Our take on the Gruv Gear Electric Guitar Kapsulite Plus Case

The Gruv Gear Kapsulite Plus is a gig bag built like a hard case: a waterproof exo-shell over a thick layer of expanded polystyrene, with a molded neck brace holding the guitar in place. It fits most electric guitars and basses and weighs roughly half what a comparable hard case does. Wide padded shoulder straps and multiple handles make it easy to carry through airports. It is aimed at players who fly or tour and want hard-case protection without the bulk.

Questions and answers

Is the Kapsulite Plus worth it over a regular gig bag?
If you fly or tour with your guitar, yes. The exo-shell, polystyrene layer and neck brace give protection closer to a hard case, and it still carries like a bag. For local gigs a cheaper padded bag is enough.
Will it fit my electric guitar or bass?
It is sized for most electric guitars and basses, with a 13-inch upper bout and a molded neck brace. Measure your case length and upper bout before buying, since long-scale basses and offset shapes can be tight.
Can I take it as a carry-on on a plane?
It is built for air travel, but airline carry-on limits vary. Check your carrier's dimensions against the external size of about 104 cm long by 43.6 cm wide before you fly.
How much lighter is it than a hard case?
Gruv Gear says it is nearly 50% lighter than comparable hard cases. That matters most on long walks through terminals and up stairs.
Is it really waterproof?
The exo-shell is described as waterproof, so rain and spills should roll off. The zippers are the usual weak point, so dry the bag before opening it after heavy rain.
When is the best time to buy it?
Prices on gig bags tend to dip during holiday sales and back-to-school promotions. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.
