Where this kit fits in
Carp luggage usually splits into a rod holdall or sleeve, a carryall or barrow bag for the bulky kit, and small accessory bags for terminal tackle. A barrow bag is the bulky-kit bag: the one that goes on the barrow and stays in the swim.
How it actually works on the bank
The EVA base matters more than it sounds: it is waterproof and keeps the bag square, so a wet bank does not soak through to the contents. The polyethylene padding protects stoves and flasks. At this size the bag gets heavy fast; it is meant to be wheeled on a barrow rather than carried long distances.
The full picture
A large Fox tackle bag designed to sit on a barrow. It measures 60 × 38 × 44 cm, has a polyester outer with a coating, polyethylene padding and an EVA base. That outer size works out at roughly 100 litres, enough for a cooker, food, spare clothes and bait for an overnighter.

Long-term ownership notes
Bags fail at zips and strap stitching long before the fabric goes. Keep zips clean and do not overfill to the point where the zip is under strain.
