If it's the same as the one I've got, they are pretty good, yes. I would've been using mine, but I think I can fit everything into my large pack. If you're going German, will you need one ?

Is it the full type (webbing material front and back with bakerlite inner) or the austerity type (webbing flap on the front attached to a bakerlitee back)? If it's the full type, thats a real bargain!
