H110 35L Daysack - MEP Stone

Perfect for real use

Very impressed with the quality of this daysack! Very well made, suprisingly lightweight yet solid material.
I have used this pack on many bushcraft and camping weekends and it carrys very well.
I used this pack in the rain in Glen Coe, Scotland and everything remained dry.
I chose black as i wanted to use this for edc and it works with the greyman concept.
I will probably purchase another one at somepoint.

Great quality like all arktis products. Comfortable, convenient and gets the job done.

I have been using a Munro since the early 90's (which has been utterly brilliant) but I wanted to ''retire'' it from everyday use. I decided that I would go with the H110 and I certainly have not been disappointed. Great build quality and very versatile, loads of pockets and good quality zips and fixings. Highly recommended.

This strength of this sac lies in its simplicity. Non camouflaged, mine has no molle webbing, no manufacturer's logo,no velcro patches. There is a tiny "Arktis" tag easily trimmed off and so nothing about the sac to attract unwanted attention.

THE GOOD
No structural zips! They've improved but I don't trust them. Jammed or broken structural zips are at the least inconvenient and are potentially disastrous.
The side pockets are a sensible size: a mk1 crusader stove&mug + nalgene oasis bottle will just fit. 1mm off the mug lip flange would ease extraction! Upper zipped pockets are 14" deep, ideal for maps,stove windshields etc. or for stowing socketed glass fibre pole sections etc for making improvised shelters. The top pocket has rings at each corner, good for threading elastic cord for securing crampons or waterproofs. It has fastenings for two ice axes/walking poles.
LESS GOOD
The chest strap caught my throat but on the low attachment point it was too short. I made a longer one, ends looped around the strap, back under the lowest attachment loop a la Karrimor Sabre: much better!
DESIRABLE
Detachable waist belt.

I WOULD BUY ANOTHER -if it had eyelets around the sac body top and if the snow lock were replaced with a sac height bivi extension sleeve. Normally it would line the sac, pulled out & twisted it would keep snow out and extended it would either enable bulky loads or would let the extended sac cover feet & legs in a forced bivi. The old ways still have value!!!
