Gourdon Reviews

Just had delivered a couple of drybags and a Gourdon 30 ready for the Welsh Ride Thing in June. As always, fantastic service and really quick delivery. Cheers!!

Gourdon 20.
Great bag, and fantastic service from Alpkit.
Plus, you can iron-on reflective tape to make a brilliant commuter bag.
Cheers

have replaced a Gourdon 20 in Chilli… can cope without the window!! great product

Bought a 30 litre Stealthy Gourdon. Arrived within 36 hours of ordering; very quick for Royal Mail. The sack is exactly as described. Looks a bit on the delicate side, but it is just so light. Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for another great product.

i have the 30littre gordon in black which is fantastic i use it for shopping.i have just bought the 20litre gordon drybag in jaffa to use as a rucksack for day hikes the fabric looks durable i love the color the side pockets and webbing are a great idea very usefull.if this was made under another name it would be three times the price.

Arrived within 24 hours of ordering. Excellent service. Tried the Gourdon on a 2 hour walk with a reasonable load. Was surprisingly comfortable. Yet to use in the rain but looks great and well made. Would like to check out the larger sized waterproof rucksacks for backpacking when they come out later in the year.

Got the G30 after seeing a friends G20, now I have to say I was suspicious about the window but these have been put to rest as I have found the window pretty useful.

The pack itself is well made and very light and has been comfy at all times when in use and not one drop of water has got through to any kit inside.

The one negative I can see is use of a bladder as the drinking tube usually would be routed out the top of the bag and not the bottom where the hole is on the G30.

I would like to see if things like bungees and pockets on the outer would be like.

I have to say though another great bit of Alpkit gear. I will be buying more

Bought a Gourdon 20 for my trip to New Zealand. It’s a great rucksack, really comfortable and kept all my gear nice and dry (really got rained on hard at Mount Cook) and it looks magnificent in Lego Blue!

I have a Gourdon 30 (in red) and use it for cycle commuting and as a day sack.

I can’t fault it for pure functionality as even in the most atrocious weather it keeps everything dry and it’s really light and comfortable to wear on and off the bike.

In these dark months though, I have taken to wrapping it in a hi-viz rucksac cover when cycling as even the bright red can’t be seen at night.

I agree with some of the other reviewers that some extra options (like hi-viz stripes or external mesh pockets on the bigger bags) would be great, but not at the expense of keeping these excellent bags such good quality and value.

I might just have to get a G20 and some hi-viz fabric and hack it myself.

I took my Gourdon 20 litre out for the first time over the weekend and it was unbelievable.

When I purchased the pack I was expected something useful but not special, just a quick grab bag. After trying it on and packing it with standard day stuff I was astonished at the comfort of the straps. It sat perfectly for what is essentially a basic dry sack with some rucksack straps whacked on!

I shouldn’t have expected anything less from Alpkit!
