Berghaus Vulcan or Vulcan II

[KevinH]

Afternoon

Now I'm gonna be really dumb here!!

Is there a difference between the Vulcan and Vulcan II?

I have the Maxpedition Condor II for day trips and overnighters but am looking for a good size pack for longer outings. The Vulcan, as we all know has a good rep etc. I can get a Vulcan II in size 3, only a couple left at £139 (if they are as good as the Vulcan i want to order quickly) but cant get a Vulcan hence the question.

Also looking at the big Karrimor Sabre, any other suggestions?

AFAIK the only difference between the Vulcan and Vulcan II is the Vulcan accepts PLCE compatible Zip on pouches.

The Vulcan II accepts Berghaus's own MMPS compatible Zip on Pouches....


HTH

Nice one, couldnt find any info on it!!

I was worried when I ordered it, thought I had made a mistake. If thats the only thing then happy days.

I have a vulcanII and the pockets from my sabre fit it and they are PLCE zips.

The problem is that Berghaus have ended up with a very confusing name for the Vulcan.

The original Vulcan used the then new Cyclops II back system so the pack was called a Berghaus Vulcan Cyclops II that's stitched on to mine. It takes the PLCE type pouches..

With the introduction of the Berghaus MMPS. Berghaus have seemingly decided to reconfigure the Vulcan to accept the MMPS side pockets.. This pack is the Vulcan II
