Has anyone got one of these or seen one in the flesh. If so please tell me what it is like in terms of quality and looks and if anyone has any images that would be great.
Ps: sorry for yet another bag thread!
Craig.

I've got one, Its a lovely looking bag made with good tough canvas but it has quite a few downsides I'd say. It's main problem is the lack of pockets, It has one on the outside trimmed in leather with the M&H logo that can maybe accommodate some sunglasses, a couple of cricket balls and that's it. On the inside there aren't any pockets at all so all kit would go in the one big compartment, there's no bat pocket on the large one either so bats inside too. I found the large one too big unless your a keeper, then it's fine. Plus if you have lots of small items like tape, balls, first aid kit etc. its a pain fitting into the one outside pocket. The other downside is that although it looks the part, it gets very dirty, especially when in the car boot with other bags.
I've since given it to my brother (Who is a keeper) and bought myself Salix Pod Pro, now that's a great bag. No such problems there.

I have Medium one which I picked in sale. I personally like the bag because of its size and compactness. I'm not able to fit in a bag but I don't mind holding a bat. Apart from that I like the quality and way it has been made. More importantly I like its size, which is big factor for me now.
It is classy bag in my opinion and I recommend it!

Yeah, could either of you post some pics?
They have em in the Clarence section at the minute.

There you go.

Spot on mate, that's exactly what I wanted. :)
-
Thanks to you to CD! :)

Cheers mate, I love mine although it was defected but I'm happy with it

I have now decided that the M&H bag just isn't for me so I thought I would ask this question here instead of sating a new topic.
I am now after a Salix bag but my question is which bag do you think is right for me?
I would need to fit the following in:
2 x bats ('Bat cave' will cover this)
2 x batting gloves
Batting pads
Keeping pads
Keeping gloves
Strippers
Helmet
Box
Whites
and the usuall extras.
Advice would be very much appreciated thank you!
-
For the record, the M&H canvas bag has the worst downside in that the single central zip makes getting anything out of the bag a real pain unless you get everything out.
-
I have the salix pod allkit which is great, fits an unbelievable amount of kit in.
It does have a bat cave and a pull out handle and a big sidepocket with two mesh pockets inside the bag for smaller stuff/valuables etc. also the material is very strong and the base is solid. The only downside is that it is quite heavy and large.
-
Right, sorry to bang on, will the pod one fit all the the gear listed? If not would you reccomend the GN players wheelie?
-
if this was bigger it could have been interesting...

Thats about the right size isn't it, 88x33x33?

yes but the compartment for Rod only accomodates 31" where as most SH bats are 34-35 inches..and its stupidly expensive...
-
Ahh, schoolboy error not clicking on the link :-[
-
That is one expensive tackle bag!!
But would be great if it would fit cricket bats

If you like the look of the M&H bag - just wait till you see the new Slazenger ones. They're absolutely stunning.
If you can hold off till November, just wait for some of the new gear. Unless of course, there's an awesome sale on.
-
So are Slazenger the latest brand to go retro Tom?

I hope they're better quality than Slaz's current offerings! Really poorly made and that's not just my experience, at least 3 guys at my club have them and I doubt any of them will last the season intact...
Having said that I do like the design of them and they are fairly decent value for money....
-
The reason I need a new bag is because all the zips on my Slazenger have gone and the material has developed holes after just two months!
Does the All kit have a normal pull handle as well as the luggage handle?

They've gone retro and English made in one of their ranges, yes. Pics of full line on Monday.

Exactly what has happened to my teammates bags! Really poor quality...

English made might see the improvement in quality they need.... ;) I look forward to seeing the pics
