In reply to Neil Williams:
i''d hit ebay - berghaus do, or used to do - a series called Cyclops, and the three sacks in that class that are big are the Roc, which is the lightest at 70/80ltr (but big), and then the Crusader and the Vulcan that top in at about 120/130ltr, but again, big.
i've just sold a Vulcan that i bought in the mid-90's, that did a dozen tours, and is still in fantastic nick for £50. they are heavy relative to a much more modern sack - the Vulcan and Crusader roll in at about 3kg and the Roc at about 1.7kg - but they are genuinely bombproof. i have a roc i bought second hand in about 92 that i use as my backpacking sack, while the Berghaus extrem Expedition (90ltr?) that i bought in about 2001 or so is still ok, but my grandchildren will be able to use the Roc, not so the Expedition....
KarrimorSF do some fantastic sacks as well - the issue 120ltr rucksack, called the PLCE Infantry Bergen, is even more solid than a Vulcan or Crusader (the MOD nicked the design of the Crusader after the Falklands to produce the issue sack), but it is heavier, less comfortable over a t-shirt, and its designed to sit higher up the back to allow soldiers to wear it over belt-kit. if it happens to fit you, then they are fantastic sacks that you'll get for a song, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
