What are your views with all luggage matching?
I am looking to upgrade quite a few bits including rod holdall, rod sleeves (spod & marker) , barrow bag, rucksack & brolly bag and like the look of the Fox Camolite stuff but just feel a bit of a wally with a full matching set.
Not sure whether I should swap a couple of items out for plain green just to look more 'Carpy'

Buy what you need to use which suits you. Why need to look anything?

I was just curious to peoples views. I like the Camolite stuff for quality but just wish it was all plain green - Not trying to look anything.

I don't care if mine is green camo flektarn black or even yellow with blue spots
If it serves me a purpose and fits the requirement then so be it.
I have various pieces from
Aqua
Cotswold
Thinking anglers
Asda
Avid
Chub
Korum
Nash
Sonik
Thermos
And more

Nope not bothered at all if my luggage matches which mine don't I just buy what fits my needs

I have everything that I need in the Camolite range and having it all matching has definitely put extra fish on the bank

Most of my luggage is fox camolite. Started off with the rucksack which is great for days/ travelling light. Got the 2 man cooler cos it fits all my cooking gear, food and some bait for a couple of days. Got the 2 plus 2 rod bag cos its compact and doesn't weigh a ton. I ended up with them mainly cos they suit my needs. I've found them to be well made. Sure, they look ok, but the matching bit is just a bit fortunate. Get what suits you and what you like.

Cheers mate. I knew I was leaving myself open posting this as the 'Old School' anglers would tell me to use an old army bergen and some elastic bands....and others would say things like 'it doesn't matter as the fish can't see what you are using'
I have the explorer barrow and love the quality of the bag (zips/stitching etc) so the matching set is an obvious choice.

When all the manufacturers just made green equipment you could buy the item that suited your needs from anyone.
The marketing men have now got got you sticking to one brand cos you like their camo.... even if the item is not exactly suitable.
very clever

Agreed
Nothing of mine matches. I have an old SLAM (Sundridge)rucksack it's green but not what you'd call 'proper' fishing green and I do get some strange looks and the odd comment, it's something I have to put up with. Maybe some people haven't got the confidence to handle that?
