Brit gear

Anyone seen any of this stuff available in the US? Picked one up this past weekend and would like to find accessories to go with it.
I believe it's a British PLCE Patrol Pack, 30 L or North Ireland Pack.

Got one and they are nice. Sanitize the top pockets at least.

Some buying tips:

Your pack should ride above the belt mounted pouches. Also, should you want a bigger pack, the bergens should ride above the pouches and come in 2 different back lengths to do so although I can't recall the guesstimated heights used for deciding between long and short back bergens.

Thank you gentlemen!

Ebay? Nothing came up in the dogpile, I'll give it another try.

I swabbed the pockets with alcohol. Just going to use them for non-food items
anyway.

That should neutralize the (rumor or true?) possible fecal matter.

You might have to use some different terms. Yoke(the shoulder harness), water bottle pouch(or is it pocket?,) and things like that. Seems like a holster is a pistol pouch or pocket?

Using "DPM" and "pouch" will often get it too.

It did pass the sniff test in the store before I bought it.

And, when I brought it home, the cat didn't seem particularly interested, that mean anything?

That is probably an excellent sign!

snugpack possibly?

It almost looks like a snugpack rocket pak(sp?) that i had a while back-do the side pockets zip off, with a couple straps that connect them to the main pack as well? there's a yoke that they can attach to, so you can use them sort of like an assault pack type thing if i recall...

The patrol pack pockets are sewn on, the lids are different, the patrol pack is about 2/3 the volume of the Snugpak, and the patrol pack does not have an internal frame.

The NI Patrol Pack is closest in size & features to the Snugpak Sleeka Force 35.

The Rocket Pak is like a shrunken short back bergen with a few ammenities. The side pockets & yokes interchange, but the main pack on the RP is not quite half the volume of the bergen.
