upscaled response pak?

[Steffen]

i like the snugpak response pak, but i think it is on the small side.
something like a 50% upscaled snugpak woul be great.

does such a thing exist?

look up the maxpedition sabercat that fits the bill but it is quite expensive compared to the response pak. HTH

I have a Sabercat, and it's great, another one to look at, which is quite good, is the North Face Sport Hiker
Clicky

i just saw a youtube review of the sabercat.
and it seems it have the same problem as a norrøna kongsvoll pack i have.
its just to big to use as belt carry or hipbelt only.
of course it can be used with shoulder straps, but i think a 30l backpack would be faster, easier and more practical.

Try a handbag like my wifes!
It holds a huge amount of gear, has a civvie look and can be carried as a shoulderbag or as a backpack or even belt mounted ...she got it from a charity shop but the makers name is "Denny"....
She is just going out so I cannot photo it...try googling the name...

Hi
you could always add additional storage to your response pack using one of the smaller maxpaedition pouches such as the one below

i've been looking around on the net, and something like a maxpedition condor 2 or a bergans sport alpin makes more sense to me.
i will still keep the response pak.
after i got the bright idea of carrying it on my left side, instead of on the back, its actually very accessible.

Yes. Beyond a certain weight anything you have on belt around your waist is going to 'move' quite abit , hence why webbing has a yoke , but as you've said mayaswell go straight for a small backpack.

Why not opt for a gearslinger type pack rather than a large and awkward waistpack? They will hold what you need and are very readily accessible. Not cheap though.

I have a Maxpedition Malaga, which is a nice little daypack and can be expanded by adding pockets etc if required.
