Colour is Ranger Green / Khaki two-tone. The Aston pocket is Ranger green.
Note: I purchased the upgraded Aston pocket with this bag, replacing the panel, which gives you four slip pockets and a panel / beavertail which expands to compress extra layers (tarps, jackets, extra capacity).
The slots in the pocket perfectly fit 2-3 magp daka pouches, to organise smaller items etc. Shown in picture to illustrate but the Dakas aren’t included.
I’ve added a bunch of aftermarket ranger green 1” elastic tidies (I think from Britkit) to tidy up all of the dangling straps. Once the pack is loaded up and the straps cinched down its tidy package.
Capacity is a funny one with HPG. Dimensions I’d place this as an upper bound of around 48 litres but lands comfortably at 34 litres, from my spreadsheet of bags (don’t ask).
Crucially this pack fits within max carry on, if you’re into one-bagging.
The setup with the Aston panel makes a pretty big bag that can compress down to next to nothing, for wandering about, or Chuck a small day sack under the panel for extra capacity.
Has a zip at top and bottom of the pack, I believe to allow long items run down the back; such as a rifle or axe.
Lined with Velcro and the top zip means a laptop case can be velcroed in place and easily accessed. Can include a 5.11 padded laptop sleeve for a quick sale.
Specs:
Length: 8.00 in
Width: 11.00 in
Height: 21.00 in
Dimensional Volume: 1848.00 in3
Comparative Volume: 2900ci / 48L
Beltless Chassis Capacity: 80lbs
Belted Chassis Capacity: 150lbs
Condition:
This looks unused to me. Has been stored in my bag of bags for a while.
I’ve maybe used it once around town to try out but haven’t had a chance to travel with it or use it outdoors. As such it’s pretty spot on.
I’ve detached a lot of the extras straps, shock cord and 550 cord (can be used to hold tools, poles etc) but they’re included in the bag along with the stickers etc.
Price:
With the panel this cost me well over £400. Asking £315 inc postage to UK.
No trades / px’s thanks. Need to pay off another bag I’ve already bought.
