Purchased this as a direct result of a mail shot advising this was on offer.
At the time, I was looking for a 'daysack', so something around 25-30L and had purchased a Berghaus Munro (my first Berghaus sack). I had a bit of an issue with it - specifically my build/waistline - meaning I had to make an extension strap. I have long been a fan of the Karrimor SF rucksacks, I have the 30/35/45(+side pockets) and just find they fit me well and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
What I wanted was something for day/short trips (bimbling around in the woods) that I could chuck waterproofs in, gloves, first aid kit, water bottle(s), knife, saw and 'bits and bobs' without being tempted to overdo it. There's a solo tarp in there too, this fits the bill superbly.
The lack of pockets is a blessing in disguise for this sort of usage, I'd sooner just have things stored in a single space, relying on the order of placing things inside in order of 'likely to use'.
The compression straps work extremely well and the padding on the sack ensures great airflow around your back.
As with the other Karrimor SF sacks, the shoulder straps are very comfortable and have a very useful range of adjustment, likewise, the waist strap is very accommodating and it is a very quick and simple task to pull the straps up and get a secure pack which doesn't move around.
Several good length walks in the snow last week with various load weights (up to around 10kg (remember it's a daypack for me !) I didn't have any aches/pains or rubbing points (over a fairly lightweight Ridgeline jacket)
I can't comment on the waterproof qualities since I use drybags as a matter of course (for organisation as much as anything).
Highly recommended for daypack use, and I'm sure more serious users could go further.
