I use the Korum Transition Folding Mat, good construction and packs down small. The sides are a good height and nicely padded too so you can use it as a larger flat mat should you ever need to (sides up it's just under 1m long, which some waters want, but sides down makes it about 1.3m)

Esp quickdraw or one of the pop up ones like the fox easy mat will be your best shout for pack up size

I've got the Fox easy mat. It's great for pack down and set up. But I wish the ends weren't as high. You really have to lift the fish up to get them out of the shot. Which I don't like doing.

Funnily enough I've got to do the same.
So far my searching has found the Korda basix one which looks pretty good, cheap and looks like it's reasonably compact - I like the idea of storing stuff in it because it zips up

I bought the Korda basix one, great mate and very well made, has sides and zips up like a bag type thing.

I have the fox easy mat, its fine for fish safety. It folds up easy enough and packs away ok and no problem on a barrow but if im travelling light i put the rucky straps through the handles and just leave it to dangle.
It might look a bit daft but it doesnt swing around and feel weird when im walking.

Avid captive cot is another good option.

Mate has the Korda basix one, not sure the sides are high enough personally.
I have a xl easy mat, it is rather large. Makes a mat shot of a 30 look laughable.

Oops sorry just seen you want a small pack down size, the trakker isn't the one then

Thanks , got some researching to do
