Highlander Forces 55 ltr. any good?

[wildebassman]

Ok I have now dicided that the size of my new rucksack must be in the 50-55 ltr. range.
I'm interested in a Highlander Forces 55. Who's using them and what are the pros and cons?

Cheers,

Dennis.

Good all round rucksack imo.

Pros: Cheap, robust, and a decent ruck with rain cover.
Cons: Small side pouches.

Used one on a 40 mile hike which turned into a 62 miler (i got lost on the NYMs ) and it took a hammering from the rain, falling down small rocky inclines and being chucked about.

Thanks, how's the comfort?

If you`ve got a "Range" store near you they sell them quite cheap.

It's comfy to wear, even when packed to the gills. Adjustable shoulder straps and waist band aswell.

As Shewie says, Range have them in cheap.

Thanks mates! I think I will order online, I'm very happy with Polimil's service.

Cheers,
