[norfolkjohn]

Hi all, well in my quest to get all my gear together,the one item i was looking for was a decent sack having today visit my local surplus store i mentioned this,and have been offered a karrimor sf 45.
So now the questions. Anybody using one, if so how do you get on with them.
The one he has on hold for me is in dessert camo ?
which lead' s to second question should i leave it as it is and let nature & elements do there work try to tone colour down myself.
p.s perhaps i should mention the price to me as a regular punter,
45.00 pounds

I use the Sabre 45 and have done so for years , great piece of Kit and bombproof , I have the pockets so can adapt the pack to differant scenarios . Mine is olive green but I think a Desert camo one could be darkened down with a bit of spray paint if needed or just left to look really "alli" and the price is V good too IMHO

I like the Sabre 45 and tend to grab it for long weekenders when I'm not in the canoe, plenty of room for all my spring/summer/autumn kit.

£45 is a good price if it's in good nick

I have one two and love it, but it's not a lightweight option if you are covering much distance.

Hi Rabbbitsmacker,This was a one off ! as it was in dessert camo and has no side panels ?
He gets no call for dessert camo his big sellers being O/D or DPM.
He is always getting new stock in store, IF he should have another one at a bargain price, would you be interested ?
