Spamel check the "Stuff from Sweden" thread regarding the Pack in it I think the a pic is of a Nowegian pack with a pouch on the front.

The bag is very similar to the one I was sent by mistake, however, mine doesnt have the front pouch - just one either side, and mine has a green web back support at the base of the frame. Oh and there are no laces to fasten the bag.

The frame is identical in colour and shape. I think mine is a Norwegian bag but maybe has less capacity than the one posted in "stuff from Sweden"

In a moment of weakness last night I ordered one.

Hope it shows up when the wife is busy!!

Mine was ordered from GAS and packaged only in clear celophane type wrapping so be quick and hide it.

One thing I should say about this pack, for what it is, it is INCREDIBLY light.

I'll have a chat with the postman tomorrow.

I'm glad it's light, the weight was my only reservation.

It arrived today. It's probably the best value thing I've bought for a while.

Nicely worn in (not keen on brand new stuff) but years of life left and as said before the leather needs softening and the straps are a bit odd with the hooks on, but otherwise excellent.

O dear i'm going to have to order one I think.
Years ago I bought an old Karrimor canvas bag with woolly coated straps. It was blue with no frame. I have since rivited two surplus Burghaus side pouches to it, dyed it, and think its great. Cost £10 all together. Going on a trip soon to see if frameless is ok all loaded up.
