    Hi Got the brand new one for £80. Saving £20 on used without a lifetime guarantee was not the best deal so went for a new one. This weekend will test it in Dartmoor!!! [emoji16] Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

    Hi all! Finally I've got a rucksack. I went for a Berghaus Ridgeway 65. So far I'm really happy with it. Can't feel much weight when packed and suspension system is just amazing. Will post some review and comparison with my other packs after tests ( in 2 weeks hopefully). Thank you all once...

    No worries :) That's what I usually do - last sec bid :) C7 is heavy comparing to Ridgeway. Imo it is not worth paying £50 for pack if you can get a new one for 70/80. But still trying to get some bergain [emoji4] Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

    I did my research and from all available packs, mainly Berghaus and apparently if lucky you can get trailhead 65 or ridgeway 65 for around £50. I've read on their website that lifetime warranty applies for rucksacks. Anyone checked it and has some experience if it is worth spending another £30...

    I am waiting for this trailhead so please don't bid! One more day to go and i hope to get it [emoji3][emoji6]! Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk I am not sure which one will be more comfy but because of the adjustable back system of the Berghaus, this might be the one... I will confirm...

    Well said. I used to carry tactical vests and suitable military packs. They are fine for ASG, paintball and similar combat trainings however imo not for hiking and camping. I like to sleep in a wildness, be on my own, but like to feel comfortable and have a proper cushion and hip support...

    Seems to me that older rucksacks are around 1kg heavier than modern ones(berghaus). Thank you all for very educational and comprehensive answers and advices! Will keep my eyes on Trailhead and Ridgeway packs within my price range :) Good stuff! Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

They are good for a 2 day trips, but need something bigger for longer hike. I do not like to keep anything a outside a...
