Title: New Ruc needed.
Post by: Rumblebum on February 29, 2012
Ive been looking at a future purchase.

Basically im thinking about a midsized rucksac for the odd quick overnighter, i already have a 65 + 10 berghaus but id like something a bit smaller and lighter, its gonna be an osprey as ive been drooling over these for a while now, the store owners are not happy at this!

I think ive narrowed it down to these two   http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/index.cfm/product/osprey-mens-atmos-50-rucksack/fuseaction/products.detail/code/61110287/id_colour/108/group/5213/level/3

The Atmos is a bit heavier and doesnt come with a rain cover, but it is a newer model.

I dunno, whats your thoughts?

Dude do you think you have an addictive personality?  You just can't stop spending.  When you look at those rucksacs I think you hear them singing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRurhWEKB1A) to you.  I just hope you don't start gurning about not fitting stuff in it.  I ain't carrying two fire logs!

You should look at the kestrel range. Speak to Redleader about his pack.
