anyone ever seen the adjustable frame bergen before? think thats more in my price range, but if its no better than a long back in regards to where the belt sits its no point.
 
On the subject of strange Ebay photos....

I'm not sure this is the best one to get the punters into buying your daysack...

can't open the listing computer is being naff, but the gallery pic is a guy in full combat clothing and helmet? in his kitchen? is that the one? he's been selling all sorts of stuff like combat jackets and assualt vest using the same pose all beret'd up. looks like he's relieving himself up his wife's cooker...they've been having problems. he's off on a 6 month deployment and she's driven him mad on leave...time for pay back!
 
just got an email back about the trial adjustable bergen, not very in depth. yes its genuine, its a trial bergen, it has no labels.
very good, like it says in the listing then.
 
Finally remembered to get a pic of my bergen loaded this weekend, yet another photo of a ROC, old hat now I know...

Cheers fellas. I got it off ebay last October, at first I thought 'ya, another bergen, looks good.' Gotta say the more I use it the more I like it and I've used it a lot now, loving the oldschool Berghaus! That Dutch roll mat is huge so side load seems to be the way forward. Went out in the sand dunes this weekend and it got real cold the first night, I was glad I loaded it, the side pouch will come off now as it's warming up.

It's got a severe case of impotent lid syndrome, I'll soon fix that a la Bodge...
 
here are another couple of pics of the terrible weather encountered on my windermere trip, not only did i give the crusader bergen a go, amongst a sea of modern, hi tech packs, but out came one of my old windproof smocks. until it went chips up, and the nasty orange crisp packet had to come out. bergen worked fine tho! also a pic of what i didn't see, the weather that would have had major issues with me being soaked thru from condensation.

Hey, on the bright side (pun intended :D), the jacket could serve as an signaling device. I like the jacket. It is a good action photo of everyone "buttoned up".

This one is for you RS: In keeping with the nostalgia, though early 70s, Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop".
