The COTD Caribee Starlight 40L rucksack deal is back again. For those who bought it the last time, is it a good rucksack? I can't find any info on the net on it.

$49.95 + $6.95 shipping.
Thanks!
The other deal mentioned that it's likely to be a model made for some asian markets. It did seem strange that it's nowhere to be found on the net though.
Did anyone actually buy one?
i could be completely wrong, but if it's designed specifically for the asian markets, i wouldn't buy this if you're tall.
Also, you get what you pay for. I'm not sure you would want to be hiking in snow with a loaded $50 backpack.
Ahh, tallness is not a problem for me… unfortunately!
Mmm yeah I definitely wouldn't put it in the same league as 'proper' brands like Karrimor and North Face, but if it's decent (since it's meant to cost more full-price), it could be worth it?
An adventure store in the city was moving a few months ago, they had nice Karrimors at $49. I was umm'ing and ahh'ing and didn't get it. Kicking myself now!
Karrimors at $49
:o what a deal!
In case anyone's interested, COTD has dropped the price on these. They're now $29.95 plus $6.95 shipping. There's a $10 shipping cap at the moment too.

I'm sure glad I didn't buy it before. :)
I recall these being advertised before and they weren't legit Caribee backpack models? Anyone else remember this? I couldn't find the model numbers on Google.
