Have to be honest tho GR2 is overkill for most situations. Nebula is probably more than enough. It’s not worth it for most people to spend $400 on a backpack, but I tend to buy more backpacks until I have my ultimate backpack so it makes sense for me to drop that kind of money. So far my craze has stopped since I bought my GR2 in June 2021.

I recommend Goruck GR2. It meets every requirements you listed and is built like a tank and it looks nice. I use it for work, trips less than three days, and grocery shopping. This is my one backpack for everything and I don’t plan to buy another backpack for the next ten years.

Con: expensive

how did you do the last one?

Thanks for this reminder!

It seems to have some cool products but I think their belts are not compatible with suits. I already have what they have.

yea they seem to hav some good options!

Thanks for the rec but I think the AE belts are not worth the price they are charging.

Noticed the options on eBay are much cheaper than the equivalents on Etsy!

Yea I've had cobblers done that for me, but they only know how to do holes that are perfectly round, you can even buy those hole punchers yourself. Punching extra hole will leave too many holes on the other side so that's my last resort.

I plan to use the two pair of belts at least four days a week, how often do you use yours? It could be a great idea to check out goodwill, thanks for the tip.

I’ll take a look. Thanks!

They look cool but I need leather belts

Their belts look really good but I'm afraid they would not fit dress pants. 1.5 inches are too wide for dress pants.
