Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
mmm there are also pen clips (god only knows...) on the maxped as well....
guess im just wondering if one is super solid cordua and one is more light weight.... stitching differences etc...
i have a response pack ,..overloaded it and a bit of stitching gave way ,..my fault entirely i must add,..but still,..
i also have a fair bit of Maxp gear,....and you can abuse it and it will not fail in this area,...
not sure the extra spend is a viable one on such a small pack though ,...
mainly because an overloaded waistpack is not very comfortable,...
Oh and the buckle on the Snugpak WILL pop open if put under any strain,...
hope this helps,...
but for 12 quid,....it'd be rude not to really,....

well ill need it for a 6 month jungle exped, instead of carrying two utility pouches (PLCE) so it cant afford to fail under any circumstance. also if its going to last longer and i only have to splash out the once instead of a new one for each trip....
heheh extra bit... 4x as much!!!
like i said, what i want it for is a replacement for two utility pouches... do we recon they are of rough equal size?
Another contender?

Looks identical to the snugpak

that may have just answered my question actually!!!! maxp is 1000d, thats only 600d.... so it cant be the same! thank you!
You're assuming the Viper TacPac is the snugpak response tho' (which I admit it looks exactly the same bag)
ooooo but it doesnt!!! look closer! things like the viper one has pen holders either side of the front pocket and the snugpack does not... subtle differences but noticeable!
i just saw a photo that contradicts that... now im totally confused....
still the maxp is 1000d and the others seem to be 600d...
well no.... i know i want a better build quality over all so the logical choice is still the maxp
Well at least you'll have somewhere to clip your pen... let us know how you get on with it - it'd be nice to see a side by side comparison.
viper version doesnt seem to have a waist belt either like the other ones which is actually prob better for me as i want to attach it to a molle belt anyway..... mmmm....
How about this for a curveball?

Perhaps too big? Not really a waist bag either - but nice...
