a wee bit put off mate because of the price, then after that you have to pay another 30quid for the side pounches, then after that if you want to use pounches on there own you need to buy the yoke, im not saying its rubbish kit it looks the part but is it worth the money that is being asked for it?

I like the idea of being to add and remove the pockets depending on how much you have to carry but I also don't fancy the price.
What sort of weight does it come in at?

Im thinking of getting the 75L with the side pockets and the yoke, But it says you can use the yoke for a day pack. Would you be able to fit mush in as it does not look that big ?

The side pockets are ten litres each, when you connect them to the yoke you have a 20 litre daysack,
There is also plenty of attachments on the side pouches the hang plenty of if you need it.
What are you planning on using it for? Are you going for weekly trips? I am only asking as I think the 45l is big enough for all my needs when I head out.

I think it will be money well spent and it wont disappoint you or let you down when you needed it most.

A 75l is a big bag and if you add the side pouches on you will have a 95l bag, If you are like me and the more room you have the more you pack in, I started off  with a 75l bag and carried three stoves just because I had the room, If you are using it for the Mounres a 45l with side pockets will more than carry what you need.

ive had a sabre 45 for years now and thouroughly recommend it. very supportive and plenty of room.

very well made pack and the zip on side bags are a great job.

as for the daysack conversion yolk? brilliant and that alone has carried all i need for an overnighter in the trees.(tarp and hammock setup with light down sleeping bag and mini trangia.

though i got mine for 40 quid from a bcuk lightweight  ;D.
