Karrimor Sabre 30

[rjbaal]

Any feedback on the Karrimor Sabre 30L would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a small pack for long daytrips or overnighters.

Thanks in advance

almost every rucksack i own is made by karrimor. they make good kit that lasts.
my main rucsack is a jaguar and it's still going strong after 18 years.
also the sabre was designed for the military market so if anything its tougher than the regular packs.

I still use my old Jaguar S75 ,still going strong after all this time (17 years).

What's the best place to buy a Sabre 30 at the moment ?

Take a look at the highlander 30 if you want a cracking pack for vey little money.
I did a review here http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=3709&highlight=highlander

I had one, used it as my climbing bag (I have a lot of kit in it, most climbers prefer something smaller) and as an occasional daybag when my 40/60 patrol pack was too big - until it got stolen with all my gear in it but I would very strongly recommend it, excellent bag

I use one too. The great thing for me is that I use it on my motorbike as a daily kit bag for all my work kit, and I can thread the belt through the loops on the sides of the base neatly so they don't flap around at speed. I don't use belts on tiddler packs so this is ideal.
Great pack and ace value. How the heck do you get a 58 bottle kit in the pockets? I can barely get the pockets open on mine (my only complaint as i use them regularily) and the waterproof cover in the lid pocket is a pain for everyday use as my stuff gets lost all around it. But i can live with that!

Re- RB

there are some places who have old stock for befor the company was sold the bags are cheapish but hard to find otherwise you have to go through PRI who now make them.

I had checked out the PRI site but i was hoping to find some NOS at the right price.

there were a lot in the sports world stors (owned by Lonsdale london who now own karrimor) but the plymouth one ran out some time ago and they arnt getting any more... i dont know if this is the case else where!?
