Need something a bit bigger than my overboard bumbag in ordeer to carry my stuff to work.

I've been looking at these

[b]The Gourdon 20 £20[/b]

[img] [/img]

or this

[b]Overboard Rucksack 20 £35[/b]

[img] [/img]

I know the overboard is £15 more than the Alpkit, but it [i]appears[/i] to have better straps.

Anybody use either and what are your opnions?

Chucky

Used a Gourdon for 3 years now, does the job perfectly well.

The gourdon is a decent lightweight and useful bag but the straps arnt particularly ergonomic and 20l is not particuly large.

I have a Gourdon. Only criticism is there's no external pocket(s) for keys, locks, etc.

Waitrose carriers add a touch of class,

I've been using a Gourdon 20l for three years, starting to show its age but its done everything from commuting to shopping to hill walking and even a bit of mountain biking, ace bag.
