They are enormous packed down, to the point its probably better to leave it set up and put stuff in it. Take an age to dry as well

Nothing wrong with fox pop up cradles -light, packs away reasonably small & keep carp safe- no issue.

Cotswold one either standard or xl is superb and not that expensive now compared to most of the better ones.

Not enormous as someone else said but they are a large, well padded unhooking mat so it is hard to get something compact without compromising on quality...

Its huge if left as it comes in the bag but if separated and folded as shown on Trakker video with the outer put under the retaining flap its no bigger than a large flat mat.

Shop around for best price, but I have a Rod Hutchinson Cabrio Mat.
It is huge, fills up the Golf Hatchback boot, on top of my trolley, day chair, but also doubles as a trolley carryall.

The linky thing will or should, take you to the RH specs page.

Yes, I got mine as a subsidised angler, but honestly it is one I would choose myself.
It has had the abuse of a couple of years use, pike to over 20lb, and carp to 30lb.
