Just for some context regarding the price.
Probably the best outdoor rucksacks available right now are from Atom Packs. They are hand made in the Lake District using ultralight state of the art water proof materials. They are not fully waterproof but the materials are extremely hard wearing. They’re extremely comfortable and designed for walking hundreds of miles
An off the shelf rucksack will cost £200 - £340.

I could see it being quite useful roving on a bike for river or canal fish etc 👍

I tend to use my barrow but many of the lads including Jim the owner carries it on his back for long periods - if you see our socials weve showcased Jim who uses a bike to get round the lake and so travels long stretches fully loaded and weve also done lots of videos explaining about the new harness and how to wear it and adjust it so you can get the most out of the RS

Paying that much for a rucksack that's designed to be used outdoors I would expect the means to make it weatherproof to be included not extras, like someone else said about the rod bag that doesn't have a shoulder strap....
Just my opinion of course.

Here’s mine now

Been away so just catching up in here
Regards waterproofing the base is waterproof and we do have two additional accessories that attach to the bag
A ground sheet
And a waterproof cover
I brought mine for full price before I was employed by the business and it’s my favourite piece of luggage.
I have the all singing all dancing and I’ve customised it to suit my fishing and I now have one bag that does everything and we are going to be releasing more additional items shortly that will make it even more appealing
Regards comfort - we’ve released multiple videos explaining that we’ve completely changed the harness and have even released a video to show how best to wear the rucksack on our socials if you head to our Facebook or instagram page you’ll see them there
Let me know if any other questions
Thanks
Rob

To waterproof a rucksack or luggage you have to tape the seams. Most fishing rucksacks are made of Cordura type materials for durability but it isn’t possible to tape this material.
Some of the newer nylon fabrics can be taped but most manufacturers don’t do this because there’s quite a lot of practical issues. Specialised waterproof zips need to be used or roll top closures. If water gets in the rucksack it then can’t get out. Due to the bag flexing and delamination the seam tape comes off eventually. Some outdoor manufacturers have started to use welded seams on some bags.
A tarp or nylon sheet is the easiest solution but you can also DWR coat your luggage.

The Korum Ruckbag was like that, I used one for years, only problem was it was bit small at about 35 litres for long sessions, but they did bring a bigger version out. They still do them, but they are a bit different now
Rod Hutchinson also brought out a "Rucksack" like that many years ago which I have, you lay it down and it had two flaps you just unzipped to get inside it, I replaced it with the "Ruckbag" but went back to my "Hutchy" one as it held more.
Plus, I used the NASH cube for years and still do, the large one, and once you opened it up, you just laid the 3 bags down and opened them up.

Does it keep the rain out which is my main gripe with all this stuff?

I've got a tarp but it seems luggage is more about looking good than being weatherproof imo.

Having used loads of different rucksacks for various purposes I think a clamshell design with two large side pockets and modular capability, works best for fishing.
With just 3 zippers you can access everything instantly. Top loading rucksacks mean you have to empty everything out just to get to something at the bottom. Also loads of small pockets mean you’re restricted to what will fit in each pocket and you’re forever opening and closing zips.
I’m currently using the latest Nash Scope Ops Recon rucksack. They’ve absolutely nailed it with this design because you can clip everything and anything to it. Therefore it can be expanded or modified to accommodate any type of fishing or session.
