Kookaburra do a decent one.

You could drop Wilkie a PM, can't beat a decent Soft Pocket for style

I normally double layer it, as I don't feel padded covers quite cover all damage, so the soft pocket just adds that extra little bit of protection. I think the best full length padded cover I've held is a Hammer one. You could ask Paul how he feels the H4L ones compare to them! Make sure you get the best one, don't want you getting that CA damaged. ;)

A blade only soft pocked with a full length one on top works well too.
Double wrapped wood has extra protection after all!

Double bagging of your bat...... interesting

I've got the full length GM ones, great protection.
