Gourdon Reviews

Like the idea of the Gourdons. Trying to decide which size to go for - how do the back lengths (ie length between top shoulder strap attachment & waist belt) vary between the sizes? I’m quite tall & find most regular daysacks too short.
Also, do you plan to add the elastics now on the 20l to the other sizes?

What colour is Tarmac exactly?

Love the bag have a 30 litre that i’ve used for winter mountaineering because it is just so light and completely snow proof!

Wanting a 20 litre to keep out the Manchester rain, Should be a tough challenge!

Superb sack at a bargain price.  Please can we have some gear loops, not being able to attach an ice axe is a real pain.

When are you getting more G20 ?
All colours show out of stock now…

I’m interested at putting a G20 to work on weekdays as a waterproof bike pannier for my laptop while commuting.

Can you give me a better idea of the dimensions - 71cm diameter doesn’t seem right for a bag that’s 48cm high.

Cheers!

Despite, “The webbing was changed last year so this [sliggage] is no longer an issue.”

I must report that on my new G20, this issue of strap slippage is very much alive and slipping. I have only used the bag once thus far but was continually needing to tighten the waist strap and the shoulder straps. My frustration was spared by the fact that it is otherwise a great bit of kit at a “rude not to” price.

20L great! Still a bit big for biking, any plants to do a smaller one in the same vein as the 20L?

Usual A1 Alpkit service. It is brill, easy to use, great with the compression elastic. Glad to have bought it.

30L is great bag for the price
BUT
Shoulder staps set too narrow - so can’t have them cinched right up and buckles still slip anyway, all of which makes chest strap ride too high.
That said, at these prices, I’ll probably get one of the new 20L models for the mesh pockets and try it with an OMM chest pouch to try and balance it up and provide a “quick access” pocket.

Ordered when the wee bag went on sale, he’s a wee smasher,does what he’s told and looks the part,and the time from when bought to arriving at my door Faster than a fast thing cheers Kenny ... go on buy one you ain’t gonna loose out here
