View Full Version : Cheaper source for Karrimor Sabre 75?
I have tried to order from www.noorloos-se.com but they simply doesn't answer their order emails.
I'm now out looking for another source for this backpack.
The second cheapest ihave found is this: http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/880/mia/d/karrimor+sabre+75/pid/4306184
But 130£ plus 38£ shipping is a bit much more than 149€ plus shipping, so I hoped there would be another cheap source, that perhaps matched noorloos' price a little more?
Update> Ok, I've found another UK supplier that charges 150£, but only 15£for EU shipping. www.tamarackoutdoors.co.uk.
13£ better than than the first one. But I had somehow hoped it could stay inside a maximum of 150£?
Not a 75 but the new 60-100 model
Up in 15 hours, current highest bid is at £102, might be worth keeping an eye on.

John Bull military clothing have them I think, I got my Sabre 45 from them good service.
You could just get a British Infantry Bergen new or 1st Grade probably for about £80 or less if you look hard enough. You can get them in olive, DPM or if you look hard enough black. Alternatively I bought a Snugpak Rocketpak this year of E-BAY for about £60 brand new which has about 80L capacity and you can buy a yoke to turn the side pouches into a day sack.
The Danish army got the same Bergens as the British, and i'm never going back to that one :D
The 60-100 is too heavy (4kgs) as i'm upgrading (downgrading?) from a 4.3kgs 130L backpack, and i really don't need all that space. 75L is already quite much, but i like to have a backpack i know i can depend on whatever the forthcomming trip requires (but 130L was a complete overkill).
I have found www.tamarackoutdoors.co.uk, they charge 165£ in total including chipping. But still around 15£ over my max.
Woodlore charge £150.00 for the rucksack, and only £10.00 for delivery to europe (guessing your in Europe and not UK)
So £161.75
Pah, cannot get links to work..

save you money and buy a descent make. Karrimor of today is nothing like the orginal company, they are part of a multi national chain with the stuf fmade in China.
For that sort of money you can several other good sacs - or are you desperate for a military looking bag?

I believe the Karrimor SF kit is still made in the UK under license, by these guys

Yes, it's the PRI made one i'm after.
It's not the military look but rather the army grade durability :)
Jared> Thanks! This brings me close to my goal :)
Still licenced from Lonsdale Sport Ltd and made in the far east I belive.
If you are in main land Europe have you consided a Lowe military pack,they get very good reviews.
