Re: rm bags are anoying !!!!!
No word of a lie i'd said the exact same thing to the girlfriend on Friday night about how it'd be better with a ruck-sack style bag that kept the weight central rather than to 1 side. When i done my training ( yes hard to believe but i had a full week off training not like the Tooting Office lol ) we were told to swap your bag to the opposite shoulder every hour, which i must admit i honestly can't manage as i'm totaly right sided.. even at school putting my school bag over my left shoulder it felt lop-sided and uncomfortable, so being right handed there's no way i can put my mail bag over my left shoulder, bundle in left arm and deliver mail. Ruck-sack seems a brill idea....

i am dropping my bag for packets i find the pockets now and again its anoying to swing it over my head - and not enough pockets - would like more pockets.brothermagrew wrote:Probably not but would you care to enlighten us as to why you particularly hate the bags we are supplied with.el_cartero wrote:I hate the bags we are supplied with id much rather be using a two shoulder back pack ..

the security of the bags are bad no zips. buckles allways snap etc. the material is crap .
we are told to drap it over our shoulder - this isnt allways possible and is awkwurd.
these bags are designed for woman.
i want a mans - back pack - that i can walk properly with instead of swaying about .
the army use back packs - so should we.

Would be nice if they were waterproof. After walking around for 5 minutes in the rain the bag absolutely reeks, people dont realise the smells coming from the bag and not me

/prepares for flaming...
I actually like my RM bag, it is quite comfortable to carry, and is about the right size for what I need. I agree that it should be waterproof, but that is about the only problem I have had so far.
