What the fcuk? Is that what passes for webbing these days?
You mean they got rid of over the shoulder sandbags? Cheapest Assault vest I ever owned.
Mate you get issued a day sack and man bag you really don't need to buy any more stuff.

Contact Karrimor SF direct if you are serious about getting hold of one in MTP/Multicam. I think Aktiv8 are also something to do with them so it may be worth contacting them too maybe?

Daysack has been out for a while.
In many ways I prefer the design of the old Patrol pack, but the straps on the new one allow you to carry weight without cutting off the circulation on your arm.

Not in MTP ever from a commercial source. MTP can only be used for issued items. Multicam - fill your boots from the custom makers listed.

I know I got shown one last year seemed a nice design mix between the mortar bag and the radio bag, but a nicer build, just waiting as the only choice is DPM/TAN and seeing as we're seeing the demise of DPM then the right choice is to wait.

Had one in OG, quality seemed pretty solid. Not that surprising as Karrimor SF are supposedly doing the new issue daysacks. Pouches were a good size and had velcro closures with the strips to cover them if you don't want to use them. Pocket on the back for a water bladder which supposedly takes an issue 3l camelbac with cover.
In my experience 3l is way too big, stuck out the top of the pocket by miles and you'd never be able to clip the cover and side panel together at the top to keep them secure/neat. Might be just alright with only the bladder, but there's not much more than two velcro straps on the back to stop it coming out. More importantly, I found the quick-release clips on the side panel wouldn't work with issue ones. Tolerances on the female part weren't quite right and male PLCE stuff wouldn't "click" in. Seems odd given what it's made for, maybe I got a bad one?

Karrimor SF are manufacturing a small part of their range in their own version of MTP as they are not allowed to manufacture any other product in the official MTP (MOD Licence). They should be available at the end of March as they have just signed off their pre production samples. Items include the Predator side pockets and daysacs, Sabre 60-100, assault vests and a variety of pouches.
