Drennan roving bag alternative

[Kevin Siddle]

Hi folks anyone found a good alternative to the above. Mine has come unstitched after relatively little use. Would prefer something which will accommodate an unhooking Matt in some way.

I use the drennan roving bag, but thinking of replacing it with this one now.

I use my Korda Compac 45 litre rucksack (for everything) - it's more comfortable than a shoulder bag, IMO. It has loops on top for an unhooking mat. I don't feel the need to buy anything smaller specifically for roving - if I'm going light, I just don't fill it.

Have to agree nice fit and comfy if you put a bit of gear in it

Haven’t seen that one but it looks very good indeed.
I bought the small day pack some time ago as a little rover bag and yes I like it but i always wished it was the same size but ruckbag style.
£38 I’ll be ordering one of those i reckon cheers

As one recently and was impressed…like a mini ruckbag and ideal for roving sessions. Has a side handle too according to the pics online but I can’t remember seeing that on the one I saw but might have missed it

I love the Drennan roving bag, but the zips have gone biggidy-bong on mine I bought a Drennan specialist rucksack (old style) cos it has clips, not zips. The Greys cooler bag is a really nice one if you can find it.

Why do they have to be so expensive?!

the Only 2 flaws with my day pack are its top opening and doesn’t have a chest strap.
They’ve rectified both those bits on this which is really nice. I have the rucksack and the smaller rucksack too and they are great but for a 3 hour blast in the evening you just don’t need it.
Tackle box, 1 egg mix, salt n vinegar squares and a spopper. Job done.

I’ll get one of those ordered up.

I want a small ruckbag for a while, so much easier to find staff, especially in the night. The Nash scope recon bag is also a good one, but more expensive and it doesn’t compatible with the fast matt.

If you know someone that's a dab hand with a needle and thread, they can be resurrected. The zip on mine started to come away (zip teeth from fabric band that they are heat welded to) so I bought a spare. I promptly forgot that I'd bought a spare. By the time the failing zip got really irritating, I bought a(nother) replacement. However, a bit of fine needlework has seen me get another year out of the original and it's still going strong. I've now got the original and two spares. I wish I had another couple of spare Greys Prodigy On The Move Bags.
