Dutch Army issue Sting?

[Mike8472]

Has anyone own/used a Dutch army Issue STING rucksack?

I have seen the comercial vesrion but a friend of mine said he recalled thet the army version differs slightly. (as well as the obvious being in Dutch DPM cammo not olive green)

Anyone here got one? any good?

More importantly any pics?

Id like some reviews from people that own one before i take the plunge and shell out for one!

Cheers

Mike

There's a been a fair of chatter about them lately

Try a search for Lowe Alpine, something useful should come up.

But your pack is a Strike Claudiasboris.
Mike means a Sting.

There is a small difference's in adjustingback and size I think.

 

[Claudiasboris]

Well spotted!

There's a larger difference in that they're two different bags!!!

What I meant to say is that I've got a Dutch one on order from Endicott's and when I can I'll post a review with lots of nice camouflage photos.

I got a Sting today from Endicotts.
I am pretty impressed with the build quality of the bag, and to me it feels much lighter than my British army "Other Arms" bergen which I would say was it's closest counterpart in the British Army.

will have to take it out and christen it hopefully this week end.
