Seen pictures and the ones stood up next to the brolly. If im honest i would of bought them even if i hadnt even seen a picture. I live on the northumberland coast line so there are no shops to look at anything. Its all bought blind.

I had the old link sleeves. Love the stripped back simplicity of them but the reel pocket was huge on them. The new rs sleeves look like they have addresses all the original issues. They have a much more compact design and now clip together.

Anywhere to clip net / sling to?

Rather than using a quiver for example

They are just sleeves. Get the rh holdall if you want to attach a net etc. I had the new holdall when it first came out but it was for me as dont really like pockets, brolly holders etc.

So are these the same concept as the Korda Divide system, that korda seemed to flog off cheap about a year ago?

Hmm okay.

Thought the side ones might have had a little area to slip net into & sling the other side.

Would rather not have the bag with full pockets for everything

Chufty for you Rob, you turned me into a cotswold addict and I still have items I bought off you 10 years ago and they are still in incredible condition even the zips. that new rod bag looks tempting as I've just bought some new rods. Its hard to tell if the rod top sections are padded as I have single legged rings so think they need a bit more protection.

A bit of feedback for you: the older generation are not on the whole into tic Tok or instagram so maybe more YouTube video reviews would help to showcase the products

I bought one and they are definitely padded but it wasnt for me so sent it back. Ive just bought the new RS 3 rod sleeve system though and that is spot on and really streamlined and well thought out. The new cool bag is in a total different league altogether over any other cool bag.

Love to use most of my Cotswold Aquarius bought luggage from the past years.

Did noticed the takeover of Cotwold Aquarius by Prolite Explorer. But also noticed the increased prices of the already expensive luggage. Just checked my in 2020 bought luggage directly from Cotswold Aquarius and the prices of several of these items increased by >52%. That's not just normal inflation in the inbetween years.

In the event of worn luggage will look for some alternative items.
