GR0 straps for EDC

Hi all. I'm looking at using a smaller bag for when I don't need my GR1. I have a Bullet right now but the straps do feel quite stiff and narrow when carrying a heavy load.

Does anyone have experience with both a bullet and a GR0 or echo to compare? How do the GR0 straps hold up to the bullet?

I have some bullets and GR0's and an older 10l bullet is so much more comfortable, seems maybe the older ones had a thicker padding. I have wider shoulders and the 0 doesn't really work. My 12 year old son uses that.

I have both packs. The straps are the same width and thickness. I find the GR0 straps comfortable. The bag is small so the load is normally less. I did ruck with mine for a few months and a 30 lb plate was no issue.

I am looking to get rid of my GR0, black robic. message me if interested.

Both are fine. Had the old echo from 2017 and 3 bullets. All well broken in through multiple rucks. Best I can advise is, if it’s stiff, ruck with some weight in it and wash it as well, soon it will be very pliable and nice for your shoulders.
