Luggage

A good mate of mine, Tim Norris, spent ages trying to find the right bag for his carp fishing, scouring the luggage world, and trying pretty much everything out there in the process, before settling on one of these. I asked him how he’d decided that it fit the bill and he told me that it was just the right size – just big enough for his gear without being so big that it encouraged him to take stuff that he didn’t need (we’ve all been there, right?). It was also easy to access the stuff that he needed quickly via the external pockets and the single, full-size opening and internal compartments allowed him to arrange everything neatly inside. As he was telling me all of this, I realised that the NXG sounded like it ticked all of the boxes in my search for an all-round bag that I could take anywhere.
