bags, that would be great help! Was looking at specifically the Sanction line because I feel that would be the appropriate size I would need (links below) and a similar but much cheaper backpack in timbuk2. What makes mission workshop more expensive than timbuk2 besides obviously the materials being used? Is it worth it to spend it on the sanction?

What's the biggest difference between the three backpacks in the Sanction line? π Rendered by PID 11431 on app-414 at 2017-02-01 16:57:20.515362+00:00 running 66c25d1 country code: SG.I heard we like staplers. So here is my Swingline stapler. Our original piece of gear, designed and proven by Special Forces soldiers operating in Baghdad and New York City. Each GR1 takes 4 hours to hand build in the USA, and comes with our Scars Lifetime Guarantee. We proudly overbuild GR1 in the United States of America. It thrives in cities, airports, warzones, when rucking, and at all GORUCK Challenges. But no matter what, the toughest part about GR1 is the person wearing it. GR1 Explained by Jason, GORUCK’s Founder A simple black bag, comfortable in any and every environment imaginable. And while I started GORUCK to be so much more than a gear company, we’re proud to build the best, and to do it right here in the USA with American workers and American materials. GR1 took us a year and a half of prototyping and field-testing to get right, and we started selling it when it was ready and not a day sooner.

My background is not in sewing or even in product design; my background is as a Green Beret well versed in how gear holds up, and more importantly, how and why it fails in the harshest of conditions. Because buddies of mine now use our rucks in war, I’m constantly reminded in the most personal of ways that the gear will be used, and abused, and that it better hold up. targus 16 denim laptop backpack reviewThe end result is a highly functional yet simple bag that only gets better with time.sitka backpack warranty 10th Special Forces Group, 2006-08atrix backpack vacuum bags #GR1 IN THE FIELDxscape backpack chair Special Forces Grade Materials

The materials we choose are proven to thrive in war. YKK Zippers perform despite Middle East sandstorms, and 1000 denier CORDURA® is the preferred material for Special Forces rucks due to its strength to weight ratio and durability. High stress points are strength tested at over 400 lbs. GR1 is capable of holding more weight than any human should ruck with. Your laptop costs $2,000, that's why we made GR1 the best, and toughest laptop bag ever built. The separate compartment next to your back is extra reinforced to securely take a laptop into combat. And you can get it in and out easily. A removable, hard plastic frame sheet stabilizes the bombproof laptop compartment and allows you to carry more weight comfortably. If there were no frame sheet, the ruck would curl in on itself too much when you cinch it down on your shoulders. We built a false bottom in the bombproof laptop compartment so that when you set your ruck down, your laptop won't even notice. This adds labor to the build of the ruck, but it's necessary for max function.

3 rows of external and internal MOLLE webbing let you customize GR1 how you want. MOLLE is the same system used by our Armed Forces to attach life-saving sensitive equipment, such as ammunition. Ruck Plates (10, 20, 30, or 45 LB) work great in the laptop compartment (recommended). You can also put them in the large internal pocket or cinch them down to the internal MOLLE. Exit port for hydration bladder tube found under the top handle of the ruck. YKK zippers with silent, glove friendly zipper pulls constructed from parachute 550 cord. There is no good reason why zippers should make noise when rucking (or assaulting). Extra Padded Straps and Handle Shoulder straps and top handle are extra padded to carry heavier loads more comfortably. Easy to pack and organize. Special Forces medical rucks share a similar design. Three internal pockets: one large elastic pocket, one large mesh zippered pocket and one small go-to zippered pocket. External slant pocket provides quick access to keys, snacks, and other small items.

2" x 3" VELCRO Allows you to customize your GR1 with the patch of your choice. By military-spec submersion tests, waterproof means you could repeatedly submerge something and its contents would stay entirely dry. Our rucks are highly water resistant aka rainproof. "The GR1 is the best backpack I have ever owned," says Jon Wiley, lead designer for Google Search. "Made in the USA, bomb proof, with a life time guarantee, they're the kind of company we love to support. "No nonsense tactical looks that fit in just as well in the urban jungle as they do in the real one." "These GORUCK bags are some of the best things I have seen in a long time and I'm expecting big things from the brand." Marvel Comics' classic vigilante hero carries a GORUCK GR1 when waging his one-man war on crime. GR1 black is authorized for wear in Army ACU uniforms and in all equivalent uniforms in all the service branches. The Special Forces curse clearly states, the more space you have, the more stuff you’ll pack.
