Lowe Alpine Sting (Dutch Bergen)

[Phaestos]

Yello all,

Right, after serving me well, I'm looking to move on from my Karrimor Jaguar GR75, preferably onto a LA sting. I've found a couple places online, but wanted to see if anyone here had any good deals going on an LA sting they dont want?

Cheers,

Matt

Do you want olive or DPM ?

 

[Phaestos]

Absolutely no preference mate. Either would be better than my bright blue jaguar

Look on ebay mate and type Dutch army rucksack.
There is a DPM one with rocket pouches for decent money.
Im looking for a OD one but not holding my breath.

Is that the one for 25? Is 40 litres the right size?

 

[Trencakey]

I think the sting is 55 litres plus the pockets ?

40 liters is the Strike (non-adjustable backsystem) - it's used as a grabbag by SF and AMB.

Sting or Stingray are both 55 liters (ex side pouches) and is used by reg infantry.

no mate the picture shows the pouches zipped together

Matt I will PM you the eBay link.
I have the Strike and think its ace, I also have the Salient as a bigger pack but still looking for an OD ssting and an OD
Saracen to complete the collection.

Well it got sold before I could check my funds sadly. The back system for the strike looks significantly less comfy than the sting. Do you find it ok?

What about this one? Looks like the strike. When you click 40 litres on the dropdown it jumps to a very strike looking pack: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dutch-Ber...cksRucksacks_Bags_EH&var=&hash=item35be5d870d

I like my Strike and find it comfy even when loaded heavy.
