Anyone got one of these are they any good ? 90 litres sounds too big to me but not sure . Concept seems decent to me though . There is another one at 40 litres but that sounds too small . Any comments much appreciated

I bought the 90L rucksack for my evening after work and day only sessions. Used it once and sold it was massive and didn't even fill it halfway

I bought a 90l one, i like that style of rucksack previously using the original aqua rucksacks and needed a cheap rucksack to leave at my mates house in france.
It does the job but it is big and after using the aqua one which had a central divider i found the sabre one a pain as the centre pocket was too big and everything just slid down to the bottom, if it had dividers or someone knows of anything to fit inside it would improve it a lot

I've the 90L and the 25litre compact one. The 90l one is huge and somewhat cumbersome... unfortunately the quality lets them down. My first 90l one (you can see where this is going?) tore all along the front panel top zip area, next to the zip and front grab handle. Poor design as the handle as very little material to attach to and a lack of reinforcing. This was replaced directly by Sabre foc last July, the replacement as already done the same and Sabre won't play ball now.
The compact one is a tad too small, but I've cut my carried gear down to suit. I noticed one of the side pockets is already tearing at the base. Plus one of the top cinch straps as come away too.
I don't think I'm overly rough with my gear but don't mother it either.. buyer beware I'd say..

I've got the smaller one also and have used it for a year or so. It forced me to cut my gear down to the things that I actually need but easily fits everything I use in, be that for a day or a week. That's including a tripod and buzzers in the main compartment.

Seems really durable but does sit quite high up the back which some might find uncomfortable.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
