Sorry to say this, but I would'nt touch Highlander products with a barge pole, they are crap!!! You get what you pay for in life.
I've got to disagree. I've owned a Highlander 99 for a little under a year, and it's held up considerably well. The only damage, was from an axe that cut through it's sheath, and made a 1 1/2 inch slice through the fabric. I sewed it up, with a running stitch, followed by a whip stitch, and I haven't had any issues since. The beast carries my gear comfortably and effectively.
Seeing as it's been dragged all over the Canadian bush, has been dumped into several lakes, went down some rapids, and has been bashed all to hell.. yet looks almost new... I've got to say, I wouldn't change packs for anyone.
My only complaint, was the fact that it took months to get it here, and they kept giving Jon M (the guy who I ordered it with), the run around, for the entire time. Funny thing, he ordered another through another company, and the next week the original arrived (he sold it to me), and his new one arrived the following week.
Cheap price, but great quality product.
