    Just taken delivery of a Karrimor Sabre 45 (£50 plus Vat plus carriage from PRI- thanks for pointing me there Duncs) It's very good.
    It appears that load carrying technology has advanced a bit since my service days.

    Can anyone tell me what the two parallel rows of loops on the back are for?

    Doc,

    I think the loops are a design feature for soldiers - when tabing on a ICFT they would be IDEAL for pushing your rifle mag through.

    Or

    If a climber they could be ideal for crabs and such.

    Never really found a use for them myself though.

    they are designed as attachment points for crabs etc

    the top of the two rows somtimes ends in a larger loop which when used with the handle at the top of the back padding makes a three point attachment for haulng up rock faces
    Success is not measured by what you have, but by what you can do without.
