Designs will be tweaked/finalised slightly but this is what were are essentially looking at as our luggage option for 2015.

Looks good! Quite like this design, as it doesn't look like it will be as fidgety as the GN1000 I'm currently using! (Great bags, but find that some pockets and zips could be better!)
-
Looks Really smart - What are we looking at as a Rough RRP ?
-
Looks like i've just found my bag for next season!
-
looks very nice. similar to the ton and mk22 duffles which people seem to be really liking at the mo.
any idea of price?
-
You'd fit a TON of kit in there ;)
-
I would grab one, if it didn't cost me a arm and a leg to get one shipped to the USA. Like the look and colors.
-
Price??
And maybe a vid of it fully packed with kit and being umloaded? Cheers
-
Seems like TON hit the nail on the head with the design of there duffle they released last year. Love the colour options on this bag Gary and will be very popular
-
TON/Woodworm et al used the adidas ECB duffle design with the addition of the front pocket. It wasnt/isnt commercially available so they have filled the demand for them.
The only design flaw I have seen with these is the need for a smaller valuables pocket for your wallet/phone/car keys etc without having them drop to the bottom of the bag if placed in the side pockets. The zip section where the hard panel goes in for the back panel is the idea place for this if it can be positioned there IMO.
On my bag i used double sided tape to seal off a section so that it provided a convenient pocket for it all but with the addition of a few bits of material it would work well.

That's a top shout There Tom. Not a problem at home ground as just put in the locker but as way games a consealed compartment in the back part would be very good.
-
Just my 10 pence worth mate, I'm sure someone will be able to tweak their design to add it on and IMO it's the finishing touch the bag needs to tick all the boxes 👍
I'll hand over design credit for a free bag thanks Gary ;) haha
-
I returned the MK22 duffle I purchased because they really don't have enough small pockets for stuff! Pretty gutted as I was looking forwarded to its arrival and at £36 it was very well priced.
Currently I have a slazenger hockey / cricket bag and I think I'll be looking at this type of bag again, once it has seen better days. Duffle bags all seem to be to disorganised for me :)
Looks wise I really like the B&S one. Nice and simple, but I'm not that keen on the logo repeat. If its like the MK22 inside, it was enormous!
-
Really like the colour scheme and branding, as was said before the design is a winner compared to others on the market due to the internal spacing. but I would stress a couple of points
1) as Tom said the keys / phone etc snook away internal pocket is a real gap and would be great to encore orate even if it pushes the price a little
2) the internal bat pockets are worth checking to ensure they are not a little tight so risking sticker/face peel over time
-
Thanks Guys aii very valuable points the key phone wallet pocket will be added
The PRICE WILL BE £42.50 the colours will be Grey/silver and Burgundy/Silver with the IMPI and ASSEGAI logo on the front

Really good looking bag, maybe adding couple of small side pockets on the side will be helpful.
-
Valuables pocket added on the inside of the bag

Interesting to take a look at the 2015 gear (inc a sample duffle) if your around for the vitas event in December Gary?
-
Fingers crossed all gear will be on show at Vitas

B&S will be at the Vitas Cricket forum event to launch the full range. Heres a shot inside the duffle.

Only seeing this now. Definitely on my short list for my next bag. I do think the white will go off and make it look quickly a bit grubby though.

The final versions were at the vitas event and they are grey rather than white - you can see 1 photo I took on the below thread. Think they are due in at vitas anytime so I'm sure Jake will take some pics

I would pick one up in a heart beat, if the shipping to the USA didn't break the bank.
Like to look very much. Nice job.
-
I collect the bags from Felixstowe on Wednesday hopefully deliver to vitas same day our rest of the world postage rates are very competitive even better if you combine a few items
Regards

Got my b&s duffle yesterday not sure it's much different to the m&h ck22 or the ton gladiator elite
But impressed more with colour scheme and the branding to the others
Inhave got pads two pairs gloves p2's bat shoes box helmet in it and there plenty of room not used fron or side pockets
Still wouldn't use for matches as I don't think its big enough but I didn't buy it for that
Overall good value well made large duffle ideal for nets practice midweek or games if you don't carry more than the above

Hopefully mine will arrive tomorrow. I went for the Impi bag
-
I did initially but changed my mind when I saw this was more neutral grey
