I agree shipping not filled makes total sense you can get loads in a box
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #161
based on current shipping costs i would expect things like foam / poly mats are going to soar in price as you are shipping so much air - i got something delivered last week in a TA unhooking mat outer box (two mats) it was huge - i expect Speero could fit 100 of these unfilled mats in the same box.... so it makes business sense!

In reply to Post #160
Like I said in an earlier post I have got the born and bred mat.I had a layer of poly balls added at no extra cost.It folds up and is lightweight,best mat I have owned
|

In reply to Post #160
I don’t think it’s a very good idea tbh
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #159
It has the potential to be a good product, but if it is just poly balls it needs to be tightly filled, to give the correct protection but then there is not enough 'give' in it to fold up for transport, like the old aqua mega mat
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #157
It wasn't when I looked  .The one I saw on the earlier pictures was folded and had a shoulder strap

In reply to Post #154
it is strange there is no sign of the mat on their Facebook or website.It does not look upto the usual Speero quality
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #152
Sorry to hear speero is great but I think it’s the same old story there bringing out to much gear out at the same time something has to give think it would have been better to leave mats there’s enough out there and bring out the two or three rod sleeve now as people have bought the rucksack and carryall they want to match it
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #152
Looks like a bit of an oversight to not allow full access to one side so you can add a layer of foam and then polyballs, which is far better than just polyballs imo
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #151
The stitching underneath looked like a 3 year old had done it.No clips to fold it or shoulder strap,does not look like the one I saw in the pictures before
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #150
I thought the same. Its like a bean bag design with the zips. There will be poly balls everywhere. Doesnt seem as well thought out as the luggage.

Just seen a picture of the unhooking mat on the e-leisure ebay store,I have got to say that it looks cheap and not well made at all
|
|

My compact rucksack turned up today . What a fantastic well thought out bit of kit. Before I used an aqua compact carry all but was limited to taking a barrow as it was a pain to carry and meant off loading my gear into another rucksack. This rucksack will sit equally as well on my barrow as it will on my back .... credit where's due. Speero have nailed it with this.

nice one, its a pain in the arse not being able to get to a shop and have a hold or play with products.

In reply to Post #146
Not yet,only seen a picture of a guy carrying one.I have the born and bred mat with added poly balls,it is so light and offers amazing protection.Its well worth a look and has green and dpm on it so will match the speero gear nicely
|
|
|
|

anyone seen the unhooking mat in the flesh?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #143
Kept it on my back for a good while,not been out yet but it's alot more comfy than the TA one which I did not find too bad.It is more of a square shape than the TA one but the padding sits nicely on your shoulders and lower back.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #142
Is it like a box and is it a lot bigger than the ta one

Have you just thrown it on your back or have you walked a decent distance with it yet

Tested and it is far from uncomfortable,the straps and back panel are so well padded.Its very well thought out and loads of room without it being too big

I placed an order over the phone with CA years back. They shipped the goods and forgot the Bill my card.

Cotswold customer service is good if asking about ordering something but you have an issue like I did and they did not want to know
|
|
|
|
|
Cotswold even charged me £11 delivery on a £200 order last week, which is a piss take. The only thing i would change on my speero modular cool bag would be the flap type kangaroo pocket with buckles on to a zip like the others but thats my only gripe and i can live with that.

In reply to Post #133
Mine arrived this morning,first impressions are superb.Can fit everything I need to get fishing in the outside pockets,korda tacklebox fits perfectly in the side pocket.Going sort all of the rest tomorrow,dont want take all the excitement up in one day 
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #133
Yep I've been very impressed with all the speero gear I have bought so far... Especially compared to some of the other brands I've had... Had some items couple of years now and they still look new, and that's fishing all year once a week... Big thumbs up like you say stu 😊
|
|
|
|
|
Rucksack arrived a day early. Usual excellent quality and the perfect size, so another thumbs up. I cant see why anyone would choose another brand for luggage if im honest. Korda must be a bit sick as they have just recently released all there luggage which is crap in comparison and cotswold are going to have to really drop there prices if they want to compete. It makes a nice change to see a good brand putting out decent gear without the ridiculous carp tax.

On a serious note it does look quality kit, so much so that I've sold most of my CA gear. I'm just waiting to see if they bring out a tri sleeve before I invest...

Not any for shorter rods yet

I’m tempted now too, it’s great that they are adjustable as I use different length rods depending on the water

I have the Speero original quiver which is a basic design, what I do like though is the rod sleeves, well thought out, adjustable and well made.

Can you not use the sleeves on the new quiver,I hate leaving my rods exposed.I always think I will damage mine leaving them like that
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #101
I'm with you on the rod bags , Cotswold are very well padded and do the job very well . That said a fair bit of the Cotswold range is not great . The deceptor rucksack has to be the piss poor design of the decade. Hardly deceptive as the name suggests when it has a footprint of a small bungalow when you need to get into it. The wader bucket is next to useless . The unhooking cradle mat sides are floppy when wet and wouldn't retain a gold fish let alone a decent carp. Are people still brand loyal these days ? I was to cotswold for a good few years but gave my head a bit of a wobble. And now I use a mixture of aqua speero and Cotswold. Hopefully picking the best of what I need out of these three . As already pointed like esp speero will do well as the quality is very good for not a lot of money , in comparison to the likes of the ***** Trakker turn out for similar prices
|
|
|
|
|
I've just got the quiver base,hood and 3 full rod sleeves,had I known they were bringing out a lightweight version I would have waited...hence why its in the classifieds for no other reason than the scaled back version will suit me better going forward.

As I said they seem to focus on big luggage I think they realised there missing a trick making a small rucksack as the fashion is to go light

The Speero rod bag is very well padded like the cotswold gear,just cheaper.I will wait until Speero do more rod protection and probably switch to that then
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #53
Just bought it direct from there website. Just paid the price that was on the site. Still not that keen on there rod protection so bought a cotswold link double rod sleeve and a single link rod sleeve. I still think cotswold do the best rod sleeves and rod holdalls on the market. I really like the minimalist compact idea of the cotswold link double sleeve. Hopefully it will be a good match or it will play havoc with my ocd 😀

I like the fact that you can add on to the rucksack and modular system with extra bags. Got the bait modular carryall attached to the rucksack and an insulated add on too. Perfect for the long sessions.

In reply to Post #23
I find if you lean forward slightly and tighten the straps the chest straps sits lower and the padding goes around further.Im tempted take mine to a woman I know (after lockdown of course)to see if she can stitch the webbing straps to the padding
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #22
Ya I agree that was the biggest problem the strapping not sawn to the padding cut into sides and harness not big enough difficult to get on and chest strap a bit high
|

Strange as a love mine,it sits perfectly on my back.The only thing I would change is the padding on the strap so it was stitched all the way down

In reply to Post #11
Not sure about the huge end pockets on the carryall look a bit odd so will probably go with the cool bag and use it as a carryall and add tye modular rectangle coolbag to the top. Like the rigid sides of the cool bag. The cool bag, bait bag and carryall all look very similar size but with different pockets on the outside. I will still use cotswold for rod holdall as only want to carry two made up rods so will go cor there link two rod holdall. I can see speero putting a huge dent in cotswolds profits as cotswold prices have just went daft recently.

I know that speero is good quality I have some of there small bits the question is the cattyall is it as big as it looks in photos looks like a barra bag size if it is I think they should make a smaller carryall and a small 3 rod. Quiver basically gear to go light it all looks like there focused on session anglers

Same here and agree Speero is better value for money and does not compromise on quality

I've had some of their clothing, that was good quality and well priced.

Ive always had cotswold luggage and just stumbled on the speero gear. Looks identical but better though out than cotswold. I can see me getting a speero fetish and starting a collection if the build quality is up there with cotswold.

I have the carryall, it's on the smaller/medium side, (compared to some carryalls I have owned) although side pockets are generous...
I use the clip on cool bag with mine and house my cooking/brew kit/stove pot etc and food for session...
The quality is very good, and comfortable to carry on the shoulder...
