Dutch Bergen / LA Sting

[redbranchwarrior]

Thinking of buying one of these in the 85l variety. Guessing its a LA Sting clone, does anyone have one and has anyone bought from this seller?

120 will be a saracen and 85 a sting, no reason to believe they are fake but id message them

I got these on watch at the moment.
Pretty sure the 120 is a Saracen but the Sting is only a 55ltr AFAIK.
The Salient fits in between the two but doesnt have side pockets.

Seen them quoted at all sorts. mine felt more like 55 + 20 than 65+20 although i wonder if they are adding 10 for the lid

Its been said before Paul that LA were always generous with there sizes.
I have a Salient and my new Strike landed today, both in olive im now wanting a mint Sting/Stingray.

lol, you collect bergens like i collect Lavvus . Its finding the buggers in olive. Good luck with your quest

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Oh i know. I have been looking at Lavvus too. I fancy the Vihe Loue II to replace a tarp but for winter a nice Lavvu cant be beat.
At the mo i have
Berghaus Vulcan.
LA Salient
LA Strike
Berghaus Munro
Karrimor Jaguar
North Ridge Ballistic.

Thanks for the replies guys, is there much/any difference between the LA and non LA versions?
