Today, we are taking a look at the brand-new Grayl Carry Project Bags! I have been quietly working on this project, behind the scenes with Grayl, for a couple of months and am beyond excited to talk about it now. So, let’s dive in and take a quick look at the new Hip Pack and Bottle Sling from Grayl in today’s video…
Would you like to see my full loadouts for these bags in another video?

Grayl Bags & Bottle Slings
So, here is the skinny about the new Grayl Carry Project:
- 6 New Hip Packs divided between 2 lines:
The “Mission” line includes the maximum amount of pockets & webbing.
The “Transport” line is slimmed down for folks who need a sleeker bag. - Which one should you choose?
Maybe I should do a full video about this? But to put it simply, the Mission Line is what I would choose for outdoor use. And I would choose the Transport Line for urban/everyday use. - NEW Bottle Slings:
Okay, I was SUPER excited about the new bottle slings when they showed up at my door! I love a good “water bottle kit”…And this bag is going to be the perfect platform to build upon for this purpose. - How did I get all of these bags so early?
I am one of Grayl’s photographers for this project. I specialize in studio photography, so I did a lot of their initial top-down photos, like the ones you see in this article.

Grayl Bag Reviews
While I have had these bags for several months, I have not compiled a lot of in-field thoughts on them just yet (only because I’ve had to keep them pretty, neat & clean for the studio photos…I’ve already dirtied a couple up at this point though). That said, I do have some initial thoughts to share with you…
- Pockets & G-Mod Pouches:
The modularity of this system has been a LOT of fun to work with. Not only is the pocket layout fantastic across all the bags, but the new G-Mod Pods are rad! You can subdivide little “kits” into these pods and attach them to multiple places on the new bags. - Quality:
I have been impressed by the buckles, zippers, fabrics, and stitching on the new Grayl Carry Project Bags. These are high-quality bags that should last a long while and stand up to some serious use in the field. - Comfort:
I haven’t had a chance to use these as much as I would like yet. However, they are very comfortable to carry based on my in-field usage so far. The hip packs in particular have a HUGE lumbar pad, which reminds me of a high-end hiking backpack. Everything on the bags ride comfortably, cinch down tight, and stays where they need to be. - Overall Design:
Watch the video above to hear my full thoughts. But, I love these designs!
