Which 35L Pack?

[durulz]

Can't make up my mind.
It's between two for me: Sabre SF 35 or Snugpak Sleeka 35.
The Sabre is the obvious choice. Which is why I prefer the Snugpak. And the Snugpak is £20 cheaper. Which makes it more attractive.
Does anyone have these packs and can give a mini-review?
Or can anyone recommend another 30-35L pack?
Cheers.

I'd go for the one that feels most comfortable on my back

I can only recommend the Sabre from experience, I'll probably be out with it on Sunday so I'll get some snaps if I remember.

LK35 - Simple, bombproof and cheap (but this retailer can be a but iffy)

Lowe Alpine Sabre (35 ltr). No experience with this sack, but can't be a bad thing to introduce something new - other than Karrimor over and over again ...

Interesting question, I wanted a new 35 l pack and I think about the Sabre or the Berghaus Munro. Sometimes even about the Bergans combat pack. Still haven’t made up my mind. The Bergans is a beautiful pack only very expensive.

Depending on what you're needing it for, I can heartily recommend Alpkits Gourdon bags. I have had the 30lt Stealth(ie black) version for around a year and have no complaints. Holds a lot, is comfy to wear and is waterproof, as its basically a dry bag. it has a roll top with toggles to secure the top too. So if you're likely to be out in the wet or out on the water, it's your rucksack and dry bag in one. Hard wearing too, certainly no issues with build quality. £22.50 inc delivery is good IMHO too.

Personally I'd go for a Sabre 45 without the side pockets - much more comfortable if you're tall. The important bit is to remember not to fill the damned thing up just because you can. You have a much more flexible system than a bog standard 35l pack.

Of the Karrimor 35s I prefer the Delta.
For me the Snuggy is a good bag but the Karrimor edges on build quality.
