Why do people continue to buy rucksacks sold by fishing tackle companies (rhetorical question)... it's all over-priced rubbish. Just look at what you can get for your money elsewhere... Wisport, Condor, Direct Action - all make rucksacks that are in another league to the rubbish you buy from tackle shops. Just take a look at Miltary 1st and realise what you've been missing...

Inb4 the usual suspects - what are you man, some SAS wannabe, huh? Nah, I just know that tackle companies make s_hit rucksacks, kys.

I mentioned military rucksacks on here a few times, unfortunately the majority won't listen and just keep buying the same garbage time and time again - it's...



The best military rucksack I've ever had is the LOWE ALPINE Sting burgen. It's fully adjustable and as comfy as you're ever likely to come across, and just about the right size for a day pack with loads of room. You could always get the LOWE ALPINE Saracen, that is very big mind, equally as comfy as the former I mentioned. You can always get one of the newer British Army burgens, though they will be too big for many and not as comfy as the LOWE ALPINE ones.

One reason, because its carp fishing and it wont look right. Carp fishing is a fashion statement now.

Oh poor.you, a rucksack that won't stand up on its own and that you packed poorly. Jesus.

Well, you go waste your money on more tat, and when you come back on here in a few months time grizzling about how crap it is, I'll be here laughing my arse off at you and I'll be the one saying I told you so 👍

I think they just added the to pocket and tray to the TA rucksack. I have the old one and it has the same depth and width when I measure it.
I have the ESP rucksack and to me it's the perfect size. The opening for the main compartment is 20cm x 35cm on the ESP and 20cm x 25cm on the TA. The side and front pockets on the ESP are also bigger.
I know the ESP isn't military spec, but it's designed with a foot print so it will stand up without falling over so I can have it right beside my chair which is handy as I mostly fish day sessions

Does it really matter about military spec,you are not going to be running with it or carrying it for hours and hours on end
Are you sure?
