Rucksack porn

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Shouldn't that be knobhead?

I was going to build in the caveat that I'm also prone to failure. However, I thought the poster might take it in good faith that I meant well. Obviously they haven't and I'm now a spelling Nazi. It's a bit tough to take on board but better than being a little tit in my opinion.

[James Bolivar]

But then he would, he's still young.

I don't own one of these, but if we are looking at RuckSack Porn this is the DVDA

It's Belstaff and costs way too much, but it is gorgeous.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Aw! You're just jealous cos he's got a shiny sack.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Technically, he's a spelling NAZI.

I'm backpacking around the UK/Europe for 4 weeks including Glasto, so I got one of these and it's pretty damn awesome and comfortable.

Very nice looking bit of kit. If you are intending to use a lot of public transport and sleep while doing so you may want to consider one of these. It's a larger version than your 70L one but can't see that being a problem;

Thanks for pointing that one out. Have just ordered myself one as I think I'll need a greater capacity this year than my 70L one. Not sure how it can be too big as you don't have to fill it up if you don't need to.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Just wondered If you went ahead with ordering the 120L & if it looks up to the job?

I use this:

The first time was for Glasto2011 and the 3-week Eurotrip I had before that, had it filled to the brim but this pack really wins on ergonomics - The weight sits comfortably around the hips, had no problem at all running after buses and trains carrying all 27kg I had in it.

[Coveycom]

Yes, I went ahead with the purchase. I've seen nicer looking rucksacks but reckon it's sturdy enough to tackle the job in hand. I'll not be putting too many heavy things in it anyway as I've got a trolley for that stuff.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Thanks for the feedback, the price & size seems right but my only concern is the lack of straps for my roll mat & tent? A trolley just for my kit & beer seems excessive, but guess I could always do a trip back to the car park later on the Wednesday perhaps.

[Coveycom]

You could always buy some of the bungee straps that they sell in Poundland and use them for lashing the tent and roll mat to the rucksack. I have only used the trolley at Bestival so far and that was because I was carrying in boxes of alcohol for someone else. I'll have to use it again at Glastonbury this year because I'll be transporting the alcohol, mixers and a large block of ice for me and my better half. If I didn't need to do that then I'd easily transport what I need with the 120 litre bag and carry my pop up tent in my hand.

I need a new rucksack, I want a lightweight one which means going for something horribly expensive. But I also plan on going travelling over winter so I need one that will last and suit a short(ish) person like me.

I have this.... http://m.gooutdoors.co.uk/contour-50-plus-10-short-p149962. paid 40 in the sale for a pink one, its shorter and perfect for me, might not be big enough for you but for me its just right, I have mock packed it for Glastonbury,lol and I love it and hope its better than the last bag that was far too big.

Considering purchasing this rucksack off eBay but I haven't a clue what I am doing when it comes to these things: -
