Just my opinion DK, this was a few years back when I had to sell them (and send them back to osprey when the sewing failed) POD sacs outsold everything and arc'teryx ones were just a joke. Me? I still use a Karrimor Hot Rock from like 1993...best climbing sac ever made...about 6 years after I had it the stiching came off, just around the join on the snow gaiter, I was chatting the rep and he took it back they sewed it and they even sewed my Union Flag back on properly for me

I've just got one of these -

Tis well bombproof.

I've had one of those for a couple of years LG and it's generally been great.

However........ watch the bladder - mine didn't last too long as the detachable hose started leaking where it connects to the bladder and I had to bin it for one of my old camelbak bladders.

The bladder in my Da Kine lasted all of a ride. Piece of sh!t.

 Rucksack is quite nice though, although my Wingnut is lighter, more versatile and comfier.

What? Debbie Harry was going out with Chris Stein?

That's another childhood illusion shattered...
