I have been ringing around and nobody has any of these( not unless I want to spend £60

Any ideas

Picked up a very good shortback bergen last week at a cracking price but no pouches to be seen

I had a similar problem but a bit of asking around here and on BB I got pouches and Yoke
very reasonably priced and if I remember rightly very quickly
But you are looking at around £25 minimum I suppose
They do show up on e bay from tiime to time

Anyone with a set of those (Sabre) who can measeure them and tell me:

Length of zip
width between zips
location of attachment points

I'm looking at upgrading the side pouches of my Atlas (I dislike the "front opening" design on the stock pockets), and the Sabre ones look decent. But compatability is an issue...

Length of Zip = 13 3/4 inches
Width Between Zips = 8 inches give or take.
Exactly the same as PLCE side pouches and they won't fit on a Berghaus Vulcan.

Vulcan; 35 cm long zips, 22 cm wide, i.e. pretty much the same measurements. Is is zipper type or the way they are turned that is the problem? Turned is a small matter of sewing, type/size is worse, since I then would have to source matching ones (or butcher the existing ones, or course).

No problem Steve, I'm lusting after a pair myself... I've had a quick glance at a pair the other day and the web loops on the sides will accept US ALICE webbing pouches. Seemed like good quality but as I say it was only a quick glance.

I picked up a pair with yoke for £15 delivered a few weeks ago off Ebay. Keep checking as they crop up quite a bit...

For new Karrimor Sabre stock, you could try:-
  • Lurch at Lakeland
  • Tamarack Outdoors
  • Woodlore

I have bought items of all three and can vouch for the quality of service from each.
