Title: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: safcdeans23 on January 23, 2013, 07:12:26 PM: needing a new bag, been using a old football one and its not even big enough for my bat.

so im looking to get a new one but thought I'd ask what everyone else used, and what is recommended and what is poor.

So far im looking at the Kook Pro Players:
http://uzisports.com/cricket-bags-brands/cricket-bags-kookaburra?product_id=776 (http://uzisports.com/cricket-bags-brands/cricket-bags-kookaburra?product_id=776)

And the H4L bag:

will be using both brands gear this season so thought I'd start with them, anyone got either? or recommend better?

Post by: ProCricketer1982 on January 23, 2013, 07:24:04 PM: I had the top Kookaburra one from 2012 (which is basically the same as the top one this year) and it's really good. The bag I'm considering this year though is the top Aero wheelie one.

Post by: Chad on January 23, 2013, 07:35:23 PM: I used a Shamrock duffle, until both of the straps snapped at the same time. Currently using a Woodworm one until I get the Duffle sewn up. I think the Woodworm one is the top of the range one from a season ago!

Post by: toenails97 on January 23, 2013, 08:43:32 PM: I have the kookaburra pro 1000 bag which pro cricketer says its basically the same as the players and its great!
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: captaingrumpy on January 23, 2013, 08:44:30 PM: I bought the blue Aero wheelie a few years ago. Its a bit battered & bruised, but handled all my batting & keeping stuff easily.

Handy for small changing rooms as well....at least I think so, but team mates seldom agree! :)

Post by: joeljonno on January 23, 2013, 08:55:54 PM: GN Pro Performance duffle and a GM 606. Two bags just big enough to get what you need.

I've used a few bags over the years, Hunts County, Slazenger, GN, Kookaburra - none as well made as this one. Typical Salix quality.

Post by: gdb19 on January 23, 2013, 08:57:48 PM: GM original LE easi load wheelie and GM duffle - both ok but not as good as the salix pod pro by the sounds of it.
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: thecord on January 23, 2013, 09:18:18 PM: I've got the Ayrtek wheelie. Good bag, fits all my gear including keeping kit. Only slight negative is it could stand up a bit better

Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: jamielsn15 on January 24, 2013, 04:44:45 PM: Year on year I'm thinking I'm due a new bag. Then I always keep using my single compartment Kookaburra Bubble that's over ten years old! Can't bring myself to part with it...
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: ajmw89 on January 24, 2013, 04:45:39 PM: M&H Double decker... Big enough for everything, and still room to put some of our colts in if they misbehave!

Wise move, cos if you stay on here for any length of time you'll end up with about 15 bats, six sets of pads, two dozen gloves - and a bag to put your bag in... :D

Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: ItsJustCricket on January 25, 2013, 01:45:55 PM: Aero Stand Up bag - when you see my "what's in my kit bag" video you'll realise how much I dislike it! Need to convert to a Salix Pod Pro at the earliest opportunity...
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: Blazer on January 25, 2013, 01:56:56 PM: Woodworm pro duffle - a massive cumbersome bag that makes you look like a total idiot when you don't score runs >:( . Not recommended :D .
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: tommy on January 25, 2013, 02:00:34 PM: The Kookaburra Pro Players - huge bag but absolute pain in small changing rooms.
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on January 25, 2013, 02:08:57 PM: Aero tour bag. I think it's a very good piece of kit.

Seems too good to be true... which often means, it is.
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: SOULMAN1012 on January 26, 2013, 10:07:57 PM: Salix duffle for me although I am waiting to go and collect my Gray Nicolls Maverick bag from Paul at IJC so will give feedback on that when I get it.

Post by: m.lalli on January 26, 2013, 10:23:05 PM: I've just ordered the salix pod pro. Seem to have good reviews and is perfect size for me. :)

Post by: wcc on January 26, 2013, 11:57:42 PM: Just bought the Woodworm pro series mkII, which is a good bag for the price.

I love mine. Loads of room for all my kit, it is big but I don't find it cumbersome and like the fact I can carry it on my shoulder. Much prefer it to a wheelie bag and takes up less room in the hanging room. I don't score runs either :D
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: thecord on January 27, 2013, 03:19:35 PM: Maverick, is that what you call your changing room after you have got out in a particularly sloppy fashion? Perhaps need to take the game less seriously?!? ;)

Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: mattcoll12491 on January 27, 2013, 03:39:59 PM: I've got the Ayrtek Stand Up bag, went well for the first half a season. But in the season just gone the telescopic handle has broke and the zip on the helmet section has become faulty. I understand that on newer versions the handle and the zips have been improved?

Will probably look to replace this with a different bag before the start of the season

Post by: aussiejake on January 27, 2013, 10:09:11 PM: I use a very large Albion bag from a couple of seasons ago. Thinking of downsizing for next season.

Post by: Six Sixes Cricket on January 27, 2013, 11:27:52 PM: Ive got the Salix Pod One Tri-Wheeled Cricket Bag and find it a dissapointment. Bat cave is not that well protected and it doesnt stand up very well.

Apologies for my intrusion; I got mine from ItsJustCricket, perhaps ask Paul.

Post by: Andypara on January 28, 2013, 05:23:57 AM: I use a duck and run wheelie bag its nice and big and like the two internal padded bat pockets
Title: Re: What Bag does everyone use?
Post by: FvanN on January 28, 2013, 06:13:16 AM: Last year I was pulling my hair out looking for the perfect bag. I came to the conclusion that the Kook Pro was the way to go as I like everything to have its own place but never got round to buying one due to the limited amount of cricket I was able to play.

This year If I get the chance to play it will be a Nixon Duffel for everything batting & a small bag for everything else. :D

Post by: mattw on January 28, 2013, 06:42:23 AM: I have had a GN nitro stand up - shocking bag, it's ripped to pieces now. Also now living in London, I think it's going to be wise investing in a decent duffle/backpack bag as when we were travelling to the nets the other night, Paul and Scott were having trouble with their wheelies whilst I was quite happy with my neatly packed duffle. Will need something larger for match days though, as I struggled to my net kit in there.

Whilst I am using the GN Performance Pro Duffle now, I spent two years dragging my Salix Pod Pro around on the tube and DLR. It's just small enough to sit on in the open sections of the carriage while having enough space to get everything in.
