Thanks for the input Lundy - we'll be introducing a sternum strap in the newest revision

just got mine, super excited to try it out!

Nice review. I’ve had mine awhile and it’s been good. I didn’t expect it to ride as well as it does.

I appreciate the honesty on the review. There's a lot of outdoor influencers who aren't dishonest as you are.

Good review Jimmy, looks a great pack buddy. Looks a good strong bit of kit 👍👍👍

that is a great looking pack, Jimmy . I like having lots of pouches so I can keep my stuff organized, it helps me not to forget something and I seem to do that a bit😂😂😂 Dwayne

I like it Jimmy, smart bit of kit. Miles better than that 'Shit' Helikon pack 😀 ( In my opinion) . Nice review mate, good kit load out too. Atb Rick n Billydog

Looks like a great patrol pack . definitely getting one on your review here .I,ve been using the N.I. Patrol pack for years time for an upgrade I think. Thanks for sharing ATB 👍

Looks a great Bergen mate.

Great looking Bergen tbh Jimmy, Kitpimp has put together a great bit of kit . Atvb Dazz

Good review and it does look like a decent bit of kit. The lack of a padded waist belt, as it's meant for carrying while wearing belt kit, is it's only downside for me. Something between this and that monstrous 150l bergen would be ideal. The main body 60-70, and be able to take issue side pockets, would be perfect. Getting too old to be humping huge amounts of gear with me these days and I'm starting to look at the ultralight mob with envious eye's, but I still want to be warm at night. 😂 A quick browse through the channel and easy decision to subscribe. We seem to have a very similar style and you guys do look like a fun bunch to camp with. Carry on lads.

Nice and very fair review mate, I have been waiting for them to do a run of them in green. It's a lot of pack for the £££

Great review Jimmy!! I've an old NI Pack that I use for work and was contemplating removing the side pouches, adding zips for Bergen Rocket Pockets. But after seeing your review I think I'll just have to spoil myself. Birthdays in March...just saying 😉 Anyway you can't grumble for that price!!! Love the idea of the top Commanders Pouch and the floating lid. I'll add a sternum strap as well. Just a shame it's not in DPM or OD.

M8 what's the litre size of the rucksack and by the way nice introduction and you've gained another subscriber. All the best from the Brecon Beacons/South Wales

Great vid as always, nice looking Bergen… hope these companies take your always honest comments on board, nothing like a real life test and the voice of experience. Keep it up, I always look forward to the videos you release.

Mine arrived today, seems great chest strap would have been nice.

Nice one Jimmy .....whoooooop

Great review mate.

Looks really good. Thanks for the nice review 😊😊😊

great review!

Good morning just watched your video thank you really good. It’s making me go and definitely buy one now. The one thing is could you please give me the link or put what supplier you used for the sternum strap? I’m gonna need one of them I think. would you say that you could easily get a sleeping bag some clothes into the centre pocket? The middle compartment? It’s a lot smaller than I’m used to. I’m used to an actual British issued one but I don’t need that size. It’s too big now it’s just in case I go out for like a couple of days it’s more for clothing in the winter, I wanna make sure I can carry stuff if you know I mean definitely would like the sternum strap. Did you just order it and put it on yourself? Was it very easy to do that? I’m taking it. You just take the bottom straps off the webbing off the shoulder straps and then put the certain strap back together. Much appreciated, thank you. Grant

i like берег уп7 tents

Nice pack that, too big for what I need, but perfect for your needs.

THANKS JIM

👍👍⛺️⛺️👍👍

Alright Jimmy. I'll just warn you upfront I'm about to bore the arse off ya marra, so there's no real reply necessary here lol. I've been looking for a smaller bag exactly like this and looking into buying it though it's out of stock in olive green right now. But I have a few nibbles that prevent me from buying it right now. I own lot of bags, the main ones being Sabre 60-100, A custom Jay Jays short back convoluted thats exactly like that Kitpimp only bigger (hence the interest in a smaller exact same one) and a few. NI packs. Ok to to the meat here now, (speaking purely from a civvie POV and not military).This is marketed as a 35 litre bag..... But it's not, it's 69 litres in total. 35 main body 12 litres in three pouches, a 10 litre basha pouch and 12 litres is sides, if my math serves me right. 69 litres!! And the didn't fit load lifters. What were they thinking? Well, I'd say not civilian for starters. Like you say, it's designed to sit on a webbing belt to take some of the load off for sure, and that's great if your a soldier. But a civvie fully loading that Bergen with a lot more weight than a squad did would that possess no load lifters is gonna pull like hell on your shoulders after a short while. An example of this is an Italian guy I just watched ( I was gonna type this on his channel (don't wish I did marra lol) called Heavy trekking & survival I believe. He was showing his and if you watch it you can see the pack fully loaded and it's dragging off his back because there's no load lifters to pull it it. Ya gotta see it, it looks so uncomfortable on him let alone hike in it for a day or so. Anyhoo, I got to thinking maybe that's a reason your shoulder strap got a tear. It's a new bag so who knows, it could turn out to be a weak point. Sitting on webbing would take some of the stress off the shoulder straps but civvies ain't hiking in webbing. I appreciate it has a floating lid but that's by the by really. You can still fit load lifters. Consequently, having the lid fully extended and the pack fully loaded will only make the sag worse. Add to that high winds and you got some real problems., not just fatigue. Don't get me wrong here Jim, I'm not here to slag ya pack off, more I'm talking myself out of buying one, because I really want this, it just has issues for anyone wanting it for hiking or wild camping up the lakes and fells i believe. I can't for the life of me understand why the didn't add load lifters. I can only assume they target military customers and not civvies. Come to think of it, I never noticed a waist belt either so it's definitely built to sit on a webbing belt. No snow sleeves on the sides or drainage, cost shaving, slack design or just strange, it's anyone's guess I suppose. All in all it's a beautiful pack, great materials, £99 for mtp outstanding value right now. (No idea why it's £150 for olive green but I'll wait). If your pulling up in a car next to some woods and walking 500 yards in for a bit bushcraft, superb go for it. But if your like me and want it for that reason AND also for wild camping up the fells fully loaded out without a webbing belt, then this packs gonna desperately need a visit to jay jays for some load lifters and a waist belt or I envisage a world of discomfort. Though admittedly the waist belt would sit too high probably. I'll probably still buy this when it's available again in green, because, well, I never learn from my own critical thinking lol. I see what I like and buy it, but hey, arnt we all gear freaks. Nice one Jimmy, I just subscribed marra. Oh and enjoy ya time out in the field with the Mandingo. 👍 Oh, I did mean to ask ya, those three pouches, is one big enough to get a crusader water bottle AND cook set in? If not that's another mess kit rethink for me. Cheers bud

Nooo, don’t show me Bergen reviews. I’m already a pack whore 😁 Nice upfront review, Jimmy. Personally, I prefer an olive coloured pack nowadays, but it still looks the bizzo mate in MTP.

Here I am, first and I can't think what to say...

Are you buying Rooney one too 😂

looks heavy
