Karrimor Sabre 30 vs Sabre 35 vs Delta 35 vs Patrol 45

[Deleted member 23526]

Appreciate the reply Ronnie. Vaude makes some excellent material indeed - when I need a tent and not a tarp I go for a Vaude ultralight - however I don't like the back design of their smaller daypacks; it's way too narrow at the base for me. Hence why the clamshell designs of the Delta 35 is appealing: wider, less pronounced and overall tougher for field use.

I know this has been asked before but can't find the info anywhere - would the back length on the Sabre 45 be ok for someone 5ft 11inch tall (although I like to think I'm 6ft!?!)? I'd like to try one on for size but as I live overseas I doubt that will be possible.

I can't see why not. It's typically the taller person not being able to comfortably fit a non-adjustable back.

I have a Lowe Alpine Sting, which is 45l just like the Predator. Bag itself is pretty heavy but works just fine for a day out in the woods - the compression straps help a lot and the size gives you plenty of flexibility with what you can carry out and carry back. I use it day to day as well as when I travel - next week I fly to Amsterdam for a week and I'll be taking it along - beats dragging a suitcase.

I chose it over the Predator because it has a 'proper' hip support and an adjustable back length

I"m 5'11" and I find my Sabre 45 very comfortable
