  • View Answers buy the ravenna riding boots, which I believe I would get actual use out of buy the bergens in brown, which would only go with a few outfits I wear (brown isn't my color), and might have to be sent back because I'm not 100% sure of the fit, but damn they're sexy buy the sexy, sexy cadiz even if I will only wear them nine times in my life hang the expense and buy them all; they'd better all goddamned last a lifetime at that cost anyway

  • Shallow end of genepool - short back. danke gentlemen, i now have a spanking new longback bergen - with pouches - for the silly price of £40! the fitting of the bergens is bizarre, i'm 5'8 '' but the shortback ends 6 inches from my hips and the hip belt (clue) goes around the bottom of my rib cage. not being a reet sad fcuker i woun't be wearing belt kit on a civvy climbing/walking trip, and in February in the north-west highlands there's very little tabbing to be done .... so the long back is definately the right 'sac. shortback probably best if you have belt kit little point having a fancy back system on a military pack there designed to transfer weight from the back to the hips utterly pointless if your going to have a load of pouches on and around your hips.
