Sabre 45 owners

[Sickboy]

Hi all,
my first new thread for ages, and i'm happy to be back, so much temptation on BB
Down to the problem at hand, looking at buying (well recieving as a anniversary prezzie) a KM SABRE 45, Having looked about the backlength is causing a little concern, obviously there are no stockists about so i can try one on, sooooo could someone measure the back length for me on theirs?
Otherwise if anybody reasonably local (central/south london or north/west kent) has one they would let me try on ( ) that would be great.
Many thanks

Tim

Just measured mine and it's 18 inches from the bottom of the hip belt to the underneath of the shoulder straps - if this makes any sense! I'm 5'11 and quite long backed and the 45's the perfect sack for me. 5 star kit.

Thanks for the fast response, that'll be just dandy. thankfully although i'm 6'1 i've a ladys length back
I'll assume there's plenty of spare strap on the shoulder and waist belt?

Loads of strap everywhere! Infinitely adjustable. Enjoy.
