Hello All...
For many many months I have been scoping out packs and no matter what I come across I always seem to end up drooling over the Sabre 75. I checked out the Sabre 60-100 ltr too but it seems too big for my needs.
Being that i'm in the US its hard for me to just run to the nearest store and check the 75 out for there are VERY few dealers in this neck of the woods (Southern California). I'm curious to see if anyone owns this pack and if they do what their thoughts are on it.
I'm definitely looking for something that is built like a tank, olive in color, plenty of places to tie things to the pack and a fair amount of neat pockets to stuff things I dont need. I know the sabre doesnt have much more than the main compartment and a pocket in the front that could hold an axe? I'm willing to sacrafice the amount of compartments for something I know will last many years.
I've read the review on BCUK about the Sabre 75 but I would like to get more opinions about it. Even more than that I would absolutely LOVE the idea of seeing some pics of the sabre 75 in action. Maybe packed and unpacked or so.
I'm still open to other healthy suggestions on a pack that shares similar characteristics but smack me for I keep craving the sabre. Everything I've read about it thus far on here makes me think its a good choice but I need a bit of confirmation for its not a cheap piece of kit by anymeans.....but if the world ended tomorrow I'd want to make sure my boots (danner) and my rucksackwould last long enough for me to hike down a beautiful girl to go camping with....
Cheers and thank you all for BCUK....this is by far one of my favorite sites on the web. :You_Rock_
