Hi guys
What back packs are you using .

Had a few over the years but wondered which one is best now.

Cheers

couldn't tell you what's best but I get mine off eBay from around £50 - all are now more than 3 years old and used 3 to 4 times a week for s/f/g works and all have lasted well

to me, they look the same as "branded" items from the likes of wcw etc who put a price of 200+ quid

same.   I think they are all pretty much the same .
although the gardiner back pack does have a larger battery.

Any chance of a link of the ebay backpacks Darren? I'm fed up of the gardiners ones dying.

I (rarely) use the below backpack £89, single speed version as there is less to go wrong, just a batt and pump in it so easy to change if so.
