IJC does reviews but I'm unsure if he has the new Aero's in stock or review done yet. I'm sure one of the forum sponsors will PM you soon buddy.

Which one, mate, I actually use the (cheaper) red and blue one and it's been an absolute disaster (hence our not stocking them any more)!! I hear the larger £100 one is a lot better - Manormanic on here will certainly testify to that!

Indeed I will.  Huge, sturdy, well designed, its everything you could reasonably want from a cricket bag - if you're planning on making use of the wheels, the biggest plus for me is that it is incredibly stable, so you barely feel the weight of even the most crammed bag...

The top end Aero bag is the one I'll be getting for the 2013 season. I've heard nothing bad about them yet.

Yep it's just very confusing, annoying to reach to get all your kit out the main compartment, it doesn't stand up properly, constantly toppling over.  And one of the zips has completely torn out already, meaning I can no longer use one of the side compartments! I've only had it for half a year! I thought it would be a pretty organised bag, and it's nice and roomy, but I would avoid if I were you...

Probably but that's another bag I've used.  That one only lasted a year before the zip went.  Needless to say I am very unlucky with bags! Best bags on the market for me are made by Salix, Newbery and Slazenger...

Its just tricky trying to find a bag the right size, as all the top end bags are too big, but then they get too small, trying to find one in the middle :S

Highly recommend the salix pod pro then. Check out our video review...

How tight for space would it be though with batting and keeping kit in it? with extra room for kit and boots ect, seeing as its one big compartment?

Well, I managed to take the following for a weekend this year:
5 x bats
2 x return stumps
1 x Skyer
1 x pads
3 x gloves
1 x lid
1 x bag of coaching balls
1 x middling bat
2 x Sidearms
3 x sets of whites
2 x towels
1 x box of Krispy Kreme donuts

I have also previously transported a 5' 5" off spinner in my previous one...

can a helmet be fitted into the pocket at the bottom of the bag?
