Title: Help Please ? GM Original Duplex Bag !
Post by: Watsontotty on March 07, 2010, 10:24:57 PM
Well I'm possibly having a blonde moment here but I've purchased this bag over the Kook Pro 1000 ? the problem is where the hell do you put your pads in this bag. Ive just got home from the falcons and yes Bruce another defeat against Bath so don't wind me up as Irish game is still fresh in the memory. Put the bag up ready for nets tomorrow night but i cant see where my pads will go !!!!

Whats the score !

Isn't there a large compartment at the top of the bag a kind of orangey gold section which you unzip to put them in??

Uncle Rich, time to give up when you can't get your pads into a house on wheels...... it's a young man's world out there.

Yes it is hugely spacious and competitively priced on numerous websites however the handles have a reputation for breaking.

Absolutely no way my pads will fit in the top section of this bag ? that was the first place i tried and when that didn't work i thought i was missing something. If i had one leg then id be ok and one pad would fit lol. This bag looks the part but is very very poor it has a couple of clever ideas but when you cant get your pads in it defeats the object.

Its going to have to go back !

Not using the aero pads now, currently I'm using Canterbury ones but I'm going to try my new scat ones in a bit as they are more traditional type.

my standard obo/aero pads fit in my duplex (just) plus just a quick question what benifits do you find with osm to normal as a 6ft 4 lad always worn normal size but have been told to look at osm cheers mate

Roco osm can vary from brand to brand so its best to go and try them although i can advise on brands and models I've used. On standard pads I've found them to be short in the length and on some brands my knee is er than the knee roll of the pad and the top hat to sit way too short on my thigh if that makes sense. Again with gloves some brands i need osm as they are too tight but some brands are ok so if i was buying across the Internet without trying them on id always go osm,

Just tried my new scat pads and they fit but only just, I'm hoping my morrants fit when they arrive or this bag will have to go back for sure. If it wasn't as far id definitely take it back for sure but lets see when the morrants turn up.

Yer hopefully will be here wednesday but they ain't large so I'm a bit concerned they will be too small ? if they are then no harm i will simply sell them on.
