I've not used either mentioned but can highly recommend the speero . Their rucksacks come in two sizes . I have the large and find it very well made and comfy on the back .

I agree the esp original with the 2 straps on front was super comfortable the QuickDraw is not bad but not as comfortable

I'm trying to cut back on kit, as I'm at a point in my life where I'm enjoying getting rid of stuff so I can see exactly what I need, less clutter (50 yearsold) - aiming to leave anything that is surplus in a couple of buckets in the car, so if push comes to shove, I can reel in and get those spares.
I have had a close looks at the TA rucksack, and the ESP quick draw, and the speero luggage.
For me, hands down, it is the ESP quick draw. Lovely piece of kit. The main thing is the lid and how quickly once on the bank you can get going with opening the lip for baiting, leads, floss, rigs, pva mesh etc.
ESP quickdraw is slightly bigger than the TA one and also the way it holds the unhooking mat is sublime. I got the smaller unhooking mat as it's plenty big enough for me, and it has sides which one lake I fish insists on.
The bite alarms and banksticks go on the front - which the TA version didn't have. ESP can also go on the sides too if prefered. Esp has more room in the loops.
Speero - for me I do not like how they are made and found the zips tricky. Zips are so important for lots of reasons - and the best I've had have been the korda zips on some of their luggage.
The ESP quickdraw can also be pimped up with some careful use of caribeners.
Very happy with it.

I've had the TA one and felt it was always a little too small for what I needed roving.
I also checked the Korum ones and ESP. in the end I got a bigger (aqua) rucksack. In the spring/summer it's maybe third or half full, but yesterday with the brewkit, pot noodles and a fleece it was about 90% full.
The fishing kit I take winter and summer doesn't change, but it's all the other bits that made me realise one bigger rucksack made more sense.
