- I love British backpacks/rucksacks. Berghaus and Karrimor are very popular
- in Europe. I have used both of them. Berghaus's designs are very practical
- while Karrimor's are fancier. I personally have 3 Karrimor backpacks (of
- different sizes). My favorite is their (Berghaus and Karrimor) unique hip-belt
- buckle design. Climb High is the dealer of Karrimor in the States. However, I
- don't think Berghaus is available in the States. (What a pity.) Before I
- bought my Karrimor Condor, I did some researches in rucksacks. I think Dana
- Designs's are pretty innovative; North Face's are quite good too. Nonetheless,
- I still chose Karrimor.
