Which rucksack #2

[Angry Pirate]

Can I throw.a spanner in the works and suggest the Lowe Alpine Sting. I know that 55 litres is big for day stuff but you can cinch it down with the compression side straps, you can add side pockets for modularity, it has a decent back system with padded hip belt and it was built for the dutch army so its built to be squaddie-proof. You can pick them up for 40 notes at the mo. Downside is they are DPM coloured which does put some folk off.
A mate uses one amd he really rates it (despite being notoriously picky). I'd be tempted myself if I didn't have a very old Berghaus Vulcan for longer trips and a wee molle pack for days.

I reckon I'll go for the Tasmanian Tiger Light 35l pack. What do you guys think?

I'm not sure I'd want to overload it with the basic waist belt that it's got.

Can the Karrimor Sabre 30 be fitted with PLCE side pouches????

 

[AndyD]

Don't know about the 30 but the 45 can.

Don't know about the 30 but the 45 can.

And you can zip the PLCE side pouch zips together on the 45 to reduce the internal volume if you wish.

No, there's no zips for them, but there's molle on the sides for smaller pouches which are cheap to buy, I got one for each side for a tenner each delivered; PLCE pockets would defeat the idea of this pack, two of them would be nearly 60% of the volume of it..................if you want that size of a thing, buy the 45, you can get a military desert one new for fifty quid - in fact I've got a spare one!

If I had a spare £50 I'd have that!
