Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Reason I ask is over the years have bought countless different Goretex jackets(all used,mostly ex Army) to replace my trusty Berghaus Driaqua Jacket I bought new 12-13 years ago.
The Berghaus while not Goretex I would say is the best jacket I have ever owned and none of the other jackets come...
Guess I should have asked before buying but an Ebay impulse buy(as if I need another dammn Rucksack/Bergen),bought what is labelled as a KARRIMOR JAGUAR S60-82 with detachable side pkts-any good?
Thanks
I have since managed to pick up a couple of the issue cadet smocks and apart from the material and buttons are identical and yes,there is quite a well known pic of a group of RM chaps during the Falklands wearing a similar smock.
No info Im afraid and cannot remember where I bought it,was bought thinking it was an Army Cadet Windproof Smock a good few years ago but turned out to be this-sorry cannot help any more.
Thanks
You are very welcome,will have to spend some time and figure out if mine is properly set up as when wearing the rucksack it doesnt feel right,as if something isnt fitted correctly.

Chuffed(short lived)today to get a 1984 dated Berghaus Crusader 2 only to find that one part of the internal alum frame has snapped.
ANy ideas if possible to repair or if not would a replacement frame be available from anywhere?
Many Thanks
Dug out both my old battered OG Cyclops Rocs and noticed slight differences in straps etc.
Is there an easy way to date/find out which is the earliest of the Bergens please?
Thanks
Bought the other day and when it arrived was amazed at how good condition it was,with all straps etc present.Only issue is as with most that the bloody dammn elastic has gone around the lid.
As another bonus when it arrived was to find it was an issue item(never knew they were) and named to a...
Rorkes Drift-I like it:o
Will post some pics up shortly.
Getting a bit confused(easily done) as my post seems to be on the 1st page of this thread and not the last???
