Title: Duffle bags and suits
Post by: Cedrictoad on June 28, 2014, 02:01:54 PM: I am toying with the idea of getting a duffle bag to take to training.

Currently I use an old wheelie bag but as I go straight from work to training (and therefore have to take the bag on peak trains) I get a few annoyed looks and comments from other commuters.

I am thinking that a duffle will be much better, however, I am worried about the potential extra wear on the shoulders of my suit jackets and also the general discomfort that comes with wearing shoulder straps whilst wearing a suit jacket.

Anybody in the same boat and have any suggestions or comments either way?

Would something like a GM404 bag be more suitable (no pun intended) with the single shoulder strap?

I generally only take shoes, pads, bat, gloves, strippers, box, lid, wicket keeping gloves and a change of clothes to training.

Padded straps with an inner lining that is sort of neoprene/wetsuit like in nature, shouldn't harm your suit at all :)

It has padded straps , It is very comfortable and doesn't damage the Linen Suit ( which instantly crumples ). The Bag is able to take all you stated
