Anyone using the Snugpak SLEEKA FORCE 35 Rucksack? If so, what for? What do you like and what do you dislike about the ruck?
Thanks
i would like to know that too, i need a slightly smaller pack than mine sabre 45 for shorter trips. But bigger than the sidepocket "jetpacks".

i nearly bought one at silvermans but i didn't like the back padding and the shoulder straps dug into my neck also the side pockets are not zipped, but i do use a Rocket pack wich i think is a great sack its a shame the s/force isn't as good, :?: (purely my opinion :naughty: )

Are you certain you are referring to the right pack? It appears to have zipped pockets and plenty of padding. Scroll down to see the back side of the pack.

Hey - I've got one of those... Being in the army, I find it quite useful for low weight bergan tabs - plus shoving all my stuff in when I'm off home at the weekend! They're quite lightweight and comfy to wear. There's nothing much to it really, just a good basic day sack!
Hope that helps a bit... :o):

Hi yep thas the one :biggthump the flaps cover not zips but elastic draw cords, i compared it to the new forces brand 33ltr sack which is cheaper :shock: has a better airflow padding system, zippered pockets, rain cover ect in my opinion it had a better feel and was more comfey, all i can say is go and try one on put something in it at the shop to weight it and walk about in it if its comfotable and you like it its good to go,It just didn't feel right to me and dearest isn't always bestest :shock: :rolmao:

silvermans do emhttp://www.military.co.uk :wink: :biggthump
I have a sleeka force 35, I find it's a very tough rucksack but the shoulder straps are very uncomfitable and the back system doesn't allow much air in. How about the gelert combat 40 as an alternative?
