Talk to me about sacs.Millets, Blacks, Berghaus, Karrimor. From where else does one buy a backpack? You know, those big ones that sweaty travelling types take on their long traveling holidays?

I got mine in the army surplus store.You can pay a fortune in Blacks or Millets if you want, though.

Mine was cool. It had a backpack I could detach from the front,And it had wheels and a handle, very handy for airports.

That's what I want.One that has a backpack that can be detached. And preferably a little section at the very bottom for putting wet things and that in.

Yeah, mine has that.I usually stick shoes in there.

assuming you want a bagthat's suitable for yomping 50K across a desert and killing a towelhead. For anything else, I'd still go and pay more for proper specific kit.
Plus you look like a failed military obsessor or a grunge fan.

Mine was just a plain black one, they did non army ones too.(

I was blindly generalising, to be fairI'm sure they do decent kit. Mine are just for very specific things is all. I doubt army surplus ones have ski straps and flare tubes, for instance.

It actually took me fucking ages to work out what they werethey're inside the bag and too narrow for anything sensible like a water bottle. I had to ask, apparently they're so you can lauch a flare with the bag on or something. Mental.

Yeah, they're grand for just bumming about the place with.I don't know what a ski strap looks like, maybe it does have them. I doubt it, though.

very strong straps on the backusually top left and bottom right, so you can carry skis when you're walking up off-piste stuff
bit like this

Ah right.I don't think I'd like skiing as a holiday, seems like a lot of effort to get all the way back up to the top.

Effort?Sitting in a chair while you get stunning views of the mountains?
Chance of getting in a gondala with a sexy foreign?
EFFORT?

This is the planbut I don't know any other shops, or where there might be a concentration of that sort of thing.
edit: Though badger says Covent Garden. Righty-oh.

You're in that LondonSo blacks, ellis brigham, snow+rock. all around covent garden.
I've got a Cross one for off-piste skiing and a Berghaus one for general shenanigans. In case you cared.

Tell me about your sac shenanigans.This one's for travelling around India. And then all sorts of things, innit. It has to be an investment, not a shoddy thing that will break in two weeks.

buy a double-lined one.(berghaus do goo ones, I think it's called drysac or something. that way if your shoes get covered in shit, you can put them in the bag but not inside the liner. same with wet clothes. for a hot country, serious mesh venting on the back where the straps are is important so you don't end up sweating line a paedophile in mothercare when you're carrying it.
Otherwise, try them, see which feels comfortable. You're probably going to see little change from £150 for a good one, so take your time and be picky.
