Yes I’m in the market for a compact waist roe sack and Phil Ogden does a good one and since all my slips, sika sack and a custom small haversack Phil made for me, it’s hard to look elsewhere only Napier have something similar

Phil Ogden only uses the best materials, that’s why his products are built to lastGot to say phil at Ogdens knows a thing or two about quality and customer service
Always 100%
Correction- mine is a roe sack but still can squeeze 2 x 16 kg roe in.
Squeeze them in, problem is you then have to carry the sods out. lol.
True, not as easy as it used to be

I have an ogdens roe or sika sack (can’t remember which) and I have three minor gripes.
1. Why attach the inner waterproof bag to the outer using the same draw cord? It makes cleaning so much harder. I have separated mine and it’s much easier and cleaner that way.
2. Add in a hanging loop or eyelet in the bottom of the waterproof bag so you can wash out and hang up to drain /dry
3. Provide longer adjustment straps on the shoulder straps. I am a big chap and I am right at the limit of the adjustment which means that when loaded the waist strap isn’t in my waist so most of the weight is on my shoulders.
Other than that, great, well made piece of kit.

What sack is that if you don't mind me asking?
Yool Sack – Deer Central

I use exactly the same thing, but I am very tempted with an Ogdens offering
Agree that the Compact Waist Pack style Roe Sacks are not cheap, however there is a lot more work involved and components compared to the "Yule" type of roll up roe-sack, hence increased cost.
The "Yule" sacks certainly suit a lot of folk, however they do not stop blood lashing down the back of your trousers and have very limited effectiveness against tick transition in the spring and summer months.
Love my Ogdens compact roe sack. Regularly have 2 muntjac or a muntjac and a roe in it comfortably.
As others have said, I tend to use only one of the side pouches (left hand side) with a few extra bits in it keeping the other side clear for the rifle.
I haven’t really had any issues with it slipping down and so haven’t bothered with the additional yoke: the inner side of the large rear pouch where the sack is stored has a non-slip backing and the buckle / adjusters are robust enough to keep the belt tight over a 3-4hr stalk if you give it a good pull when putting it on.
The large rear pouch also has a zipped pocket in the back (away from the body when wearing) that I use for carrying gloves, a small S hook, wipes etc for gralloching.
Keeps it all separate from any other small bits of kit I have in the side pouch and I don’t mind it being less accessible as, by definition, I’ve taken the kit off and laid it down by the time I need to use it.

Whatever you get from Phil Ogden you can be sure it will be top class.

Cheers feno, I do have an old Harkila full Roe sack which has done me very well, it's carried a lot of Roe over the years and never failed me but i quite fancy something a tad more compact.

It’s one we make. But only for special orders. Made from 600denier material (most are 400) and marine webbing and clasps.

That said the Ogden’s is good and I’m not knocking it if you want a fanny pack as well.

Yep ticks are a curse but I find them no better or worse with the compact sack. I previously had a poppins sack and the buggers still got out.Agree that the Compact Waist Pack style Roe Sacks are not cheap, however there is a lot more work involved and components compared to the "Yule" type of roll up roe-sack, hence increased cost.

We have modified the design putting more holes at the half way point. It’s not watertight but you get much less soiling and better than carrying it on a drag rope over your shoulder.
