Argos eBay outlet has the Regatta Survivor 65 Litre Rucksack for just £17.99. I found relatively good reviews from a few places online although 1 or 2 on the Argos website had a few problems with it. Comes with a 1 year guarantee though so that should protect against any initial problems. Also comes with free delivery.

I've got this, or very very similar Karrimor version for commuting on my motorbike. Can hold plenty of stuff including my laptop in its own standard bag

I'd never buy a cheap pack, the harness systems are invariably poor making that one you've got a few kilos in it, you'll feel it and it'll soon become very uncomfortable, if not painful.
But hey, if this is just to stuff a few things in for a festival, or the furthest it's ever going to be carried is from the car park to your room, then go right ahead. Each to their own.

Not many weight concerned hikers would buy a £18 Bergen tbh

1.9KG? Ouch. If weight is a concern, you can buy a lot lighter for only another £20 or £30.

So for more than twice as much...

You appreciate that £20 or £30 more is 'only' over 100% or 150% more than the price here, right...?

This amazon review is slightly off-putting :laughing:
