Chaard, that had me wondering too, guess Crassy84's link refers to Police Resources International - http://www.pri.uk.com/

Crassy84, thanks for the reply mate, got it now.

this looks like too good an offer - im looking for a 40-50L bag thats cheap and will hold enough for a few days in the wild.

reviews on amazon look OK - anyone else tried this out?

I did a quick review of a similar pack here:

...if it helps.

Nice review taffinch!

I'd love the predator 45 but even on ebay they can go for quite a lot!

 

[SGL70]

A MilTec Assault 36l might fit the bill?

 

[Dave]

Why would you suggest a £135 predator, when the OP clearly has set a budget of £40ish?

ha ha the side pouches/blanking strips cost £40 does that count

 

[Crassy84]

I got mine for £16 off ebay.

There were four on ebay last night going for next to nowt

The desert camo ones go for less.

I would not have wasted my time commenting if I knew they were all sold for crazy money. But I appreciate the confidence boost Dave mate

£16 is a steal. How do you get on with the lack of waist strap Crassy? I'm borrowing a mates this weekend to try it out.

Possibly I got out of bed on the wrong side. I didnt see a link to one for £16..

 

[Crassy84]

It isn't that bad to be fair mate. Provided you aren't carrying a tonne weight! I modded mine with an old waist strap and it worked ok. It's a good all round bag if you don't mind a slightly heavier bag

 

[Chaard]

hmm i just loaded it up quickly and tried it on and i must say I'm not that impressed

the shoulder straps were tight on my neck at the top and dug in on my ribs at the bottom.

ill try and have a play with the straps but i think it may designed for big burly army types and i have the build of a racing snake.

i loved the easy mod webbing though. made attaching my roll mat a piece of pi55!

Crassy84, what 'text\description' did you use in the search box on ebay? I'm not 'finding'.

Ta mate.

@Bowlander.............

These might be of interest - excellent packs. Got one myself some years ago. Tough + versatile, very comfy. Got the green one myself. Side pockets plus long pockets behind side pockets also accessible from outside.

Too many choices!!! Might just head to an army surplus store and try what they've got.

Bet you don't come out with just a rucksack.............

 

[Bowlander]

Nothing surer than that!
