Karrimor SF Sabre 45 PLCE Rucksack

This the second Karrimor SF Sabre 45 that I have.
The build quality and fictionality of the second rucksack is identical to my original.
I am still using the original and will continue to do so until it completely 'dies'.
I purchased the second one to ensure that I have a replacement for the original does give up the ghost!

I can confidently say that it is the best daysack size rucksack that I've ever owned and I can only assume, judging by the new ones build quality and materials, this new one will be no different.
I have used it all over the world; in active volcanoes, jungles, deserts and the arctic and it has never failed me!

The size is accurate, a good 45ltrs.
The external and internal pockets in the lid are always very useful and spacious.
The waste belt is quite wide, well padded and very supportive.
The daysack can be well loaded up with weight and the robustness of the materials and stitching gives you confidence that it will not tear out or fail.

I have the PLCE zip on/off side pouches and they extend the capacity of the daysack enormously.

My only minor gripe would be the plastic clips that allow you to tidy the various lose straps away. They sometime have a tendency to get caught and snap off.
I have replaced these with elasticated 'hair bands'! I've found this improvisation to work quite well to tidy away the lose straps to prevent them catching in equipment and vehicle doors etc.

Compared to so many of the current similarly sized daysacks on the market at the moment this bag is head and shoulders above them for functionality, robustness, value for money and longevity of use.
I would wholly recommend this daysack.

My final note would be to absolutely praise John Bull clothing for their extremely quick delivery service
Thanks very much.

I bought this pack because I was sick of so-called 'high-end' brand packs failing on me after a few months of hard use. I can't speak for how long the Sabre will last me but if I were to guess based on the material, stitching and fastening's quality, I am sure I will be using this bag long into the future. If I haven't came on to amend this review then assume it's still going!

Also very impressed with the service provided by John Bull - I ordered fairly late on in the afternoon and it was despatched the same day. Eco-friendly packaging is always appreciated too.

Ordered this for my friend and he is absolutely delighted with the rucksack
Top marks to John Bull for a first rate service
