not got them anymore as I wore my pair out & they were discontinued when I went to buy replacements.
I thought they were brilliant, really practical, kept my feet warm & really easy to clean (wipe with a towel) although they could be a bit slippery in mud. I remember the first time I wore them on a social with some friends - they gave me loads of abuse & took the piss something rotten. By the end of the weekend, they had all gone online & ordered themselves a pair

>>>>a couple a couple of inches ‘rod space' would make any sort of difference to what you've said,<<<<
Really! I have just had a quick look at some of the dimensions of some pods and I see one 600mm wide, a pod that size would virtually take up the full width of the doorway and is more than twice the width of the bars I use on the pod that I sometimes have to use if I cannot use single sticks.
And doing a quick look at the size of "Bars" these days, it seems that the manufactures are creating the so called "Fad" of rods being close together by having a maximum size of around 300mm.

In a tight swim a tight set up makes practical sense; but tbf the only 'real' sensible set up is single sticks with rods spread / pointing directly to each spot in a direct line. Reality is however this takes time with multiple rods and its quicker to set up a pod / push in a single stick with buzz bars on your average 24hr session so nobody bothers . . . add to this the current 'fad' (perhaps) of 3x on a spot at 150yards and it gives the folding handle brigade an excuse . . . .
