The bag im taking with me on the 22nd of feb is more than enough but is worth the money, it's a huge bag 100+ltrs extendible handle and wheels for easy moving.

Enough room for KIT and clothes, and room to spare. hope it helps lads, i was told you're not allowed to take to many bags as safe storage space is limited. (might not be fact thou)

I can curl up inside it and have room to spare and i'm 5' 9'', I've now got it packed with every bit of the 'ITC reporting for duty kit list' and have enough room for cloths and shoes AND more kit. seriously go to you're local asda and check it out. you can't go wrong it's 165 ltrs too.

Yeah sorry Argos, crossing wires in my head. it's definitely worth it mate, it's close to if not bigger than some military burgans.

Hey no problem Silas, seriously when you get it (if you haven't all ready) you'll see how over sized it is, seriously worth the money.

I'm taking on i got free with my Lynx stuff, but probably a kind of water proof bag would be required, i think it is a must as NCO's wouldn't like to keep finding lynx bottles every where.
