Specialist Compact 30L Rucksack

[James Smith]

Bit of a random question but does anybody know how big the front pocket is on these? just wondering if I can get a medium fox box in the front pocket.........

Hi James if you are referring to the Drennan. I've just been into the rod/tackle room (garage) and taken a few measurements:- It's 26 cm High, 22 cm wide & 6 cm deep.

 

[James Smith]

Hi Greg, yes the Drennan version - Ive been on the whiskey liquors, apologies! lol

That is great, thank you I shall order one - much appreciated you checking for me!

 

[Greg Buxton]

No problem, I've had one two seasons now and they are great as a 'day' sac. I have both fox and chub chairs, both of which sit on the clipped on 'unhooking mat' and I attach with a bungy.

Santa is bringing me one, I hope.

That a good feature, will see if my light weight avid chair sits on it

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

I have the 40lt good bag so far. How do you fit a chair to it?

 

[Greg Buxton]

Andy/James,

I attach some photos showing both my Chub & Fox chairs. It works better if the Sac/Bergen is full (never normally a problem for an angler). If the chair is 'open legged' (Fox), I sit it over and rest it on the unhooking mat. If it is 'closed' legged/ a bar, I thread the unhooking mat through. Then I use a bungy threaded under the shoulder straps to stop it riding up to secure them. This leaves my hands free for a Quiver/holdall and a canvas bail/bits bucket.

 

[Andy Bebbington]

Thanks for those pics greg will have a look at mine and see if i can fit.

Hi men,

Not really a help to the original question , but this came up on wish , as an add-on to your straps for phone / keys etc . I have ordered a lot from Wish , takes a while to arrive , but you do pick up some cheap stuff .

Thanks for that Greg, mine arrived today - swallows the fox box in the front pocket and plenty of room for my drop shotting pouch too, thanks again for taking the time to measure your bag for me

Attaching the chair with a bungee cord looks good but as a back pain sufferer I might struggle. I will see if it works with my Korum Roving Sack.

 

[Greg Buxton]

John, Merry Xmas. I suffer from several back/shoulder injuries (ripped rotatror-cuff, due to over the handle bars on a mountain bike. upper back problems due to parachute 'incident'. And a lot of general wear and tear due to three winters mountain training in Scotland/Wales pre deployment to winters in Norway, + operational deployments, and the usual carrying of heavy weights required by the 'defense of the realm'.

Look after your back, its the only one we have!

 

[Mike Thompson]

Santa came up with the goods. He left my the rucksack and the new Korum lightweight chair.
Thank you Santa.
