Cheaper source for Karrimor Sabre 75?

[Mikkel]

I have tried to order from www.noorloos-se.com but they simply doesn't answer their order emails.
I'm now out looking for another source for this backpack.
The second cheapest ihave found is this: http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/mia/d/karrimor+sabre+75/pid/4306184
But 130£ plus 38£ shipping is a bit much more than 149€ plus shipping, so I hoped there would be another cheap source, that perhaps matched noorloos' price a little more?

Update> Ok, I've found another UK supplier that charges 150£, but only 15£for EU shipping. www.tamarackoutdoors.co.uk.

13£ better than than the first one. But I had somehow hoped it could stay inside a maximum of 150£?

Not a 75 but the new 60-100 model

Up in 15 hours, current highest bid is at £102, might be worth keeping an eye on.

John Bull military clothing have them I think, I got my Sabre 45 from them good service.

You could just get a British Infantry Bergen new or 1st Grade probably for about £80 or less if you look hard enough. You can get them in olive, DPM or if you look hard enough black. Alternatively I bought a Snugpak Rocketpak this year of E-BAY for about £60 brand new which has about 80L capacity and you can buy a yoke to turn the side pouches into a day sack.

The Danish army got the same Bergens as the British, and i'm never going back to that one

The 60-100 is too heavy (4kgs) as i'm upgrading (downgrading?) from a 4.3kgs 130L backpack, and i really don't need all that space. 75L is already quite much, but i like to have a backpack i know i can depend on whatever the forthcomming trip requires (but 130L was a complete overkill).

I have found www.tamarackoutdoors.co.uk, they charge 165£ in total including chipping. But still around 15£ over my max.

Woodlore charge £150.00 for the rucksack, and only £10.00 for delivery to europe (guessing your in Europe and not UK)

So £161.75

Pah, cannot get links to work..

save you money and buy a descent make. Karrimor of today is nothing like the orginal company, they are part of a multi national chain with the stuf fmade in China.

For that sort of money you can several other good sacs - or are you desperate for a military looking bag?

I believe the Karrimor SF kit is still made in the UK under license, by these guys

[Mikkel]

Yes, it's the PRI made one i'm after.

It's not the military look but rather the army grade durability


Jared> Thanks! This brings me close to my goal

Still licenced from Lonsdale Sport Ltd and made in the far east I belive.

If you are in main land Europe have you consided a Lowe military pack,they get very good reviews.

 

[Dougster]

These Karrimor are still of the same build quality as the old ones Eds.

Is it cheaper in-store than on the website?

Dougster> i can't seem to find the Sabre 75 model on the webpage. Do you know if they stopped selling it?
