Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing through changeable British weather. The welded EVA body and overlapping lid give your tackle a proper barrier against rain, damp and muddy bank conditions.
- Anglers building a Trakker Modbloc storage setup. The carryall is designed to work with the modular system, making it easier to keep boxes and session kit organised.
Maybe skip if
- Roaming anglers who carry the bare minimum. The reinforced EVA construction is tougher and more structured than a lightweight soft bag, so it can be more luggage than you need.
- Anglers wanting lots of built-in pocket organisation. There’s a useful internal rubberised mesh zipped pocket, but this is more of a spacious protective carryall than a pocket-heavy rucksack.

Quick verdict
A cracking carryall for grim weather and tidy anglers
The Trakker Downpour T1 Carryall is built for anglers who want their tackle protected from rain, damp grass and general bank-side chaos. Its welded n-Dura EVA construction, wipe-clean finish and chunky carry handles make it a proper practical bit of luggage.
The overlapping lid is the clever bit, doubling as a work surface or bivvy table. Pick the size carefully, though, as the XL is a sizeable lump and the range isn’t the lightest way to carry a handful of small items.

Welded n-Dura EVA, SBS zips and reinforced webbing handles give it a properly robust feel on paper.
Its structured body, weather protection and wipe-clean finish are well suited to messy bank conditions.
It won’t catch fish directly, but organised, protected tackle means less faff when you’re setting rigs and responding to a bite.
The size range, useful lid surface and internal zipped pocket make it straightforward to live with.
It offers more than basic storage, especially if you’ll use the Modbloc compatibility and work-surface lid, though lighter anglers may not need all that build.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Trakker Downpour T1 Carryall
There’s nothing worse than opening your carryall after a wet night and finding everything inside has gone a bit clammy. Rig boxes, bait tools, spare leads — all sat in a puddle of British weather. The Trakker Downpour T1 Carryall is aimed squarely at avoiding that sort of faff, with a tough welded EVA body designed to keep the worst of the rain and damp away from your gear.
This isn’t a floppy fabric bag that disappears into a pile of kit. The Downpour T1 has a more structured feel, courtesy of its n-Dura EVA construction. It folds when you need to store it, but still gives you a solid, protective home for tackle on the bank. That’s handy when the forecast looks a bit ropey and you don’t fancy gambling your terminal kit on a thin zip-up holdall.
There are four sizes in the range: Small, Medium, Large and XL. That’s a decent spread, because not every angler needs the same amount of luggage. The Small is a sensible option for a compact tackle load, while the Medium and Large should suit most regular carp sessions. The XL is the big bruiser, giving you serious capacity for bulky kit, but it’s also a sizeable lump before you’ve put so much as a rig box inside.
The dimensions are nicely different rather than just being tiny steps between sizes. The Small measures 36 × 23 × 28cm, the Medium is 40 × 26 × 28cm, and the Large comes in at 45 × 29 × 28cm. The XL stretches to 54 × 36 × 28cm. That means you can choose around your actual kit instead of buying the biggest one and then wondering why your barrow looks like it’s carrying half the tackle shop.
Protection is the main event here. The body uses welded n-Dura EVA, and the wipe-clean finish is a proper bonus when you’re dealing with wet mats, muddy margins and bait residue. Give it a wipe down after a session and you’re not left scrubbing a fabric bag or worrying about the smell hanging around. It’s the sort of practical detail you appreciate more after a few grim winter overnighters.
The lid is more useful than a simple cover, too. Its overlapping moulded design doubles as a work surface or bivvy table. So when you’re tying a new rig, sorting a handful of hooks or keeping small bits away from the mud, you’ve got a firm area right there. It won’t replace a full-size bivvy table for a sprawling tackle spread, but for everyday jobs it’s dead handy.
Inside, there’s a rubberised mesh zipped lid pocket for smaller essentials. That gives you somewhere to keep bits you need to find quickly, such as bait stops, rig tools, scissors or a marker pen. It’s not pretending to be a pocket-heavy organiser, though. The Downpour T1 is mainly a roomy protective carryall, so you’ll still want your terminal tackle in separate boxes if you like everything neat and easy to grab.
The carry handles use reinforced webbing, while the zips are heavy-duty SBS units. That’s exactly the sort of hardware you want when a bag is regularly being lifted from the barrow, dragged out of the car boot or shifted around a cramped bivvy. The EVA body also helps it hold its shape, although that toughness brings a little extra bulk compared with a lightweight fabric option.
One particularly strong reason to look at the Downpour T1 is its compatibility with Trakker’s Modbloc modular storage system. If your luggage is already built around that setup, the carryall makes a lot of sense and should help keep the whole arrangement tidy. If you’re starting from scratch, it still works perfectly well as standalone luggage — just don’t pay for its modular potential if all you really need is a tiny pouch for a couple of bits.
The only real question is which size fits your fishing. The Small weighs 1.0kg, the Medium 1.15kg, the Large 1.35kg and the XL 1.75kg. Those figures are reasonable for a tough EVA carryall, but they do add up once you’ve filled the bag with leads, boxes and bait kit. Choose sensibly and the Downpour T1 looks like a proper bank workhorse: weather-ready, easy to clean and handy when you need a stable surface for a bit of rig-side bosh.

Our take
Why the waterproof, modular approach matters
The big selling point here is protection rather than fancy organisation. The welded EVA body gives you a weather-resistant home for tackle, bait kit or general session bits, while the foldable design keeps it easier to store when empty.
It also slots into Trakker’s Modbloc modular storage system, so it makes most sense if you’re already building a tidy, stackable luggage setup. For a standalone carryall, the work-surface lid is still dead handy when you’re tying rigs, sorting leads or making a brew in the bivvy.
What you’re buying
A tough EVA carryall with a genuinely useful lid
The Downpour T1 is built around welded n-Dura EVA, with a 70% EVA and 30% polyester composition. The result is a more structured carryall than a standard soft luggage bag, with a wipe-clean finish that makes muddy, wet sessions much easier to deal with.
The overlapping moulded lid is the standout feature. It protects the contents while also giving you a firm work surface for rigs, leads, bait preparation or general bivvy jobs. The internal rubberised mesh zipped pocket is useful for smaller items you want close at hand.
Heavy-duty SBS zips and reinforced webbing handles keep the practical side covered. The body folds down for storage, too, so it won’t always be taking up maximum boot space when empty.
Worth knowing. The XL is a proper big carryall, measuring 54 × 36 × 28cm and weighing 1.75kg empty. That’s cracking for bulky loads, but overkill for a short session with compact tackle.
Pick your size
Match the carryall to your fishing, mate
Go Small if you keep things compact and mainly need a protected home for terminal tackle, accessories and a few session essentials. At 36 × 23 × 28cm and 1.0kg, it’s the easiest option to live with when you’re moving between swims or keeping the barrow light.
The Medium and Large are the likely sweet spots for regular carp anglers. The Medium measures 40 × 26 × 28cm, while the Large is 45 × 29 × 28cm. Both give you more room for boxes and general tackle without jumping straight to the biggest option.
Choose XL when you’ve got bulky gear to protect or you like carrying plenty of kit in one place. It makes particular sense alongside the Trakker Modbloc modular storage system, where the carryall can form part of a wider, organised setup.
Worth knowing. This is more about protected, spacious storage than loads of individual pockets. Use separate tackle boxes inside and you’ll get a tidier setup, especially when a screaming take means you need to find something quickly.
Quick answers
The bank-side questions answered
Is it suitable for wet weather? Yes, that’s one of its main jobs. The welded EVA construction and overlapping lid are designed to provide strong weather protection, while the wipe-clean finish helps after muddy or damp sessions. As with any luggage, avoid treating it like a dry bag for submersion.
Does the lid make a good work surface? It gives you a firm, convenient area for everyday jobs such as tying rigs, sorting hooks or preparing bait. It’s especially useful in a bivvy when you don’t want to unpack a separate table for a couple of small tasks.
Is it easy to carry? The reinforced webbing handles make lifting straightforward, and the structured body keeps the bag manageable. Just remember that the EVA construction has some weight of its own, particularly in XL, so don’t fill it with every spare bit of tackle you own unless the barrow is doing the hard yards.
Worth knowing. The best fit is an angler who values weather protection, easy cleaning and a tidy modular system. If you’re only carrying a few lightweight bits, a softer and smaller bag could save you space and weight.
