    which pack?

    Hey Ash, I've no experience with the others so i'm afraid so can't help you much with the other sacks. But I have recently bought the LA Salient and so far have not regretted it, you may have seen my thread where i was torn between it and the sabre 75. (Granted i've only had it a few days)...

    Lowe Alpine Salient or Karrimor Sabre 75? HELP!

    Hi all. First post here, have been getting a hell of a lot of helpful advice on kit from reading other threads so thanks for that. Basically I need any personal opinions or experience to help me make a final decision on 2 sturdy rucksacks I have had my eye on, one of which I hope will last me...
