    Racing Rucksack

    I am in the market for a new pac and have pretty much narrowed it down to two

    Raidlight Endurance 10
    or
    Haglofs Stamina

    I want something with plenty of handy pockets and good liquid capacity. The aim of the pac is for long dayas out (4 Inns, 15 Trigs, Fellsman etc). Hoping someone out there has experience of either of these or can suggest an alternative that ISN'T the Last Drop (i don't get along with it), also Inov8 have been ruled out due to lack of pockets.

    PS. I have already read the other related threads/posts but not found any satisfactory answers. As you know I can't abide lazy 'perosts'

    Cheers

    The Inov8 RP 12 has good waist strap pockets, I just can't stand the bladder

    Go-lite have a circa 12litre bag with hip pockets AND bottle holders. Not cheap at iirc 60quid but look great bit of kit

    Re: Racing Rucksack

    Might I suggest this, my new favourite bit of kit...

    http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co...._rucksack.html

    Absolutely brilliant sack. And comes in different back lengths to fit everybody. Lots of pockets, space for hydration bladder or two side sleeves for bottles (will house up to 750ml bottles) and two generous (removable) hip pockets. Very very light, very very comfortable.

    One of the best running purchases I've made. Used to use an OMM last drop but this knocks spots off it.

    K1M from our club bought one last summer. Looks terrific

    I think the Last-drop straps are awful!

    I have the old 15 litre version of the Golite Rush and it's been perfect for me for long days out including a couple of Fellsmans. The only criticism is that the side bottle holders aren't quite deep enough and I loose my bottle sometimes on rough descents

    The new version looks to have corrected that though.

    Have you looked at the OMM 15l pack (I think it's called Ultra)? One big zipped waist pocket, the other mesh. It also has a kind of lid pocket that can be accessed on the move with only minor contortions of the shoulder required. Side mesh pockets on the main pack too. Padded straps like the regular OMM sacks as opposed to the thin numbers on the Last Drop. I've strapped one of the Innov8 bottle holders to the shoulder strap and it works a treat, leaving four other easy to access pockets for all my other gubbins. Has a couple of bladder tube holes.
