Title: Salix Pod Pro Bag - Views
Post by: SaadIjaz on August 03, 2012, 04:57:31 PM: Guys,

I am currently after a new Cricket Bag and this forum seems to praise the Salix Pod Pro bag quite a lot. I came accross the bag at our old friend's Pro-Direct:
http://www.prodirectcricket.com/Products/Salix-Bags-Luggage-Pod-Pro-Wheeled-Kit-Bag-BlueBlack-15125.aspx

Couple of questions and concerns I have:

1) Firstly, why do you guys think it is selling for so cheap, when this bag's standard retail price is £40+? Is it a last year's edition?

2) Does anyone know what year/model this specific bag is from? Reason asking, in the description it says "padded external front bat pocket" - But i'm sure those of you who have owned this bag will confirm it has a Bat "Cave" for 2 bats. Also the dimensions stated here on Pro-Direct do not match the other Salix Pod Pro bags elsewhere online.

I thought those of you who either own the bag, or have seen it in the past would be able to shed some light on this.

Thanks.

Thanks, mate - yes, the review should help, and it is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJQNlqoTsME&feature=plcp

As for the pricing thing, I wouldn't pay too much attention to that if I were you. Pro Direct are a law unto themselves when it comes to pricing, so if you want typical industry figures, don't look there!

It's a lovely bag - really is. Such a shame we've sold out! :(

Wrong. I Have carried team keeping kit plus my stuff with no problems in mine.
