I've got a Karrimor 65+, but can't remember if it's the Panther (might be the Cougar). The rucksack's at home but I'm not which is why I can't check. I use it for multi-day self-sufficiency trips, and can report that it's a good, tough, comfortable pack. The shoulder straps are well padded and the belt strap is quite serious but well padded enough to help take the weight comfortably on the hips.
I remember reading when Trail reviewed larger rucksacks a few years ago, that their only negative comment was that it weighed more than most of the competition. It's probably its weight though that gives it a solid, hard-wearing feel which I find comforting when I'm days away from civilisation and have to rely on what's on my back for survival. I have reflected in the past on how difficult things could become if a strap were to go, and this pack gives a secure feeling.
