Started with the Kook Pro Players...then Supernova..and now the Legend seems very tempting (except none of the online pics show any details about the different pockets etc).

Urrrrrmmmm, did you forget half of this post? ???
-
I've got the Supernova and have had the legend arrive today.
Unfortunately I'm on a purchase embargo by the wife so will have to wait a couple of days for a review of the difference. The legend seems a lot more practicle at first glance though!

tell the Mrs its for a good cause.. you're helping out the UK economy (yes, its made in China, but she doesn't know that) by convincing foreigners like me to buy UK products - a much needed boost after brexit!

I've got a legend but haven't taken it out of the packet yet. I'm going to keep my supernova as a net bag

I find that duffles are just so much more practical as I have to get a bus to nets once a week whilst at Uni. The only issue I have is that I'm yet to find one that comfortably fits my keeping stuff in. Currently have the GN1000 duffle and have to force it all in. Would be perfect if I could find one big enough

So people do do this? I was debating buying a small and just replicating my gear but with the net bag having the bare minimum in. I feel this might be a bit of a silly idea though

h4l large duffle is pretty darn good! fits more than just cricket kit too!

Am I not a people?
You saw my "bare minimum" net bag on Sunday...

What? :D

I like the new balance duffle. haven't see the GN one though.

I've got far too much kit, another 'net bag' helps tidy it up
-
We can't even have the option to get obsessed seeing as there only a handful of duffles in Australia. We only just got the GM original duffle from 2014, this year.

not taken it out of the packet???? why? I admire your self restraint ;)

All about the old school net duffle. Working on persuading the missus to buy her own kitbag so I can have mine back!

There's only one bag in these pictures though...
-
Cbf is getting poor A lately? Only two duffles?? What's this place coming to.
Currently I have.
Match duffle, kook pro players, with all the match gear in.
T20 duffle, b3 duffle with all my black gloves/pads/ stretton in.
Net duffle, a secondary b3 duffle with pads/bats/ balls/ side arms and all the stuff you need to train in.
Contemplating getting a fourth before the season starts, although that will be to replace one of the b3 duffles.
-
I use my duffle as my training bag. Have 2 sets of Pads, helemts and thigh guards and then a billion pairs of gloves. Only thing I move around are the bats.
I look forward to seeing what duffles are over there when I move over in March
-
Glad I'm not the only one wasteful with purchases. I sold all my "regular" bags...and now have two duffles..almost certainly getting a third (if all you needlessly self restraining monks can get your Legends out of the packet and start taking some more pics ;) )
One for "backup kit" (i.e. bats etc that are 'outdated' - i.e. bought last year)...one for any trips I take ("because the flight will damage it"), and one for regular match/net use.
Financial ruin, here I come!

Same here my new bag will stay in its packet until a few days before the first outdoor league match.

You mean you don't spend the winter trying various orders of loading your kit, or seeing what pocket is best suited for which items? :o
-
I'm on my 3rd duffle. X2 kook pro and a gn legend. Now it's the fun bit filling them all with kit!! Also good for hiding new kit from the Mrs!!!

I am on exactly the same road :-D
-
Thinking of downgrading my Supernova as whilst it carries everything it's just an absolute monster to carry around
-
The new Legend is a bit smaller than the Supernova but better designed so you can fit about the same amount in and not lose it in a big pocket. I am trying to slim down my match day kit anyway. Maybe have a small bag of spare bits for emergencies in the car.
I've not attempted to pack the Legend fully yet but I think it will take: keeping and batting pads, thigh guards (I have some Stretton's on the way to replace my bulky Aeros), two pairs batting gloves, helmet, spikes, keeping gloves and towel, wash bag/first aid kit.
I can't believe people have more than one bag. I assume they are playing much higher than me. I prefer to use my kit (except my best bat and keeping gloves) for everything but change it more regularly. I have a small box with my spare gear in that my bag sits on at home, that's it.

I have a small box
:D

My kit packing is simple batting kit separate from fielding kit

have any detailed pics of each section?

@HallamKeeper slightly off subject but have you heard from George recently?
-
I'll try to post some pics tomorrow of the bag, I think someone already has in the link to the other thread in an early post.
I ordered my Strettons from George a couple of weeks ago, he said he was really busy but I hope to have them before Christmas.

A few pictures of the Legend:

Shoe compartment, just my net trainers in at the moment.

Bat compartment, I cut the waist and chest straps off, don't need them.

Side pockets, pretty big, will hold water bottles, first aid kit etc.

Main bit, batting and keeping pads plus new Strettons.

Top pocket, keeping gloves and two pairs of inners.

Other top pocket, between bats and front one, helmet, box, two pairs of batting gloves and inners.
I think I'll comfortably fit my match kit and a small towel in the main pocket. Can't think what else I need to take.
