I have one of these and it's brilliant. The whole highlander forces range is great (I have 3 of them: daylite, 33 and 66 for day, overnight and longer trips). They are a little heavy but they stand up to anything.
Recommend me a rucksack please

That's why I bought one - have yet to see a negative review, unlike some of the more expensive packs out there. Also had a couple of personal recommendations.
Not helping the OP, though, who is looking for something smaller. I thought the Bulldog Recon Pack looked well priced but no pictures of the back available & frankly I think all that MOLLE webbing just adds weight

Or the 25l version

Theres a review of the pro force trooper 45 on youtube
Obviously bigger but just to get an idea of build quality for not much money

Well my Highlander 33 arrived this morning & I'm pretty happy with it so far - much lighter than I anticipated & I've managed to squeeze all my stuff into it for a night.
Have you considered their 25l model?

Glad you like the pack
I have looked at the 25 but not fond of the way the pockets sit, their odd shaped and just.. well- odd!
They're not the biggest pockets, are they, but reasonably useful. I wanted a slim bag anyway and the fact that they don't stick out too far is a bonus
I bought my wife an 18ltr pack from Mountain Warehouse which is pretty good. Ripstop & with an elastic mesh on the front. It wasn't expensive. Do you need side pockets at all?

I've had a look in a few shops for packs but nothing yet. No sidepockets are not needed but not unwanted either, always come in handy
Hi,
to jump on to this thread, i am looking for a large size 70 ltr plus for a 5 day+ hiking at about 20kg weight (all kit included as no drop offs or re-stocks available on route), can anyone recomend a good pack that is large enough and not stupidly heavy but has a good comfort to it?
Cheers

I have another bag from the range, the 90L. If the build quality is anything like the same as the 90L. It will take some abuse! Only downside is the price and perhaps the military look isn't for everyone, but the comfort is great.

If you can pack it properly, I find this damn near perfect and an improvement on my Sabre 30 and Munro (which although tough is boxy)

Best bag i've ever used bar none and i've a LOT.
It'd be a real struggle to cram all that kit into one though.
I'd throw a little bit more money in the pot and get one of these
