For sale is a hardly used Karrimor Sabre 75 backpack (black) plus similarly hardly used Ortleib 109 ltr dry-bag bergen liner.
The Ortleib dry bag can be seen here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ortlieb-109L-Medium-Weight-Drybag-in-Black-/321094149337
Full spec. of the Karrimor Sabre 75 can be seen here: http://www.karrimor.com/karrimor-sf-sabre-75-plce-backpack-798011
Both of these were purchased together several years ago but have hardly been used, as can be seen from the photos. In fact, the dry bag has only been on one 7-day canoe trip, and has been folded up in my gear cupboard ever since.
Shortly after purchasing, I met my current girlfriend and we got into lightweight backpacking together, so this hard-use pack has been sitting unused as I don't get out to do anything bushcrafty anymore. Save for a dozen of times when I first bought it, it has permanently lived in my gear cupboard too. It sees no use, which is a shame because it is a fantastically well made, bomb-proof piece of kit - so it has to go.
As you can see from the photos it is in top condition (I'm very anal retentive about my gear!) and there are only some very light marks here and there. Some light marks to the plastic hardware and webbing straps as you would expect. There is no rip/tear/burn damage to it at all. I was very careful to never put the pack directly on the floor, so it's very clean and tidy as you can see from the photos. All YKK zips run smooth, without any damage... no black paint has been chipped off the zippers etc.
Legendary piece of kit, made of 1000 Cordura, and will last a lifetime.
New, the cheapest price I could find for the backpack was £145 - and the Ortleib dry bag was £25.00.
My price is £125.00 including UK delivery for both the Sabre 75 and the Ortlieb bag.
I also have DPM "Endicotts Grade 2" side pockets, Exped side pocket dry bags plus an as-new, unused Snugpak yoke in Olive Drab for sale. With the side pockets attached, the carrying capacity goes up to a massive 100 liters!
