Got it of Sports Direct for 50 quid. Bargain. On the first trip out with it on the north ridge of Tryfan, I slipped and landed on the bag. When I got back, I noticed that the base had a hole in it. The reason - the base material is crisp-packet thin despite it looking reinforced, believe me it is not!! Only than the material being crap and a really annoying rear haul loop, its a nice bag with loads of features. I've sent it back to Sports Direct and wouldn't recommend it - I'm sticking with my original.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-64891085642550993212011-03-29T21:08:43.188+01:002011-03-29T21:08:43.188+01:00No it'll be exactly the same as an Alpiniste 4...No it'll be exactly the same as an Alpiniste 45+10 bought from anywhere else.

So approx 55cm long (top to bottom) x 30cm wide (left to right) x 17cm (back to front). The circimference is about 95cm near the top. That is the main body of the pack not including the snow skirt/extension or lid. <br /><br />I'll add a few pics to the main post to illustrate.Mac Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212410938991488721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-51970914936280191682011-03-21T09:49:06.469+00:002011-03-21T09:49:06.469+00:00I want to buy this one.
