...The Cyclops III is the update to the legendary if not popular cyclops series of rucksacks. Whereas most manufacturers offer packs with an ajustable back system the Cyclops series take a differant approach. Instead of buying the pack and ajusting it you by it in back sizes - size 1 and 2 for the ladies and sizes 2, 3 and 4 for the lads.
Of course berghaus arent unique in using this method of sizing, a number of firms use it but the vast majorty of packs are adjustable/
So whats on the pack? Well there have been some tweeks since i bought mine in 2002.
Starting from the bottom up theres a hib belt with what berghaus describe as "grabber" fins, what this means that the hip belts uses a mix of firm and softer foams on a precurved plate so it wraps around the wearers hips. In anycase the cyclops has a reputations as being a good...

...I wanted to try Hydrapak so I gambled on the AS Trail. I am very glad that I did. The bladder doesn't have a screw-on lid like most other systems but rather a roll-top with velcro.

You’ll find most shops don’t stock this, but keep on looking! Bad points and the good, here we go as quick and easy as possible. Small water volume compared to my MULE – (see my other review) fits In snug ICE BACK pack. If you don’t know what this is its like insulation that keeps your water warm or cold depending on how you put it in. What’s interesting is you can take out the bottom sheet to let the water heat or cool you, very useful for Very hot days or the very cold (just make sure you remember to slot in ice cubes...

I bought this last year when my mum was in hospital for three months and I had an hour bus journey each way every evening, and I wanted more variety than just a CD in my walkman. At the time this cost me about £159, and I thought it was wonderful, but... more
As you know if you have read some of my other reviews, I don't do technical! Anybody can type in the spec off the internet, I prefer to let you know about useability.
I bought this TV from Currys a few monthes back. I paid £999 for it and had a... more
