A friend of mine has decided to buy my current cricket bag so I'm searching for a new one.
Surprisingly I have shortlisted 3 duffles! Need a bag which carries the following:
B&S Assegai
Red Ink Duffle
GN Atomic 500
Don't want something huge. Just need to carry 2 bats, a pair of pads, 2 pairs of gloves, thigh guard, arm guard, box, helmet and shoes. Also some whites.
The B&S and Red Ink dimensions aren't stated so can't compare with the GN

Oh and there's also the Kooks KD2000

GN1000 carries that much comfortable
Red Ink carries all that with enough room for a small dog to run round in left
-
Red Ink duffle's served me very well for the last year or so, definitely recommend it.
-
Thanks @WalkingWicket37 and @edge. From the pic, the Red Ink does look a bit too big for my needs.

I feel the Red Ink duffle may be a bit big for what you were looking for...

Yeah that does seem quite a huge bag for my needs! Do you know if the B&S Assegai is similar sized to this or the GN1000? @WalkingWicket37

I bought the Assegai duffle last year, review here.

Pros - Used it all season, quality seems good, easy to carry and ideal size for a couple of bats and one set of kit. Cons - no separate shoe pocket and valuables pocket inside doesn't have a zip.
-
Thanks @Chalkie. Seems to be very similar to the Ton duffle design!

Here is the Red Ink duffle next to the GN1000
For comparison purposes both have 2 bats, a pair of pads, 2 pairs of gloves, a thigh guard set, a cap, a box, a couple of balls, a pair of trainers and general crap that you'd carry.
In short they're both carrying match day kit excluding whites

A lot of them are the same ton bag with different branding.

The GN looks full whereas the Red Ink could carry looks as if it has space for another kit! Awesome size for a wicket keeper. Thanks for the comparison pics @WalkingWicket37

The red ink isnt a bag its a black hole! Seriously how do they call that a duffle? It needs wheels!

The GN has a side pocket empty, room in the main compartment for a bit more plus room for whites and a towel in the lid.
The red ink by comparison isnt even half full.
The other big difference is the GN needs packing, while you can just sling it in the red ink.
Both are excellent bags, but I just didn't need all the room the red ink has which is why I downsized.
-
I have the GN and it does need a bit of packing but I can fit 2 bats, helmet, pads, 2x gloves, aero strippers, 2x boxes, keeping pads, keeping gloves, inners etc, spikes, whites, towel and wash bag. Usually a ball and water bottle and a few bits and pieces.
Depends if you want to unpack and re pack a couple of times in a day. I don't mind as it doesn't take up much room in my car or the changing room, usually put it on a peg.
-
Thanks for all the info chaps @WalkingWicket and @CalverKeeper.
B&S Assegai Duffle is on offer at £25 so that could be an option too as I believe it's similar in size to the GN

Damn outdone by £1.51 getting close though😝

Thought you wanted a duffle. I can vouch for the quality and Value of B&S gear.
-
Wasn't too fussed on duffle or wheelie. Just couldn't find a wheelie in the price range and the shortlisted bags within my budget which were incidentally all duffles. wanted a bigger bag to my current Wheelie which is also a GN wheelie. @Gurujames
Was a close call between your duffle and GN wheelie but I prefer Wheelies over duffles - @B&S UK

GN1000 carries that much comfortable
I'm after a new bag. Place called Total Cricket near me has the GN1000 for £35, worth it?

For £35 I'd take it.I bought mine last weekend off eBay for £29 posted.I totally forgot about looking at total cricket(ashton?) , it's only a couple of miles from me
-
Anyone got the new GN1000, wondering what the difference is between the new and last years one?
-
A GN1000 duffle for £35, it would be rude not to have one at that price! ;)
-
These bags any good?
