GRAYL launches The Carry Project: modular, overbuilt packs for the harshest conditions

GRAYL, a leader in portable water purification and utilitarian design, expands into carry solutions with The Carry Project – a collection of meticulously engineered packs and bags built for the demands of everyday carry, travel and off-grid adventure. Designed for adaptability, the complete range is now available in the UK, with the collection featuring a modular pack system that gives users the flexibility to carry exactly what they need, when they need it – no wasted space, no compromises.

From backpacks to hip packs, bottle carriers to totes, every product in The Carry Project is built to withstand relentless use without sacrificing comfort or function. Crafted with 100% recycled Bluesign approved fabrics and premium hardware including YKK Aquaguard zippers, the collection offers intuitive organisation with an abundance of pockets, full-length dual-zippered access and seamless integration with GRAYL’s G-Mod Pouch System. Built-in hook-and-loop panels and mil-spec MOLLE attachments allow for customised loadouts, ensuring each user’s setup is tailored to their unique gear and lifestyle.

We built The Carry Project for our core customers – some of the most interesting, widely travelled people in the world,” said GRAYL Co-Founder Travis Merrigan. “With their adventurous lifestyle in mind, we cut no corners. We sourced the highest quality materials and put our passion into creating utilitarian packs designed for daily use and adventure – not just stashed in a gear closet for one big trip a year. We built these packs to adapt, organise and endure, just like the people who carry them.”

Self-sufficiency starts with staying hydrated, and every pack in The Carry Project is built with that in mind. Designed to accommodate hydration bladders, GRAYL’s GeoPress purifier bottles and any 32-40 fluid ounce bottle, these packs ensure adventurers can carry and access water with ease. Expanse BottleDrop pockets flex to securely hold large bottles when needed and tuck away neatly when not in use. The patent-pending BottleLock non-slip tie-down system adds even greater versatility, providing a stable, low-centre-of-gravity carry for bottles – or doubling as a secure spot for stashing a jacket, compact tent, or tripod.

Key products and highlights:

  • Hip Packs (1.5-4.5L): Designed for versatility, these packs offer ample zippered storage with G-Mod Pod Pouch expansion capabilities, a BottleLock Tie-Down System and BottleDrop pockets which expand for carrying bottles.
