Hi all ,
Have been looking at British army bergens 120 ltr,
My question is.... I've seen one reletivley cheap, but I'm 5.7 and this is a long back... Has anyone used this pack who are around the same height as me ??
Will not be using a belt kit so not fussed about it sitting on the hips?

Yep, i'm 5.8 and a bit lol, tighten the belt on your hips and as long as its packed right its ok. Got to be honest though,probably not the most comfy of things to carry. I suppose it depends on what weight your carrying and how far your walking. Mine gets pushed around on a trolley these days. :)

Hi there , am 6ft and used to use a long back issue pack and it was comfy to use for me and never had any problems, also off topic if your after a cheap strong long lasting pack and your not to bothered about weight then there great.

I have both Long and Short, I'm over 6 ft, To be fair i prefer the short back as it rides slightly higher ,so i can attach my tent to the bottom without it slapping my backside as i walk.
