NOBULL Waxed Canvas Backpack: A "GORUCK Guy" Review of a GR1 competitor

[@erictrinh13]

Would love a thorough review like this one with the Nobull Duffleback! It’s an even larger bag, but not sure what your thoughts on it would be. Would be best for traveling I think. Thanks!

[@JBOutside1]

Just being honest, the shape of the NoBull was a turnoff and the duffleback doesn’t look much different. The loud branding also doesn’t do it for me.

Great review- looking for a bag I can use while riding my motorcycle to the gym.

[@JBOutside1]

Able Carry Daily or Radio Ruck are what I use for that situation

[@alerma7]

Hi, great review!. Does the bag stand on its own so you can easily access your equipment on a crossfit setting? Or must one lay flat to access all items? Thank you

[@JBOutside1]

Not really. It’s too shallow of a bag to stand reliably

[@alerma7]

@@JBOutside1 Thank you!

[@svenw2176]

How easy or difficult is it to keep the canvas clean? Thanks

[@JBOutside1]

Not bad. Easy to clean. Plus anything else is called “patina” 😜

What hat is that? I have the goruck version, but my son wants one where he can display his patches, and he likes the trucker look. Thanks

[@JBOutside1]

This hat is made by a local company, Loyalty Patch, in Newnan, GA. loyaltypatch.com/ball-cap-camouflage-with-tan-mesh/

Interesting pack. Not sure I like the look of the NOBULL. Review a 5.11 sometime. I have the 5.11 Urban Ruck and really like it

[@JBOutside1]

Which pack by 5.11?

[@KI4ASK]

@@JBOutside1 any of the rush series. Been looking at the Rush 72. I love GORUCK for working out but think I prefer EDC and purposeful carry packs with more ways to organize (pockets and such). The Rush series seems rugged and organized

[@JBOutside1]

@@KI4ASK Man, that’s a lot of Molle!

[@KI4ASK]

@@JBOutside1 yeah a little overkill but a nice pack

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Would this bag fit underneath an airplane seat?

[@JBOutside1]

Yes

[@convexlobster]

Nice review! Would this make a good laptop bag?

[@JBOutside1]

If the style and price speaks to you, yes the compartment in the back will fit and protect a laptop. My recommendation however is a GORUCK GR1

Looks like a mini fridge hehe, wouldn’t carry this to work everyday, for traveling maybe.

[@JBOutside1]

Haha

[@mochamz-i]

Will it be big for me?

[@JBOutside1]

🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m 5’9” for comparison
