Over the last year our team has been quietly developing the GTR-1 (giant tactical rucksack), a new category in backpacks.
This is the world's first backpack large enough and designed to hold a mid-sized computer tower and all of the other accessories a gamer has in their arsenal.
We launched the Original Crazzie Tactical Tower Gaming Backpack at E3 in Los Angeles on June 12, 2018 followed by our successful KickStarter launch in September 2018. After production completed in November we launched the backpack to the public in January 2019.
We've set out to design a backpack that is better than anything else available. Here are four reasons we think the GTR-1 is better than any other option out there to carry your gaming gear:
Large enough to hold a tower/gear up to 24 inches (60cm) tall by 23 inches wide (60cm) by 12 inches deep (30cm).
Yes, the primary compartment is huge, but we've also added four other compartments to carry your other gear from keyboards to headsets. There's room for just about everything, but the kitchen sink.
We realized that carrying all your large gear could be awkward, so to offset this we've positioned the straps and added plenty of cushioning to provide an ergonomic design that contours to your shoulders and back.
We know your gear has to be protected, period. The entire bag is constructed of military-grade 900D Ballistic Nylon that is tear and water resistant, and able to hold up to 70 pounds (31.75 kilos). Additionally, the primary compartment includes a soft-shell insert for added protection.
Here's a quick look at where we've been and where we're going.
