Title: Best value for money duffles.
Post by: it's_a_pudding on December 27, 2016, 10:14:55 AM
I recently picked up last years original duplex bag dirt cheap from a retailer but the bag is just too big for what I need so will now be used to store all my spares and repairs. I've been stuck for a good couple of months on decided which duffle to buy as their seems to be soo many options that look similar all with different price points. Then you have some with added extras e.g. Legend with extra padding, gm with wheels etc etc. 

But what is the best about ideally with inside padded bat pockets? Just for standard kit and a place to put valuables. I see a lot of people have gone for legend but has anyone else gone for other 2017 offerings for the new brands?

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as am also on the lookout for one. My Ton duffle is great for space but does not offer enough protection for my bats from my helmet.

I suspect a lot of people will have this answer and agreed they are great bags.

Why not nm but a bat cover on your bats? Picked up 10 woodworm ones from sports hq for 19.99.

They do the job.

I paid just shy of £60 for my Supernova last year, not sure if they've gone up but if I wanted what you're after I'd go for it; in theory you shouldn't have to buy another duffle bag ever again

Thinking of the Affinity.. Looks to cover all bases and slightly cheaper than a Supernova??

There's a reason Everyman and his dog has a supernova duffle, they're far better than the competition

Agree with @dcullen8 about the Supernova, I had it last year but certainly think the legend is an upgrade.

Just had a look at the legend duffle online
Very nice, but that's a lot of money for a duffle!!!
Does look very nice

So far Slazenger Tour wheeled duffle is best value for the money. We have 6 bags in our team.

I recently got the Legend duggle but it is not as big when compared to Supernova. I will be still using my Slazenger.

26 quid delivered is not bad

I've ordered the red ink duffle today. I like the idea of the bats going on one side of the bag rather than at the back.

IJCs video for the Legend suggest it struggles to get a keepers kit in, whilst I'm not a WK I'd be a bit miffed if I spent £70+ and couldn't get those bits in. Supernova duffle you'd have no problem

I have a Supernova and I'm very happy with it but I was tempted by the black friday offer for the Legend.

I didn't buy one because I hadn't seen a video review of one. I'm glad I didn't buy one tbh because I'm of the opinion that if you buy a standup bag you want it to stand up and not have to lay it down in the changing room to get your gear out. You may as well buy a normal bag with straps that allow you to sling it over your shoulder.

I do like the layout of the Supernova and even though I have Stretton fielding pads which are bulkier than keeping pads it is still a little on the large side.

Best value? Red ink, particularly if you're after a lot of space.
