Hello peeps.
At the mo' I'm mostly using my Snugpak RocketPak, but it does rub a bit on my lumbar region, and it is designed for wearing above webbing, which probably doesn't help.
I was going to get a Vulcan like my mate's which is an amazing bit of kit, but quite frankly a bit huge. I know it can be compressed, but...
Anyway, so I starts looking at the Sabre 45 that everyone raves about, but i don't like the back padding on those. Quite frankly, I really do need a upper hip/lumbar pad on my sacks. And that's when I discovered the Sabre comes in a 75 litre size. It's basically identical but bigger to the 45 but the back is more like the bigger sacks, that is, it has proper hip/lumbar and scapula pads thus:

So has anyone had experience of them? I understand that I can use PLCE puches on the sides, which i shall use the Snugpak ones, and so end up with a reasonable size pack if need be, but they just look nicer than the Vulcan to me. If it's any help, I'm 6' 2" and a skinny runt, hence the need for padding...
