Been looking for SAs on 2nd hand marketplaces and came across one at a great price from a highly-rated seller, who indicated it was a first generation SA. 1050d ballistic, with green accent panel. (maybe he is also in this forum lol)
Does anyone know what is the difference between the first version of the bag and the current one? For one, he told me there is no elastic cord nor tabs for it.
From this 2008 thread (i did trawl the forums lol) https://forums.tombihn.com/general-b...ackpack-q.html I learned that there was the pocket bottle in the re-design too.
Any other things I'm missing out? o-rings (or lack of them?) Lining fabric? Straps and placement? (fwiw i'm 5'0)
I just want to make an informed decision for my purchase.
Might consider sewing on the tabs for elastic cord myself, which would be a nice to have, but not a need to have.
thanks in advance!
(i regret not buying the SA when it was available. i had gotten the S19 and i love mine very much. but want an SA for travel)
