Snugpak Bergen anyone?

[Frosty11]

I've been going through the boards and there's much love for the Berghaus Vulcan, Karrimor Sabre and a couple others, but wanted to know if anyone has used a Snugpak? What's your thoughts on it? I can't use my old issue one anymore and my Osprey backpack simply isn't big enough (sadly they don't do side pouches).

Just get the Vulcan, best there is bar none

I have the Snugpak and wish I had put my money elsewhere.
The stitching on the shoulder straps began separating after first use, the mesh side pocket ripped on second use.
The frame is a little too big and the velcro doesn't hold it in place and the plastic end caps on the frame detached and jammed in the holding channels.

Try another product.

I had one and loved it - much lighter than the others and a nice length back for those like me of restricted hight (5'6")
It did eventually die but that was after some considerable wear on expedition.

Cheers guys for your comments. I guess it's going to be the vulcan on this occasion. Gonna look for a second hand one. IMO new kit in the field doesn't look right.

Thanks for this, but it's not as good as its rivals.

Outstanding offers for the vulcan, but only mentions size 2/3... would be needing a size 4. I guess this means I'm choosing the Berghaus then ha!

Only problem I had with my Vulcan was the two compartment lining getting in the way of packing. Give it away it annoyed me so much.
