The military grade (lol) zips don't open/close one handed, fabric is very flappy so collapses in (especially when wrestling with a zip) and it's very uncomfortable when on your back when walking any distance especially if you add the clip on things to it.

What makes it "diabolical"? I think it's very good personally and use a few of their bits

Got just about everything speero make and had just about everything cotswold have made and even if speero were the same price as cotswold i would buy speero, best luggage ive owned.

When I bought my trident rod holdall nearly 20 years ago quality wise it was a cut above what else was available and I'm sure the price I paid was half of what they are today.
I have the thinking anglers rucksack which I purchased for the rivers.
It's slightly smaller and half the price.
I think this is too expensive considering the choice we have today.

The Speero gear is diabolical, if it was a direct choice of them or CA even with the price and flaws I'd chose CA.

Really fancied one until i saw the price. Like the modular way bits can attach on. Got the Speero compact rucksack for that reason and think it's horrible on my back. Might try a ESP 40l quickdraw one instead.

Hahaa...exactly the same, me and a mate bought the deceptor thinking the'yd be ace and they were a right pain, completely unfolded they took up and entire bivvy.
I also had the Vulcan rucksack and the original Roamer one, all horrendous on your back and just not great quality. I felt the same with the various carryalls i had from Cotswold, floppy sided, as soon as you took stuff out they collapsed on themselves. Zips were pretty poor but that was a lot to do with the floppy sides and pockets
I've spend thousands on Cotswold kit over the years and the only things i still own are their rod lead straps and a bespoke brolly bag from about 15 years ago.

Yes that really annoyed me. I ended up just using there padded cool bags as didnt fold in on themselves. All i use now are their link rod sleeves.

I sold all my cotswold gear after i had the fabric fade and cotswold didnt give a toss,I also hated how it folded in on itself once you took gear out

The cotswold deceptor rucksack i had was £220 and that was probably 7 years ago. Couldnt carry it on your back as it hurt and you could never find anything as it had so many pockets and i could never remember what was in each pocket so constantly going through all the pockets to find the thing i wanted.

Ive had a few of cotswold rucksacks over the years and they are so uncomfortable so always stuck to their carryalls.

It's not even their most expensive single bit of kit!
Obviously this is the new direction of travel for CA since Jag has taken them over.

Made in the UK. You have to pay for that. It doesn't necessarily make it any better but it does make it more expensive. There is probably more profit in a £90 Speero bag made in China than a £250 bag made here.

Its over £400 if you add the pouches that are shown on the one in the video. The basic rucksack is £200. I use cotswold and speero luggage and have done for years and i personally think my speero gear is better made and better thought out and less than half the price. The speero material seems to be identical to my cotswold gear as well.
