The Kooka is bigger than the Newbery!

However, i have the newbery and it has plenty of space.

Post by: peplow on January 07, 2010, 10:37:10 AM: If you want the biggest bag i've ever seen get the huge albion! But good luck with it! Its a monster!

When i had it it was just too big, i think i actually lost kit in pockets and places i'd not realised were there. Seriously big! Only for serious kit whors or people that drive vans or buses! As it hardly fit in my dads rather large car.

Post by: GJ on January 07, 2010, 12:09:24 PM: GM bags are generally shocking. Went on tour and a few mates had their bags and wheels and handles were breaking. Not good!

Post by: Howzat on January 07, 2010, 01:54:09 PM: Theres a topic on here where about 5 of us had the GM 5star original and they all ripped in the same place.

Post by: Mr Cricket on January 07, 2010, 01:56:05 PM: I got the Surridge Northants bag for 30 quid, its huge, easy to load, easy to move/wheel around, good material, top quality, complete bargain... i would reccomend it to anyone of any level!

Post by: leeroy_acko on January 07, 2010, 10:33:24 PM: personally i prefer a smaller bag for playing equipment and a small sports bag for whites etc... more socially acceptable in the event of a small changing room!

Post by: peplow on January 07, 2010, 10:35:07 PM: Buying a stand up bag eliminates this problem though!

Post by: petehosk on January 07, 2010, 10:38:01 PM: That reminds me - I ordered a 2010 Aero. But was delayed until after crimbo! Ordered the damn thing early December too!
I think I'd better chase that up and find out when they expect them in!
