Where Can I get Cheapest Sabre 45?

[Treeclipper]

Hi folks,

As the title say's 'Where Can I get Cheapest Sabre 45?' .
I got booked up for one of PatrickM's course's in May & I need a rucksack for going.
I have an all arms bergan but its a bit to big for me, so was looking to get a Sabre 45 & put the side pouches on I have if needed.

Any help would be most appreciated or if anyone has one for sale I'd be interested.

Slightly more expensive (£69.99), but I've always had great service from them.
When I ordered mine, they even rummaged through the warehouse for me to make sure they had one in stock.

Try Endicotts - I got mine for £45, including two OG side pouches, a daypack yoke, and postage. Not the latest model though.

I contacted John Bull by phone and they were superb to deal with.....instant delivery and....err...you could also try to negotiate too

Thanks for the links folks, I'll make up my mind within the next week, which one to go for .

the missus found a snugpak rocketpack on the net for about £60 so I'll have a look at that as well.

cheers

Stick with a Sabre buddy, snugpacks are short in the back and designed for use with webbing really, Sabres are much better sacks, how much is the cheapest you have found? If you really want a snugpack there are usually on evil bay for peanuts second hand.

Exactly what I was going to say. They're a good pack for the design brief but not much cop without the webbing kit supporting them for extended wear. Unless you're a short **** of course!

lol didn't know I new you, (me = Short **** ) . ~I'm about 5' 6 & reasonably round lol, so it might be the better pack for me then.

I've got both bags - and believe me, there's nothing really wrong with the Rocketpak... but the Sabre is the better bag!

 

[Treeclipper]

Well I got to try on both bags today (thanks to 2 friends at work)& the Snugpak fits fine(due to me being a short ****), Sabre was also comfy, but I can get the Snugpak for £55 & it already has the side pouches fitted, so the wife says thats the one I'm getting lol.

I think I'll be happy with what I'm getting & I can always change it at a later date when finance's aren't as tight ( SWMBO is insisting I buy her a new kitchen this year).

Hello!
I´m new here. I´ve been looking at the Karrimor Sabre sacks for a while. The Sabre 45 and 75 interest me, and I wonder, how do they fit my height (183cm) 6 feet? The waist belt, does it come on my hips? I don´t want it above my hips, on the softer parts of my body. Hope you understand, it´s hard to express details on a another language.
And the internal frame, what is that made of, aluminuim? How does it look like?

Thanks
T.
