Just recieved it here internationally. Only took two weeks from the UK, arrived as described, perfect condition, looks new from the supplier SAS Surplus 007 on ebay. First thoughts are its quite compact which is good. its specced as 55 to 60L on the internet, which seems about right. Being a top...

Hi gents, Im ex military myself but got out a long time before a lot of this fancy gear was on the market. Had a generic knowledge question relating to these pack types which are common. What are the advantages of this configuration with the two separated pouch sections on the back? Just trying...

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...

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...

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...

Hi folks, any suggestions for packs with a decent hipbelt in the 45-55 litre capacity and okay for a long spine. Im 6'3" but longish spine. My main pack was a Bergahus Vulcan but in my 50's now I dont go out for more than 3 days at a time( and usually just 1-2) and dont need that load carrying...

Just thought I would do a mini review of this backpack. Im not sure what version it is, I bought it new in 2011 in the UK. It worked well for me with intermittent use( only a few trips a year) for 13 years. Recently I noticed the material around the internal frame was fraying away, also one of...

Hi All, what do you consider the max weight or even max days in the feild running a pack without hip belt( so its all on the shoulders) like a Centurio 45 with or without side pockets? Now that I have retired my berghaus vulcan I am wondering whats realistic for a 45-60L pack. Assuming non UL...

Hi Gents, I do 1-3 day hikes in Australia, wet tropics climate. I moved away from heavy expedition packs as I realised I just dont need them anymore, and recently got a 45L Berghaus centurio, as yet untested overnight. I was considering getting a lighter weight daysack to carry in the centurio...

Hi gents, wondered at the capacity of these before buying. Though its hard to measure do you think they are measuring flush with the top of the opening or when the internal flap is extended all the way up around the gear. Might sound like a wierd finicky question but there would probably be 5-7...

Hi folks I am looking for a new 1 or 2 person self supporting inner, decent tub floor with generous mesh for hot weather. Fly color preferably for stealth camping, aka dark, OD, or similar to DD tarp colours would be fine. Don't need ultralight, but lightweight would be nice. Hammocks not an...

Hi Forum, I am from Australia, exmilitary, do a bit of rainforest hiking and camping here. I'm a big fan of euro and UK brands, the yanks make some good stuff too if you don't mind 500 internal compartments and mortgaging your house to afford the item. I also know good brands often have a junk...
