Anyone seen one for real and have initial feedback?

Nearly £200 seems a bit spenny to me.

Just get a dutch army day sack and buy some pouches to stick in it.
Proper DPM.

With one of all the additional extras they sell for it, the total price comes in at £415....


They do look a great piece of kit, but for that money id rather invest in something that can actually improve my chances of catching and have a cheaper storage alternative.

Wowzers, didn't look at the extras.

I had been waiting to see it launch but think I know this is well outside my budget sadly.

Hope it's a great success for them

Been using army surplus bergens and day packs for donkeys years. Add whatever size Molle packs you want. Seem to last forever and nothing wears out.

I had the same reaction, yet seems like they sold a lot on the first day nonetheless.
Considering the equivalent TA/Trackker/ESP bags it seems a lot and nothing too revolutionary on it.

Its over £400 if you add the pouches that are shown on the one in the video. The basic rucksack is £200. I use cotswold and speero luggage and have done for years and i personally think my speero gear is better made and better thought out and less than half the price. The speero material seems to be identical to my cotswold gear as well.

Made in the UK. You have to pay for that. It doesn't necessarily make it any better but it does make it more expensive. There is probably more profit in a £90 Speero bag made in China than a £250 bag made here.

It's not even their most expensive single bit of kit!

Obviously this is the new direction of travel for CA since Jag has taken them over.

Ive had a few of cotswold rucksacks over the years and they are so uncomfortable so always stuck to their carryalls.

The cotswold deceptor rucksack i had was £220 and that was probably 7 years ago. Couldnt carry it on your back as it hurt and you could never find anything as it had so many pockets and i could never remember what was in each pocket so constantly going through all the pockets to find the thing i wanted.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
