Petarded Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I also have an Army issue Bergen, 130L in olive green. I only ever use it when I can't fit the load in my other two rucksacks another military 35L day sack or a quicksilver backpack. Quote
chiz Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I Don't use one at all, I can't find one that sits right on top of my jacket and back protector. I've never been keen on riding with a rucksack on anyway.I prefer to stick everything into a canoe bag and link strap it to my rack/pillion seat.http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keyw ... zgtk5l8f_ehttp://www.linkstrap.co.uk/ Quote
Guest Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 you might be able to use webbing then? aslong as what ever it is that your carrying is not very big.you can get it in black too http://www.soldierstuff.co.uk/product_i ... tqurvzutad Quote
Guest Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I use a nice "Dakine" rucksack, cost me £35, holds plenty, is comfy, and a has that centre strap that keeps it on Whats great, is its waterproof, and they offer a lifetime guaruntee/warranty - if anything on it breaks, zips, straps, any tears or anything, they give u a brand new one xD I love mine. Served me well for years, and boy have i shoved some crap in that! Quote
Guest Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I use my old school bag, has a broken zip and i think got a small hole in it Has no straps to link together or anything Lets say its held my wallet, phone etc and all have survived, well quite rapid speeds! Doesn't hold alot though!EDIT: also survived when i came off back in November too! Quote
Gavskin Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 i never wear one.....whatever is in the rucksack is going to be tumbling down the road with you should you have an off! Quote
Guest Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I have an issue Bergan, but find that the frame pushes my lid up from the back, so its just taking up space on top of a fridge... Quote
Guest akey Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 dont use one, topbox, panniers, tailpack and tankbag is enough for me Quote
chiz Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I have an issue Bergan, but find that the frame pushes my lid up from the back, so its just taking up space on top of a fridge... Flog it!! There's always a daft civi that'll pay silly money for ex-army gear, even if it's falling to bits!! The amount of shite I sold when I was in QM's was amazing!! Quote

The amount of shite I sold when I was in QM's was amazing!! that is true, i wouldnt buy any army stuff myself, mainly because my brother will give it me for free and because its too expensive for somthing a civilian version will do for a quater the price.
