Dont put spikes in even with guards on as I have a nice scar on my arm from catching a bag passed down from the landy roofrack and the gaff came through and made a nice whole in the bag and me!

I use gaff guards now. Was meaning to for ages then managed to stick a spike through one of my NF bags. I would have rather spiked my leg! Haha.

 

A waterproof bag is a must. If its bad enough you could always use it as an umbrella to keep you dry for a bit.

Well the Gelert, you supposedly get a lifetime guarantee on it, plus the additional 30L capacity for near enough the same price. Think ill just get one of those. Ill just have to order and be patient for arrival, ha!

Google 'army deployment bag'.

 

Best kit bag I've ever owned, about £17.

 

Shoulder straps which cunningly hide as well if you need to pack into the woods.

 

The Husky bag is the single worst item I have ever bought.

I've got several of them and they are great value and very tough. The rucksack straps tuck away behind Velcro flaps when you just want to use it as a holdall, which is a nice detail.

Decided to go for the army deployment bag. :-) I took a look at the Mountain Warehouse bag yesterday. It looked nice and shiny but I felt I could get a bigger one for the same price. I then considered driving down to GoOutdoor today to look at the Gelert Expedition 90L version but then remembered I had a £25 eBay coupon. So researched further into the army deployment bag and it seems to be the ideal bag! So only cost me the postage £6! BARGAIN!

You want a great kit bag, checkout what the Aussie army use. My brother got onto a tailor while he was on a deployment. This bloke can make anything! rope bags, kit bags and they last!! Just email him and he can send you pics, info, etc. [email protected]

He'll stich a name on the bag along with a flag of your choice, all for around $100 aussie dollars. Ewan Murray will post a pic for you. also goggle 'dive bag'
