Thanks fellas I will take a look. No Camo for this one. Budget is about 80euros or equivalent

Chasing a new daypack folks, something that can accompany me both on hikes and ride the train. Thanks for any suggestions. Doesn't need to be too tough but ultralight material probably not preferred as it will get pushed through jungle some trips. black, forest or OD colour required I have a...

Btw despite being lighter the plce packs also seem bigger volume. Are they higher capacity than the sting packs in practice? Interestingly I have seen both 10l and 15l listed for rocket pouches on UK bergens but this may be totally different pouch types. Btw thanks again for your assistance with...

Well I just bought a gen 2 sting pack from sas surplus I think they are called. Forum member lostplanet has been extremely helpful on direct messages. as has every one on the thread. Thanks again fellas. On a new adventure now with a more compact and lighter pack than the old berghaus Vulcan and...

Thanks fellas, I wondered if the finish is an IR/night vision resistant coating they might have added to the second versions. I just read an online reviewer who believes this is the case, so the Awry packs may actually have a tactical advantage over the originals. Not that I will personally need...

Hi gents, looking at a low alpine sting in Dutch DPU. it seems to be pretty popular on youtube, wondered what thoughts are for thick green forests. Im in tropical rainforest, no direct species comparison in Europe but some of your dark leafy green forests in the UK look similar from photos...

Thanks mate, great pics. I mentioned it elsewhere as well, what are your thoughts on the surface of the Awry packs. Some reviewers say they are quite a bit shinier than the low alpine versions. Can see above the PLCE does look more understated and matt appearance, or maybe its just older

How shiny is the DPM print on the Awry ones fellas? Some reviews say its markedly more reflective in sunlight than the original Lowe alpine generation. Id assume its not overly shiny since its being used to camoflage soldiers. Probably a very objective question. I guess I dont want to stand out...

Yes good estimate, this was supplyandoutdoors email I just got "The Lowe alpine bags we currently have are like new condition, very little use if any on some,. the bags weigh around 2.5kg empty with no side pockets, side pockets weigh around 300g each, so total weight around 3.1 kg with side...

Thanks I saw the thread and its sort of funny. The OP asked for actual weights being he had heard several different weights like 1.7, 2.8, 3.4 previously ......and then got answers saying 1.5, 2.042, 2.6 etc LOL. So it didnt really clear anything up for anyone . I just got an email back from...

Now I just have to find a new home for an as new Berghaus Centurio 45....no one has really heard of them in Australia, very hard to sell I think

The Lowe Alpine sting just kicked another major goal for me, you guys are legends for suggesting it. It has those side pouches( not the rocket pouches) the integral pouch like flap sewn into the lower sides of the pack. Perfect for a carbine when hunting, positioned muzzle down.

going to try and get a definitive weight on the original Low alpine stings as if its 3kg+ I wont go for that version. Not much point dropping back from a 3.1kg berghaus Vulcan with 100L capacity to a pack 25L smaller at the same weight... defeats the purpose. The Awry despite the video...

I have another thread going which is very helpful and Ive decided on a Lowe Alpine sting. Question now is whether to aim for one of the branded originals or the Awry versions made for the Dutch army. Just found a fairly good youtube review online which outlines main differences in the packs, I...

Thanks mate, I will ask them for a shipping quote as well. The LA Saracen wow, thats a big one. yeah Ive retired a similar monster a Berghaus Vulcan recently as dont really need that capacity anymore.

Thanks Stewy that LA airzone pack bit small too thin material in this situation mate, but nice pack. Well Ive settled on a Lowe Alpine Sting. Just emailed endicotts in the UK as I saw they have some for sale and I saw good reviews online from this store. has anyone used them before? From what...

Yes seems to be some variance in weight reports. Anywhere from 2kg to 3.5. There was another thread I found that average measurements were more in the mid 2kg's range. Any of that range is fine by me. I have set my sights on it, now just to find one

Found one here fellas. Anyone used this store before? https://www.xmilitarystore.com/en/lowe-alpine-sting

Thanks guys, Im leaning to the lowe alpine sting. Can anyone suggest where to get one? A couple of our disposals/outdoors stores in Australia actually have them in catalogue but all are zero stock for the forseeable future. I have bought from UK based retailers before, any suggestions as I am...

Thanks guys. should clarify it needs to be at least 500D all over to survive rainforest, preferably 1000D so the seirra designs and Exped would be out.
