Spika Drover 40L Reviews Please.

Gidday,

As per title. Real world kiwi reviews wanted please.

I know there’s plenty of other options like Twin Needle, Cactus ($$$), Tatonka etc.

Like the idea of meat shelf.

Any advice much appreciated.

@hunt08 rates his one. @Happy Jack has the 80L.

I took a good look at them and probably would've brought if I hadn't got a Stone Glacier on the secondhand market. Some discussion in the thread below:

Like my 80L will possibly look at the 40L bag to go with it next year. Been using it as a day pack while we travel as space determined I could only bring one pack.

Mines been a great work horse they have changed the model to my one so one would they are still as good but if you got any questions flick me a message & I'll answer the best I can. I have fly camped out my 40l one easily carried out hole fallow deer in the meat shelf & it's carried lots off boned out animals but packs are like boots you do need to find one that fits you

I'm short and mine is one of the packs that fit my frame with it's adjustable frame. Tatonkas don't fit me.

It's a solid pack roll top and removable lid, strong material, pockets on hip belt, built in rain cover, removable stock scabbard which is in the center, one large bag with a front separate compartment.

Haven't managed to wreck mine yet. I swap from the 40lt to 80ltr pending time of year, distance and terrain. Fits my body (170cm x 80kg) My only gripe with them is they make loads feel lighter than they are, so its easy to start over load at starting point, only to realise your mistake 4hrs in, and be reminded of that mistake when you roll out your tent the next morning.
