Hi,
I already purchased one of the 40 litre Dutch patrol packs from Endys a few months ago and although I haven't had a chance to use it properly yet, I've been very impressed. It's a Lowe Alpine Strike in DPM and in slightly used condition (ie the fabric looks a little faded and it seems to have lost any water repellency).
I rang them earlier this week to ask if they had any other Dutch (Lowe Alpine) packs in and they have! They're not up on the website, but are in store. They have the 50 (?) litre Sting complete with side pockets for £50 and the Saracen bergan (not sure how many litres, but at least equal to PLCE I think) complete with side pockets for £75.
Both are ex-Dutch military and therefore in DPM and (at least) slightly used.
Don't tell SWMBO but I ordered both (I can resist anything but temptation). I'll let you know what they're like when I get them.
No connection with Endys, etc.
Cheers,
Claudiasboris
