Could someone help me find a BOB rucksack.

Post by ExpectTheWorst »

Im looking for one that can hold about 60-80 Ltrs, and under £60. Dont want a cheap tacky bag that will break on its second trip. |

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply, I live in a small town (about 2000 people) so its kind of an urban area with a teaspoon of ruralness haha

You need to get yourself in to a good outdoors shop, and get your back measured, try out a few packs, if the store wont weigh them down abit - walk out their not worth your custom.

I have a Berghaus Vulcan Size 2

•1 = up to 5'3'' (up to 160cm)
•2 = 5'3'' - 5'8'' (161cm-172cm)
•3 = 5'8'' - 5'11'' (173cm-181cm)
•4 = 6' + (182cm+)

These are Berghaus measurements, and also meant for service personnel to carry their loads higher

Had mine for 25+ years, still going strong

Vid here:

No affiliation to store, just for video - there are cheap one on the bay.

Most importantly: You need to get yourself in to a good outdoors shop, and get your back measured, try out a few packs, if the store wont weigh them down abit - walk out their not worth your custom.

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

That is a very important thing to need. Any good outdoor shop will be happy to help you for a bag fit.

This would be ideal, a holdall and a back pack, neutral colour and hardwearing
