GoRuck Bullet 15 Review
"Burly. Compact. "
A favorite for compact everyday carry. Built solid, super rugged, easily identifiable aesthetic. Loved the world over.
- Updated version available with laptop compartment… a solid upgrade.
- Materials feel great (those straps!).
- Front pocket is a little lame in use due to it’s length.

What I like
- One of the nicest bags to use. So simple.
- Super rigid, stiff padded straps. Some of the best straps in the world.
- Opens clamshell all the way, so you can see all your capacity.
- Excellent materials and zippers, YKK #10 reverse coil.
- The newer version adds a laptop pocket in the back.
- If I could only have one small bag, I'd probably pick this one.
Watch for
- The front pocket is super deep, so small stuff sinks to the bottom. I leave it open and use it as quick access.
- The original version has no separate laptop compartment.
- The newer laptop pocket doesn't fit my 16". A 14" will likely work.
- Reverse coil zippers are a little harder to move.
- One big compartment, so you'll want pouches.
Specs
- 15L, 10 x 18.5 x 5.5 in.
- 1000D Cordura body, 210D Cordura back panel, silent-pull YKK zippers.
