I had a 80-130 Karrimor i didnt get on with it at all, i ended up giving it to my brother, i found the straps and belt not great fitting, and over padded(sounds daft) but due to this i didnt feel they sat right on me, didnt either rate the quality for the price the straps were not the greatest quality webbing(for instance the issue plce stuff is much more robust)the actual webbing used on the waist pad is in two parts joined together by a strip of plastic sheeting, to me there are definately better large packs out there, but this is just my personnel opinion.
just watched that review, mine was a older design in that it didnt have all the molle loops on the front of it.
Right now i have a Lowe alpine salient, which i have since 1992, it still looks brand new (some of the buckles have broken off).
But I need a bigger bag, one between 80 to 100L
Since i have been in the army for 17 years i have a hard time buying something else that is not a army like backpack.
I'm open for ideas, but i'm looking for:
big bag 80L and up
Olive green
cordura 750 and up
I would like to have a floating lid.
Good compression
Small side pockets (I dont like big side pocket, i rather have small side pockets, and some more of them instead.)
(more to come
)
I would really like to have the Lowe alpine Saracen, but its been discontinued, and is hard to get, even second hand.
