    Im looking to get a new rucksack, probably a 45 liter North face Terra nova, or a North face Prophet 40.

    Im looking for a reputable and reasonably priced seller.

    If anyone has any suggestions on another rucksack of up to 50 liters for around 100 to 150 euros, Id love to hear your opinions.

    cheers

    I've used all of the following and had no issues at all. As a matter of fact I've found all of them helpful and quick to respond to email.
    In no particular order.....

    www.needlesports.com

    I was on the look out for a pack of similar size a while ago and I boiled it down to the Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 and the Blue Ice 45L.
    I went with the Blue Ice pack in the end direct from the manufacturers but Alpine sports above are also doing it now.

    There's a host of others in that size out there. Aiguille in England, CCW and Cilo Gear in the States to name a few. The thing is trying to fit them all to see what suits you best.
    Best of luck and have fun on the hills!

    Nice one Roen, I went with the Blue Ice one, looks good and great to see someone living the dream in the mountains designing & testing that kit.

    Good stuff Lee, it's a nice light weight pack.
    It's seen a nice few days on the crags so far and is grand and comfortable. I'll be using it in Scotland in the new year too for winter mountaineering. Strips down to half nothing too!
