I'm after a new bag, and I'm torr between the two. I have a 5.11 patrol ready bag to keep in the car, which is very good. But I don't know about a rucksack? I like the idea of the lightness of the karrimor. What do you guys recommend?

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.
Just be for general over night camping use, although it is worth mentioning that sometimes when on a walk I'll take it and fill it full with birch logs for the fire.
I've got and extensively used both a karrimor delta 35 and a 5.11 rush 24. The Rush 24 is, to be honest, supremely better in most aspects, but is nonetheless heavier and a touch more fussy. It would definitely get my vote though, but that's not to say the Karrimor isn't excellent, its just a little outclassed by the 5.11 being an immense daysack.
The 5.11 has a lot more compartments, and has more of a defined form/structure on your back. The main compartment also unzips deeper so it is easier to delve into the bottom of it. If you do go for the karrimor, the delta 35 is much closer in capacity to the rush 24 rather than the Delta 25.

Agreed, I have used the 5.11 for a year or so now
the only thing against the 5.11 is the lack of waterproofing
because it has the clam opening style and standard (rather than waterproof) zips open to the elements it is not waterproof.
I took it out on a very wet day with a rain ruck sack cover on which worked fine except for the glasses pocket on the top was exposed and water leaked in and soaked the contents. the additional problem is that pocket backs onto the main compartment with no internal waterproofing so, although it didn't happen to me, it would be possible to get the contents in the main pack wet even when using a cover. it may be I needed a slightly bigger cover?
Don't get me wrong though, the 5.11 is great and I have not found a better day pack yet. just be aware of the limitations as well...

I have the Condor Convoy. It's 22 litre with clam shell opening and lots of compartments.
It may be a cheaper option if you are on a budget.

I have a 5.11 rush 12 and it is absolutely bomb proof, and the 24 is just a slightly bigger version of the 12.
I can't fault it at all, it's a great bit of kit
