Hi Guy's
sometime back I saw that someone on here had a backpack/bodyarmour/waterbladder system that was made in Australia. I can't google it anywhere so I was wondering if any of you blokes know what the name of the company is.
Thanks Ralph

 

Here's what you want.

Who's using this? How do you like it? Looks real nice, but very expensive. $275 US shipped. Right now I just wear a pack over top of my chest protector, seems to work well enough, if a little cumbersome and not the most convenient. It would have to be pretty impressive for that price. Any recommendations, pro or con? I would have already bought it if it was in the $125-$150 range. But the price is putting me off.

 

At the moment or economy is gold and yours is dirt. Don't get much for your greenback now eh!

 

WHAT!

Aussie bankers and your banking system didn't join in the free-for-all "Make a shi#tlo$d of money via financial products/transactions nobody understands, with zero collateral backing them up, and we'll top it off with millions of people who don't understand basic finance that can be sucked into debt levels they could never afford, but that OK cause we'll make shi#tlo$d money off them too. Woo-hoo, let da' good times roll".

Makes one think you Aussie's (and Canadians, and Brazilians and, and, and) are bunch of anti-free market Socialist Commies. Or not idiots like 2/3 of the world. Hmm ... which would it be.

Just for that I'm canceling my extravagant vacation to Australia I'd planned. You're not getting my worthless greenbacks. Ha, take that.

 

Thanks Westy!!!
That is the one!!!!
It looks pretty skookum!! I am trying to find something that will do me for my planned continental divide trip. I am planning on August/September and it is hot as hades in some of the states I will be travelling through. I am solo so I want some good pro and I want to keep it simple.
Thanks again.

 

Now? Been that way for a while. Still can't escape the reality that that nice little chest protector is about $150 more than it should be, though.

 

Too true

 

Too much $$ for me too. i prefer to send my green over to you guys in the USA. You get plenty of gear for little coin at the moment due to the great exchange rate. Good for USA shops that export.

 

Yikes! I love the SP-3 even at that price I'm so tempted to part with the exorbitant amount of money that they're asking for it. But not today.
