I use a Mil tec brand One O' these
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mil-Tec-Patrol-...m570.l1313 45L is too much and 28L is too small but this one is just right. I used to use it as a Day pack. On a typical day it would carry: My laptop & charger (16 inch?) and charger. 1L water bottle. Two small bottles of luca Full set of thermals Norgie Work boots Spare Jeans & tee shirt. Full trauma Pack 1 inch of paperwork Various small tools one or two bricks smuggled in as a prank Still room to spare if i utilized the Molle In addition to helmet, tools and the like dangling through the molle hoops. For £30 odd quid it isn't super gucci like Warrior or Camelback, but it got the job done. But it doesn't break the bank, and i certainly didn't mind if it got ruined but it just tanks on. Its now replaced with a designer canvass satchel that only fits half the stuff, but encourages me to carry a lot less. This one site in the back of my defender, i had intentions on using it as a SHTF bag with some basic survival gear but frankly can't be arsed to pay out £500+ for all the tools i already own.

Cheers osloblue, not seen the warrior stuff and not thought of camelback I’ll look into them a bit more. I’d been looking at the MOLLE stuff from military 1st as I though if I had some webbing in the 110 I’d be able to transfer stuff from defender to backpack as needed

No worries mate, if you do have webbing lying about how old is it? The MOD started phasing out PLCE in 2005/6 with the introduction of the Osprey Black bag system which utilises molle. These days i think PLCE is relegated to training/gate guard duties in the same way as ECBA is.
These days all "battlebelt" setups are now molle compatible, as is my current setup. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/ Current: TD5 '110 "Lucinda" Thread here: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic62562.html |

Sorry I proably used webbing as a description for the MOLLE mounting.
I’ve seen this eBay Item No. 302786705780 I like the way it attaches to the side so I was looking to get something custom made with less pockets and more Molle webbing on so I can attach as required @mk1collector they look a decent pack, just a bit to trendy for me |

I've got one of the Mil Tec rucksacks and for the money, they're difficult to fault. I'm also a big fan of Maxpedition, though - more choices than you can shake a stick at. Darren

I've been using one of these for the last circa 5 years (albeit the earlier version).
I'm not suggesting it's the be all and end all but certainly worth considering. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/tra...-messenger |
