Title: 2009 Kit Bag
Post by: captaingrumpy on January 24, 2009, 06:17:59 PM: I've got far too much kit for my trusty old Kooka wheelie, and am looking for a new bag to accommodate bats, pads, wicket keeping stuff, helmet, and of course whites.

I spend a lot of time in cramped changing rooms and like the look of the new upright bags.

The GM limited edition duplex wheelie bag looks good, as does the kooka pro upright wheelie. There is of course the aero bags, but are they worth £30 more than the GM or the kooka?

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated!

As Arthur said the Canterbury looks good, good price at £42.49 too

Title: Re: 2009 Kit Bag
Post by: slogger02 on January 24, 2009, 09:58:29 PM: you can fit a fair bit in most of them but they are not comfortable to carry, only good for carrying a light load in my opinion

Post by: captaingrumpy on January 25, 2009, 07:42:53 PM: Thanks for all your suggestions.

I've got an Albion duffle bag for indoor & nets. Sure you can get a small army in it, but if you want something in a hurry, you're struggling.

Tom, I think the Canterbury is at £49.99 rather than £42.49.
By the way thanks for the Itias I purchased off ebay last week. Any particular advice in knocking it in.

I think I'm going with an aero, I just hope that its not too big!

Post by: Tom on January 25, 2009, 07:50:37 PM: Go to this link: http://www.kitbag.com/mastercard (http://www.kitbag.com/mastercard) then search for the bag, should come up at £42.49.

As for the Itias, what I've done with mine knock it in for around half an hour just to harden the face up a tad then play sensibly in the nets with an old ball.

Post by: nickroe92 on February 03, 2009, 08:23:38 PM: SultanofSwing
I have ''Multiple pieces of kit'' because being reasonably decent at batting i get extremely sweaty and dont like sniffing old sweat from a year ago in my lid everytime i bat or keep wicket. Also the grill on the smaller one has been dented a couple of times and isn't the safest anymore. Finally you think possibly I like had the money to get another helmet so i did. If you're going to comment on my gear at least don't pick something stupid like that. Happy?

Sorry Mate youv'e already PM'd me the pics, I'm Looking for a coffin or a Newbery SPS/GN Fusion (Soft Coffin)

Title: Re: 2009 Kit Bag
Post by: sultanofswing on February 03, 2009, 09:08:17 PM: why are you so sensitive when someone asks you why you have to self same pieces of equipment? i am jus trying to understand the reasoning behind buying two helmets as I really dont see the need for two helmets exactly the same.

I have money to buy multiple helmets but I dont see the point, I only have one head so one is perfectly suffiicent! Why posts pics on a forum if you dont want people to question you.
