Advantages: Super tough, military specification daysack with internal frame Disadvantages: Not a lot of pockets!
...Made of 1000 denier textured nylon which is as tough as old boots, with synthetic fabric used on body contact areas.
It is fast drying, durable and very comfortable on the back. The alluminium alloy frame gives excellent support and harness rigidity to the pack.
The two buckle lid closure ensures maximum weatherproofing, plus gear can be held under the lid in good weather.
Dual density foam ensures comfort and prevents items in the pack from digging into the back, and there is a waist belt with 25mm webbing which holds the pack snugly onto the back when crossing rough terrain. There are four accessory attatchment points from which 3 bar buckles can be used to attach straps additional to the elastic strapping.
Ideal for use as a civilain or in the military!...

The slightly smaller Cragsac has a fixed lid and is a few quid cheaper if that better suits your needs. For proper winter walking with crampons and axes...
