i have been looking for sometime for a suitable daysack of sorts.. and until now have been fruitless in my search.. i knew of the karrimor saber 30 but it was out of my price range at £69.99, that is, until now. After a tip off from Ranger i went along to Sports World in Plymouth and picked one up for an amazing £20.99 :yikes: now we are talking value for money! :biggthump
Features:
Chest and Hip Straps
Back cooling system thing..
Two haul loops (too one of which you can see my axe attached)
One main compartment 30l
Deceptivly large pocket in hood
Compression straps
im not a big fan of packs with lots of compartments so i like this design of "one big pocket"
i packed it up before i went and jaunt yesterday, only a short one but it preformed well.. the pack sits high on my back.. but i prefer this style of back pack and found it comfortable with the hip and chest straps not constricting me at all! being used to carrying a panther 70 i found saber 30 a strangely small thing to have on my back and it was this which added to my surprise at how much i managed to pack in it!
Wich was this:
Packed in it:
Hootchie
Bivi bag
Sleeping bag
GB axe
FAK & Water Purification
Trek Towel
Bandanna
Head Torch
BRK&T North Star
Knife Fork Spoon
Water bottle
Folding Saw
Mora
10m Para Cord
Survival tin
Compass
Whistle
Fire Kit
Billy Can
Now i couldn't quite fit my Therm-a-Rest in but there it almost went in and with out it there was "room to spare" which i was amazed by i could use this as space for either my water prof or food which would easily have fitted in and i could also carry my Therm-a-Rest on the outside. So as you can see this is somewhat more that a "DAY" sack its becoming more of a weekend/week sack i have fitted in here what i would normally fit in to me 70ltr pack with the exception of my Kata which obviously takes a lot of room, though not 40ltr :yikes: i am frankly stumped as to how it all went in with ease!
i have yet to give it a proper abusing, but we all know karrimor and what to expect from them! so i don't expect that it will ware easily!
i will keep you all posted on any developments!!
we have heard lately that karrimor might well be "no more" so get down to Sports World now
out of interest does anyone know what axe i have? i cant remember the model its quite small but not a mini!
