Check these out

Works out at £10.67 delivered. I got a couple and they're good kit and a fraction of the cost of Maxpedition ones. The seller also does Camelbak type hydration packs and everything. The one downside is that his delivery is a bit slow, but if your in no hurry...Job done !!

I have one of those in German Flecktarn. A good bag for a bimble with brew kit!

I carry my Crusader cook kit & FAK in mine with room to spare.

A well made piece of kit IMHO.

Just ordered a couple on your recomendation! Can't really go wrong at that price wanted a maxipedition for ages but couldn't justufy the price.

Are they excact copies, e.g same dimensions and materials. They'll make a good little bimble bag when out and about.

Thanks very much for the heads up.

I just got the Response Pack clone from the same seller, worked out something like £9.46
delivered. Very well made and only took about 12 days to get here. - I've just got to pack it now!

Looks exactly the same. Except for a few patches of velcro and the padding on the shoulder strap. Good find.

Would one take an Ikea hobbo stove ???

The main compartment looks a bit too skinny ?

they've got a couple of other backpacks I'm interested in, just waiting to see if they're available in OG

I was thinking it looked a fair bit smaller than the fat boy, doesn't look like it would take a hobo, as th 58 pattern pretty much seems to fill it.

That`s what I thought too, shame really.

I got one of the versipack/snugpack clones a while ago and found they where a lot smaller than the originals but for the cash I could not complain. Well made and delivered in a couple of weeks. I have held off buying the fatboy clone due to the size difference on the snugpack but I might have to have another look.

That three day molle pouch looks the business, I like that, coyote brown too.

 

[SimonM]

I bought mine from ebay, and the seller still has some in various colours and camo styles, as well as some response pak clones.

No link to seller etc, just a satisfied customer.

I have an original Fatboy and I have to say that that bag is identical judging by the photos. I don't know how the quality compares but the price is incredibly low.

You all might want to buy one quick before Maxpedition try to sue them. But seeing that they are based in China that might be difficult.

Does anybody have both bags to compare the quality?

I'd be interested in a clone of one of the larger "Gearslingers" if there's one out there.

That one does look like the Jumbo to me. See the original here:

I bought a Transformer Tactical Shoulder Go Pack Bag from the site. While the quality of the bag itself seems really good, you have to be careful with the zips ( definitely not YKK ) as mine burst very easily when the bag was slightly overloaded. Very cheap though, and arrived in 10 - 12 days.

 

[Graham_S]

I fancy one of these (in OG if I can get one, I've contacted the seller about it)

I carry my essential kit in a response pack, I reckon I could get a weekends gear in one of them comfortably.

Heh didnt realise it had a removable response pack knockoff on it.

There's a couple of pouches on the side too.

This seller here's got a few more types of knocked off packs as well as the fatboys and response packs;

Cumbrian hows your go pack working out? The zips on mine split at first, wrapping garden wire through the material and round both sets of teeth at the ends of each zipper seems to have solved this. Apart from that mine took a few trips to work out how to pack the main compartment comfortably, but otherwise its great for that fine line between carryability and accessibility.
