Need help picking a 60l pack

[ragingbull1911]

Been looking around and the condor 3day pack is in my price range around £80-£100 just seen on Amazon a kombat UK British Viking 60l pack looks same as condors anyone had dealing with either condor or combat UK?

Help would greatly be appreciated thanks.

I went with a 70ltr wildtrek lightwave bag from gooutdoors. Super light at 1.6kg and nice almost fully waterproof pack.

This is an absolute steal

Lightwave make awesome kit (I have one of their tents), and their assessment of 50l is generous. Plus, it saves you some cash

I shall keep this in mind guys does look very sturdy.

Do you know if the kombat UK Viking pack is worth it....to me it looks like the condor but with out there brand name?

berghaus centurio 45 with mmps pockets would be my choice with large dry bag tied to the molle webbing strong, simple and reliable

I would look for a secondhand Berghaus

I've had a couple of Kombat UK bags and won't be getting any more. With the first bag two of the zips failed after about 7 months and the foam used to pad the shoulder straps collapsed to almost nothing within about 5 months. With the second bag the waterproof lining started peeling off within weeks.

Have a look at the sabre or predator, they are 45l but you can zip on plce side pouches which are 10l each, making the set up a bit more versatile

I'd say head into your local outdoor emporium and try some on, It can have all the features but if the back, belt and shoulder set up isn't right for you it'll be a total mare! Certain makes fit certain folk despite being "adjustable" My old TNF Rogue was the best load carrier I ever had (all 120/130 litres of the sucker - but it didn't fit my mate at all.)
Try a few out, get them to load (ropes, gas, tent - anything heavy) it up in store and wander about the shop for a while, you hopefully shouldn't notice it's on if it fits right.
Hope all goes well.
