Gourdon Reviews

Mart, a lot of people have used their G20 like that. I saw a lot at the Welsh Ride Thing last weekend, some people use bungie cords or roofrack straps. If you have a saddle mounted rack you may be able to slide it into the back system for added stability. This is what I did on a recent trip to Italy.. http://www.melloblocco.it/notizie/una-grande-bellissima-storia-del-melloblocco/?lang=en

Exactly what I was looking for - incredible price, superb delivery and a simply but brilliantly functional rucksack. You are even better than you say on the tin !

Any one got any info on transforming a Gourdon into a rear pannier bag? I imagine someone has done it - thought I could nick someone’s ideas!

In terms of Review, I’ve had a Gourdon 25 for about 2 years - still going strong, use it all the time. Can’t wait for an excuse to buy another.

I got the Gourdon 20 for Christmas and think it’s a great bag. It’s perfect for a day sport climbing - I can fit a 60m single rope, 10 quickdraws, harness, slings, belay device, carabiners and a guide book in the sack (just) and attach a helmet, rock shoes and a jacket to the outside along with a water bottle and chalk bag in the mesh pockets. It’s comfortable and stable on your back and seems to be holding up pretty well to any abuse it gets.

Excellent design and well thought out, use it 3 or 4 times a week when I cycle down to gig training, really good quality - Just what I needed…..how did you know?

Ordered the 30L Gourdon, the same day Alpkit emailed to say the order had processed and would be shipped, next day it arrived, excellent service. Other positive reviews on here sum up my favourable first impressions of the Gourdon, a great looking piece of kit.

I used these bags for a drive across the world.  I love them - light, colour coded (so children know whose bag is whose), pack easily (not too many bulging bits).  I now give them as presents to friends for every wilderness trip I organise.  But more colours please!!

Got my father one for use on his motorbike -I have since used it at festivals, sailing and some wet weather hiking. Surprisingly comfy - I am sure that you cab get more in than 30 litres and you can get a motorcycle helmet in it!  Fantastic.

Just got a new Tomato colour 20l bag - it looks awesome, can’t wait to test it out in some heavy rain!

Spectacular quick delivery as well!

Just received my Gourdon 20 today.
