Title: Your opinions on these bags
Post by: swamidude on January 23, 2010, 10:44:14 AM: Hi guys,

So I'm looking for a new bag, as my current one is ripped, and damn small aswell.

I have:
2 bats
1 pair of gloves and pads
1 pair of wk gloves and pads
1 pair of spikes
1 helmet
And a few bits and bobs (spikes etc)

I am currently looking at something under 40 quid:

So far I like the look of:

The GM Original 5-Star

(http://www.talentcricket.co.uk/acatalog/pro400bag.gif)

The Kookaburra Pro 400 Wheelie

And, a slightly different style of bag:

(http://www.talentcricket.co.uk/acatalog/Pro%20Performance%20Duffle%20Bag09.jpg)

The GN Pro Performance Duffle.

Please can you tell me of any good or bad experiences with any of these bags, and even suggestions. I don't want anything without a well known brand name, or anything over £40.

Thanks,

Shiv

Post by: Howzat on January 23, 2010, 11:09:13 AM: GN Pro Performance Coffin is really good, very big though

I don't want anything over £40

Slazenger bags seem good, and pretty big.

Post by: swamidude on January 23, 2010, 11:30:27 AM: Yeah, but the boot tunnel and helmet compartment only come on the £40 plus bags. I think I'll try out the GM, you never knwo I might get lucky. If it breaks, I'm sure a good online store would take it back.
It looks really good, and has plenty of space.
The Kook ones looks awesome, but if it's really thin then perhaps not for me.

Post by: swamidude on January 23, 2010, 11:52:49 AM: I know, it's really nice, and looks practical. Only problem is I might injure my back if I put in too heavy a load! If only it had wheels too...
