FAQs

Is the ESP Quickdraw Rucksack waterproof?

It is made from durable 600D camo fabric which is weather-resistant, though it is not rated as fully waterproof for submersion.

Can I fit a chair on this rucksack?

While it has external attachment points, it is designed for a slim profile; bulky items like chairs may unbalance the pack.

What are the dimensions of the main compartment?

The main compartment measures 38cm x 29cm x 16cm.

How do I clean the rucksack?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a soft brush to remove dirt. Do not machine wash.

Can I remove the tackle case and use it separately?

Yes, the tackle case is detachable, making it useful for keeping your terminal tackle at hand while the rest of the rucksack stays in your barrow or bivvy.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder straps feel loose while walking

Ensure the sternum strap is buckled and tightened first, then pull the tensioners on the shoulder straps to pull the pack closer to your spine.

Internal structure appears deformed

Ensure the reinforced lining panels are correctly positioned and not folded; distribute gear evenly to let the bag's natural structure push back into shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-ride design prevents sagging and improves walking comfort.
  • Quick-access detachable tackle case simplifies rig organization.
  • Robust 600D fabric offers excellent long-term durability.
  • Dedicated bankstick storage prevents loose gear clutter.
  • Maintains internal shape thanks to cushioned, reinforced lining.

Cons

  • Not suitable for long-duration expeditions requiring larger load-outs.
  • Lacks dedicated attachment points for very large unhooking mats.
  • Specific pocket sizes may limit options for custom gear boxes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To optimize the rucksack's performance, load heavier items closest to the back panel to maintain a center of gravity that aligns with the sternum strap. Ensure the detachable tackle case is securely clipped into its top position before transit. To maintain the 600D fabric, remove mud and debris using a soft-bristled brush after each session. If the bag becomes saturated, air dry it in a shaded, well-ventilated area—do not use heat sources as this can degrade the internal lining or foam padding. Check the strap buckles periodically to ensure they remain free of grit, which can hinder the quick-adjust function.
