@@luiscypher9657 you don’t have much experience with bags. Materials, build quality, country of origin. It’s worth every penny of $240.

This might be my first pair of Parkhurst boots, but I doubt it will be my last. I am loving these boots. Great quality, great construction, and killer looks!

As a brand that was all but dead a few years ago, they do what they need to do to keep the lights on and the bags being made. Though I would love to take the class if I had the time and resources.

@@uyt6uyt5 I fail to see how compassing means the bag is not quality. Most bags do not have a padded bottom. It makes them thicker, heavier, less packable/ storable, and more cumbersome. Even most laptop sleeves are not padded anymore. They are suspended.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA I am just expressing a concern, as the padding should be there to protect items in the bag. The fact that some bags lack bottom padding does not mean this is a good idea. All of my bags have padding on the bottom. However, the implementation of suspension across the entire bottom seems interesting.

@@bobjohnson6321 their rainbow selvedge is one of the coolest fabrics I’ve seen!

These actually fit me well. I was not wearing a belt in these shots. I had on a pair of mesh shorts when I was opening the box.....the jeans I had on earlier got soaked so I just took them off and put on my PJ's when I got home. If I went any smaller they most likely would have been restricting for a while. a 33 might have fit..... but I have been drinking a bunch of daddy juice and eating a lot of burritos as of late.... so I need to keep with my normal size.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA ok it sounds like size 31 would be good after a few wesrs for me

Standard vanity sizes are like 2.5 inches bigger than the number size. I wear a 32 x 32 in something like a Levi. That means the actual waist is 34.5". So if you wear a 30 waist in a Levi, you would probably wear a 32 in Gustin. The best thing to do is get a pair of jeans that fit and a measuring tape (cloth tape works best) and see what they measure out too and get the closest thing to that size. Sure they will stretch, but not 2.5". If you get a 30 waist, the actual waist will measure 30.5" around (give or take about a half an inch for a variance). You could also have someone measure your waist, but for best results, you will need a second person.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA do you think you could've wore a 32 in these because they look huge and plus the stretch will happen

@@biggdogfresh2263 a 32 would not fit me in these. They would have been way too small. They would not stretch out that much. Maybe they will stretch a half an inch, but not enough for me to wear them comfortably. These are the straight fit as well. So they are a bit looser cut. They also make these in a slim fit.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA ok final question a 33 would have fit then . just don't want them to big

@@biggdogfresh2263 a 33 might have fit. The 34 for me pretty much like any off the rack Levi jeans I have ever bought. I always wear a belt my pants, so a half an inch big is how I like them. I rather I can breath and wear a belt, than my jeans be too tight.

@@welshrecon have you had a normal GR1 with MOLLE? Those straps are thick! I don’t think the foam is any thicker, but the added webbing makes them much stiffer and feel thicker. I found the slick GR1 with the 210d backing incredibly comfortable right out of the gate. But everyone’s body is different. And I can totally see the bag not working well for everyone.

While I honestly can't say which jeans are my all time favorite jeans, I can say they are on my top 5. The first time I put a pair on, I said "Oh my god, these are amazing!"

@@jeffgrantMEDIA Right!? It was an immediate feeling that they were super comfy.

And after nearly a year of wear (my other two pair) are still in great shape and show little signs of wear.

@@Stormbrise it’s not really a toast bag. It has organization and it is much smaller than a tote bag. This is basically a sling bag that is really useful for a day out or a travel companion bag.

@@yogi_5150 I did read the instructions. There was nothing to state the pills extended even further out. I only hit the support once as I didn’t have it adjusted. After that I was fine. The second time I had the hammock bunched up under my body at first, which made me think I was on the suppers again. Aftet I fixed that it was golden.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA go look at other videos. They extended further out.

@@yogi_5150 i’ll check them out as soon as I get back from this adventure walk that my dog decided to take me on this morning

@@yogi_5150 thanks for the heads up. Now if now to wait for it to dry and hope it doesn’t rain again today and I can test/ film a short on modes and how to adjust.

@@willidevegt8831 the price is in Malaysian Ringot. Adjust to your currency hand they are very reasonably priced. They are not like Crumpler bags ( at least not the old Crumpler that made great bags. Not sure what the are like these days). They are more like the old BO Gear Sindrome.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA My currency is RM and what i ment is only the looks make me think of Crrumpler i dont know the quality of the bag Like i said before compared to bags like Maxpedition or Vanguard these bags arre over priced in my opinion and like i said before specially when youu do changes to the bag g/ add on the price very fast can go very high. for example the Northseeker i made a few changes to it to make it what comes standard with my Maxpedition falcon 2 which i payed for RM 750 but with the changes the Northseeker comes to RM 946,- which by it self is already RM 200,- more but beside the price difference the Maxpedition is still the better quality / stronger bag in other words the Northseeker is way over priced no offence just my observation and opinion

@@willidevegt8831 non offense taken. I don’t work for GR136, I just work with them. Patrick (the owner) is a great guy. I can say the bags are top quality, and the Northseeker is one of my favorite packs. For the price you are getting a custom hand made bag. And for you, build in your own country. I don’t currently own and Maxpedition, 5.11 and and other tactical based brands. But if a say the quality of GR136 had been better than the Rush 5.11 bags I’ve tested or messed with in the past. And certainly on par with Maxpedition. I think I had a Vangaurd camera bag in the distant past (before RUclips) and I did not like it.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA No doubt the bags are good that was not my point. Like i said before when you add on things to the bag for every simple little thing you have to pay and that is pay for example RRM 33 to add some zipper pulls those arre things come as standard with any tactical bags. And all those small little add on that you have to pay for and again those are mostly things that come as standard with other brands make the bag lose its value. As an FYI 5.11 can not compare to Maxpedition thats like comparing a proton to a Mercedes although not bad but by far not as good as. As for Vanguard camera bags i`m not sure if that is the same company that sells the tactical bags but it probably is. And yeah i agree if you look with tactical eyes to a Vanguard camera bag they are not the same but than again i think a photographer wants totally different things from his bag than some one who do survival training gin the jungle. One thing i like very much about the bag brand is that like you say is made in Malaysia i wish there are more Malaysian companies to make high quality EDC stuf

@@batmanbear don’t think I’ve been able to do more than one chin up my whole life! Hahaha I’m all leg muscle. (Distance runner)

@@jeffgrantMEDIA Well... squats & lunges help to loosen up the selvage jeans... so you've got that goin 😆 On a serious note though, do some negative chin-ups to help increase actual chin-ups. Running really fast from a problem only to be thwarted by a wall or fence means you might as well have just sat down. All able-bodied men should be able to pull themselves up over obstacles.

@@batmanbear an able body man than can run 27.5 miles without stopping ain’t bad.

@@user-rk2ww2cm4v that’s a hell of a deal!

@@CafeConDonut the one I tested in the video is a 16” MBP.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA thanks for the quick reply! Well this makes choosing one bag harder

@@CafeConDonut it’s easy….. buy them all!

@@jeffgrantMEDIA 🤣🤣 if only

@DeffoZappo thank you. I absolutely love these boots! Parkhurst knocked it out of the park with these boots.

@@joepmaas2637 that’s a good question. I think overall I would say the Matador beast would be a little bit more comfortable, just because it does have a wire frame going around the bag so there is some support, where the Gregory only has support in the foam back panel of the bag. But honestly, you wouldn’t go wrong with either bag, they’re both really comfortable and incredibly versatile bags. I think if you were to wear in the office, the mat would also fit in a little bit better just because it has a plain front with Daisy chain and it does not have the front stretch pocket that the nano has.

Thank you very much. And thanks for watching!

@@sham86ful at great! GR bags are awesome! I’ve been rocking them for a few years now. You’ll dig your pack!

It's about par for the course for a bag of this quality. It is USA made from premium materials, and quilting craftsmanship. Sure a bit of that TAD name goes into the price tag, but a solid Heritage/ waxed canvas bag will be in this price range.

@@malboro1600 thank you very much. They are wearing and aging well.

@@FactFinderGeneral that’s why I call it “weatherproof” and not water proof.

@@haelpark7871 thank you.

I'm happy I was able to help. Thanks for watching!

@@ryanr4181 I have a few IH pieces in addition to my Brave Star. Both are amazing quality. And they both have completely different feels and looks to them. I will say I love both.

@@kbynum28 thanks for watching!

@@rpow6861 good thing I live in the US and have never touched the stuff. I only drink beer.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA okay my man, just sayin tho'

I haven’t tried to put my camera cubes in it yet, but now as soon as I get home, I’m definitely going to try. Thanks for the heads up!

@@ParkerBinion that’s a great question. And one I have been thinking about since first using the TBB bag. Both are very similar in shape and design. I guess it would come down to usage. If I were going sleeper camera bag or I loved in a city, I would lean more TBB for the X50/ 500d blend. That would be more weather proof to protect my gear or keep my stuff dry not having a car. Living where I love (suburbs) and having a car and scooter, I would lean towards the Northseeker as an edc. The wildcard option really lets you get wild with a Northseeker. Both are amazing bags though and I’m happy I have each to use for what ever situation I find myself in.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA I really like the pockets on the inner lid of the Brown Buffalo clamshell. I got my Northseeker fuzzy, so the bottom of my bucket is velcro like the BB. I wish the opening of the rear concealed pocket on the Northseeker was as big as the BB Conceal 21 so it could be used for laptops. All that said, I LOVE the Northseeker.

Indeed they do! I find personally that I don't use side access pockets as much for QA. I gravitate towards the top of the bag. So using the inside top "mesh" pocket worked really well for me. But a few hook/loop pockets are great add-on to this bag.

@@4riftwalker if you are looking for a tote style backpack, there is the Fjallraven High Coast Totepack. I’ve not used that bag myself, but I have had my eye on it. If you are looking for. Good urban carry bag, there is the Rushfaster 22l EDC pack, or the Evergoods CHZ22 and CPL. I’ve not used the CPL, but I really like the CHZ. Great urban carry pack. I have reviews on both the Rushfastet and CHZ22 bags if you want to get a bit deeper into each of those bags.

@@whunderwhoiam2489 this bag functions far better than I expected. You don’t always need a ton of features in a bag. Sometimes that just makes them cluttered and unusable. I have only had the AER Fitpack, and while I lied it, it wasn’t a very great EDC bag. I sold it shortly after finishing my review.

@@skipper4114 do you happen to have a 26l GR1 with MOLLE you can weigh? I would like to include that stat in the full review if possible.

@@jeffgrantMEDIA unfortunately I don’t. I just have a 26L heritage. The Goruck website should have the specs for the reg 26L with Molle.

@@skipper4114 the site specs are always off a bit. I’m sure I can get someone to weigh it over in Carryology or TPP

@@jeffgrantMEDIA that’s so true. It’s funny how they would never post the heritage weight because they know it would scare some folks. These days I am more pro light weight. Cheers from CANADA 🇨🇦 Keep up the great work.

@@skipper4114 I’ll keep trotting along! Thanks for watching!

@@MrWesQ I’m about to swap into mine tonight. After giving it another once over, I think the lack of shoulder MOLLE will make the straps a little more comfortable and break in faster. I do like the MOLLE on the straps personally, but I always test bags with non destructive mods first. So time will tell if I send mine in as well. Keep me posted on how long it takes to get your bag back. I would like to k ow the tournament around time.

@@Nitephall is there any other redneck way?

Thus far I am very happy with these boots. I should be getting my first review out in a week or two. Stay tuned!

I would LOVE that! Maybe they will do a limited run in the future. They do tend to toss out a few limited releases of that jacket.

@@richlopez5896 good tip! Thanks for that.

My bag measures 19.25”

@@DeffoZappo it could always take it with you and use it as a blanket on the plane! Haha

@@Anywhere72 no need for that. Heat gun works. I cleaned it up after filming.

@@malboro1600 thank you very much! I am very happy with the fades I’m getting so far. I can’t wait to see how it looks at the 6 month mark

As Mike told me, wear the devil out of them!

@@jeffgrantMEDIA exactly!!:))

@@crack61616 thanks for watching!

@@jeffgrantMEDIA you have the savage green too?

@@crack61616 I do not. I may be getting another pair from Brave Star soon. Mike just got back into the country. Once he back to work he might send another pair to take a look at. What I get will depend on what’s in stock in my size in that fit.
