I use a North Face Base Camp Duffel, in black.

Pretty sure I've got this 70L one, but they do a 100L, as well as a smaller one. Check the link. Also comes in a wide variety of colours.

It's pretty robust, far more so than a Pussers' black grip and won't soak up every single drop of rain, Lucozade, lager/cider or any other liquid you're likely to spill on it in transit, like a Pussers' grip will.

Looks good mate, cheers.

Just pulled the trigger on the 100L North Face Basecamp. £120; pretty steep for a holdall, but I think this bag is certainly going to last a few years. The salesman in the North Face store I purchased it from also told me it was the very bag that the mi6 agent who was found dead was found in. Hard economic times I guess? Must push every feature in to make the sale!

Also just treated myself to a 5.11 Rush 24 Black:

Got myself the Berghaus Centurion 30. Good pack, well built, good carriage system and place for a helmet and hydration bladder.

Are the Eagle assault packs still legit? called 3 day. have Molle and non Molle versions and have a slant zipper on the back?

For general purpose.

Anyone used either the North Face Borealis or Jester?

There is only 2L difference between the two.

Don't no which one to get or to even get something else.

I've had their Yavapai pack for 6 years now, and it's solid.

Im going to get the Borealis or Surge now just got to decide between the 2.
Dad has given me some vouchers for a store that sells them so i will end up paying about 50% of the price!

Hi Fella's,

My brother will be passing out from near a years worth of Royal Marine Commando training and hopefully all going well should be back home in time for xmas, he needs a decent daysack/patrol pack however being that its been so long since I brought any ally kit Im out of the loop so to speak.

I've searched however can only find the cheap knock-off crap from surplus stores, anyone have any good recommendations a daysack? MTP or Coyote would be a preference!

Cheers,

Thanks Greek, have you used that Patrol pack before? Good price too.

btw - Sorry to starting a new thread, my apologies

The new issue one is actually pretty good tbh mate.

If that doesn't take his/your fancy, then something like a Camelbak Motherlode will do it. With the issue one, if he can't get it through QM's, then you can pick them up on ebay pretty cheaply. Gen dit; there's finally some issue kit which isn't sh;t!

No, I haven't. Just gave the links for you. You may find several reviews on the net for these packs.
