Good points 👍
The flaw that I notice that is wrong with the Speero design is there's no tension straps on the shoulder area (the same problem with that one you threw up a link to) whereby you can't get the rucksack close to your back. As the rucksack is now, when fully loaded, that will put considerable pressure on your mid to lower back which isn't good at all. When you start clipping the extra accessory bags on top of the main bag, that will only amplify the flaw.
If you watch one of the used and abused videos about this rucksack, when the guy is posing with it, the problem is self evident.

The most comfortable rucksack I've used the harness is a military design but the bag is designed for anglers. It can be accessed stood up or laid flat, the quality is better than military ones I've had but like any ruck it needs to be loaded to distribute the weight to suit the person using it.
It wasn't tested on advanced machines in Porton down but contrary what some may believe neither are army issue ones.

Reminds me of my osprey rucksack. Surely what's needed is something like the osprey harness system with the actual sack adapted for fishing sized boxes and banksticks, buzzer bars etc. Wouldn't be cheap though would it.

You are forgetting the fact that regardless of reliability or longevity, the civilian man who wears military kit will always look like a bit of a w**nker

Ya there normally the type that fancied being a soldier but never had the bottle to join up also shoot animals for fun because they don't shoot back

There are those that think it's some catwalk show with the latest must have...form over function. Myself, if it's good and does the job well, couldn't give a flying fugg what I look like to be honest.

And there you go again, throwing around wild accusations like confetti.
You'd look so stupid if you knew how wrong you are

Another consideration especially for the roaming/river angler is waterproofness , nothing worse than all the gear/camera etc inside a bag that lets the rain in

The only thing he is good at shooting off his that mouth of his.Buy what you want at the end of the day its your choice and your money.

That is a very good point I have never thought to much about it the gear allways under a brolly if raining I take it the army ones are waterproof is there any others claim they are

This is adapted for fishing size boxes, banks ticks etc and the material has a coated inner and waterproof cover, don't know if it's still available but it's a fox fx.

Very well designed rucksack from Fox there, best I've seen so far. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore.

Very well designed, Probably why they stopped making it.
Lasted longer than a seasoned regular use... maybe even comfortable and hard wearing.
So not Fox.
Sooner or later someone, hopefully Thinking anglers, might do it, will get the brief right, a practical, and comfortable to carry Rucksack, with a padded, or hard plate, back length, good shoulder straps, sternum strap, and a comfortable Hip belt straps
