Namely the ones that sit at the front of the barrow

Are they any good or do they just unbalance the barrow and make it harder to use?

I'd be looking at either the basic front bag or compact front bag on an original portal item

I did have the drop in bag that came with the barrow for a few years but found it rubbed up against the barrow wheel so wasn't a very well thought out bag

Cheers

And in response to your actual question no it's fine, I have a bucket thing in the front with 5kg bait in, and bag on top of that with cooking gear and tech bag and it's fine

I've got one for my MK2 Fatboy bit don't use it, used it once, good idea if you want to leave it on the battle all the time but a faff to take off and put on again of you want to take it off and put it in your bivvy. Does throw the balance off if you put heavy stuff in yes. Gets in the way of transporting the barrow as well.

I bought the large bag, it's a really well made piece of kit. As the last poster said, they're a bit off a faff to get on and off and I also found that if it was loaded up heavy, you had to put the bottom bag in first otherwise it would just tip the barrow on its nose.

That said, when it's all fully loaded, I find it's useful to have that extra space

I've been looking at something similar. Ideally want a food bag and ideally something to sit on the front of a Tri Porter. The deluxe food bag looks ideal.
Are you sure?
