Title: Bags - Best Value
Post by: OllieWalker39 on September 04, 2017, 08:11:55 AM
Hello!

I'm in the market for a bag - I've had mine 2 or 3 years now, and there are some holes developing which are letting my talent leak out!

Wondering what people on here have and what sort of money they cost? I'm needing something big, as I'm a man with enough kit for the whole team (not sure why... I'm sure the forum has something to do with this!). However, looking and seeing bags are now towards £100 makes me wince slightly! Not fussy whether duffle or wheels.

Thanks!!  :)

I'm in the same boat as been using my duffle all year as not liking my kook pro players bag for some reason so it goes unused in the loft, but the duffle is not really big enough.

I have been looking into the H4L one as ones ive seen look big and organised but sturdy.

I did see that but they've not put dimensions on etc. So not sure if it's just a big empty bag so to speak, or whether it's pockets and "bat cave" etc! (I know you can see a bat pouch on the side, but like most I have more than one).

However, at £48 is a good price!

The h4l large duffle is pretty big. But essentially just a massive massive with beggy internal pockets, would have been nice to be seperate pockets on the outside. Same with the boot pocket too. Im just picky though

A huge bag and very very cheap. Decent quality as well.

Not bought one personally but I've been very tempted by the large Woodworm Wheelie
Bag from TheSportsHQ. Big, good quality materials, good reviews, several compartments
and free embroidered personalisation if desired.

I'm always tempted by the stand up Aero bags
Not cheap is the downside
Bought the big stand up Slazenger one but didn't quite work for me and the smaller Salix Pod has silly side pockets for pads and isn't tall enough.
If anyone knows of a big roomy simple stand up duffle at a decent price, please share.

I second this! Superb bag.

I agree with the Slazenger. I have a few of the v series duffles (about £8) and the big tour duffle (£20) (which doesn't seeem to be available online anymore) and they are both superb value for money.

I had the biggest Woodworm Wheelie and it fits everything in! Only bug bear for me, is the front pocket barely fits my spikes in (I'm only a size 10!). Also, it has a velcro bit that separates it from the main section, which has a habit of coming up and the little things I've put in firing into my bag.

But - I've had it two years and it's done me proud. Just time for something new - might try find a Sports Direct which has one of these Slaz bags in to have a look at!

Aero standups are top notch !

Have Sports Direct/Slazenger sorted out that issue that their bags fall apart at the seams as soon as you think about putting kit in them?

Had a wheelie a few years ago that lasted about 3 weeks before it wasn't even fit to chuck in the club kit shed

I am using Sports direct Slaz Wheelie duffle for almost 2 years now and not a single tear or zip issue. I think they have fixed the issue you are talking about. Many of my teammates are also using Slaz bags from SD and no complains with bags.

I was looking for a big bag to carry entire kit for travel when I was moving out & on normal days to have a bag which can easily consume everything which I do not want to carry in my match duffle bag. Did a lot of reasearch & found this one from VKS suitable & within budget as well. Lovely bag, even bigger than how it looks in the video below -

One of my team-mates has this DC1080 wheelie bag, very very nice to be honest. I think one of the best looking bags in the market.

For the price it's hard to beat.
