looking forward to squeezing all my new gear into 1  :D
Tom have you had the bag designed with a helmet pouch?
i heard rumours that GM and Kookaburra were looking into doing this and thought it may have been right down your street.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 21, 2010, 08:09:26 AM
It has a section for your helmet as well as sections for 2 bats to be stored in full length padded pockets, a pocket for ur boots, pockets for gloves/thigh pads and another pocket for shower gel/etc with one big compartment for your pads and clothes.....designed with use in mind and what kit is carried on a weekend.

Waiting to see the sample though as with most things it may need some tweaking from the 1st sample version when i get to see it.

They are in our elite colour scheme of black, green and silver :D

Post by: ProWannabe88 on October 21, 2010, 08:27:43 AM
Oooh yes! I do love plenty of pockets!! They should look good in that colour scheme as well mate. Can you put a pocket in mine for my tash trimmer  ;)
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 21, 2010, 08:29:07 AM

Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 21, 2010, 06:20:55 PM

Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Colesy on October 21, 2010, 06:22:10 PM
Bet you must be thinking about getting an automated response machine with all these bag questions ;)
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 21, 2010, 06:24:20 PM
All part of the job mate I'm as eager to see them as everyone else which is prob why the manufacturer sent me a polite email back today saying they will be sent asap...had to explain that I have several people awaiting pics hence my constant harassment of him lol
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: johnnyw on October 21, 2010, 09:49:32 PM
Have you got a price range in mind for the bag Tom?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 21, 2010, 09:54:30 PM
Yeh not sure if I'm listing RRP or real life prices yet tho lol
Title: Re: Bags

Easy dig Tom
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 22, 2010, 06:19:15 AM
Yet to be priced as need to see how much shipping is to us as well as the delivery cost via a courier when sending out
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:01:40 AM
Heres the moment you have all been watinig for our nearly finished bag....Logos are obviously yet to be printed onto them but you get the idea in regards to it :)

Look good mate! like the double bat compartment bit :)

Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:12:52 AM
havent actually got my hands on one yuet as these are just pics they sent that iv been awaiting, yeh double bat bit was a good idea i thought even tho not everyone has 2 bats :(
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: roco on October 23, 2010, 10:17:05 AM
Looks very nice two bats are enough for a matchday
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Simmy on October 23, 2010, 10:17:47 AM
i take 3 lol sometimes

match bat...sloging bat.. then a bat for playing air ball lol
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:18:21 AM
yeh thats what i thought...keep them nice and safe in some padded pockets then free's up some space for the rest of your kit inside the bag.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: roco on October 23, 2010, 10:18:59 AM
Got all that in my sachin bat :)
Title: Re: Bags

Title: Re: Bags
Post by: The Finisher on October 23, 2010, 10:26:55 AM

Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:32:42 AM
yeah its 85cm long and 40cm wide approx..yeh happy with it but hard to say how happy without actually having one here yet to get everything into ???
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: The Finisher on October 23, 2010, 10:36:20 AM
and price wise ? very intreagued
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:42:52 AM
Im yet to work out the postage as its done on volume rather than weight when sending things like this through the post.

Once iv sorted it will let you all know, ball park i would say £60 + P&P TBC
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Wills on October 23, 2010, 11:14:33 AM
Ayrtek it kinda looks like a stand up version of the Xiphos.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 11:15:59 AM
dont know what that looks like in all honesty or if thats a good thing or not to be comparred too ???
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Wills on October 23, 2010, 11:17:33 AM
The Xiphos bag was IMO the best cricket bag GN made, they stopped making them last year.

So your bag has a lot to live up to!
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Wills on October 23, 2010, 11:19:38 AM
I quite like the bat bit!
How much will you be selling these for?

And any news on the duffle?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 11:22:16 AM
Im yet to work out the postage as its done on volume rather than weight when sending things like this through the post.

Awaiting pics of the duffles still
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: johnnyw on October 23, 2010, 09:33:16 PM
Have you anything else lined up to make like thigh pads etc?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 09:35:05 PM
nothing new can get thigh pads etc ordered up but as iv said before other brands such as aero specialise in these areas and offer products they have spent time, effort and money developing.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: peplow on October 23, 2010, 09:48:48 PM
yeah its 85" long and 40" wide...yeh happy with it but hard to say how happy without actually having one here yet to get everything into ???

bloody hell thats huge!
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:19:41 PM
14" it was meant to say i think mate sorry typing on my iphone
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: maxy1 on October 23, 2010, 10:23:01 PM
That looks quality :) lovin the 2 bat pockets
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:25:08 PM
yeh something i thought no other brand had cottoned onto in terms of keeping them secure and padded on the outside as creates more space in the main pocket then without having to take all ur kit out to fit it back in...will see if the theory works in practice shortly!
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on October 23, 2010, 10:33:27 PM
Tom will this will be in different colours? Or just the Elite Range colour?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:35:47 PM
Just the elite I think mate as can't justify getting it made up in too many colours unless people created a larger demand
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: peplow on October 23, 2010, 10:38:59 PM
was this designed with the bogey green aero bag you have in mind, or completely from scratch, i do like it, ther eis def something about it, will look great branded up!
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 23, 2010, 10:42:35 PM
Bogey was kind of frame for it as think the stand up is the way to go to avoid clogging up the changing room!!

Yeh silver logos should finish it off :)
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Liam-SCCC on October 24, 2010, 05:55:26 PM
Dimensions please tom?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 24, 2010, 05:59:37 PM
It's 86cm x 36cm x 36cm so will obviously got two full length bats in the pockets on the outside whilst having a main central pocket for ur pads, helmet and clothes...the two pockets on the rhs are intended for gloves and thigh pad etc and one for toiletries....front one for ur boots to go in.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 24, 2010, 06:02:08 PM
Will have to confirm accurate sizes once iv got one but those were the basis of the spec provided for it
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: golders on October 24, 2010, 06:06:05 PM
I like it a lot- does it stay stood up when you take stuff out? And does stuff tend to slide to the bottom on these stand up bags?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Wills on October 24, 2010, 06:13:00 PM
Does the main pocket run the whole length of the bag?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Liam-SCCC on October 24, 2010, 06:24:05 PM
thanks tom, my Newbery Uzi stand up doesn't fit in the boot of my corsa. Hopefully, I will be driving to away games next year. (Should I pass in December!). Don't want to use my duffle as I hate having to squeeze it all in.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 24, 2010, 06:26:54 PM
yeh had the same problem with my last ayrtek bag i had as it filled my boot and was too big, this one will fit easily into your boot with enough space for another bag as well or at least a bag of the same size did in my golf.

the main pocket runs the full length of the bag yes so that you can obviously fit your pads into it without squashing them, the pictures are of the bag when its empty and as a stand-up it will remain that way when empty/half full
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Liam-SCCC on October 24, 2010, 06:31:36 PM
Ok, when will they be available? And do you have a price?

Thanks
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 24, 2010, 06:34:40 PM
1st batch are set for arrival in the 1st week of November (although 6 have already been sold)......price will be £60.00 + P&P

If you want to pre-order then your best of emailing in advance so I can up the initial quantity to avoid any pre-xmas order dissapointment. Also with the VAT increase in January due to kick in prices will rise ???
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Liam-SCCC on October 24, 2010, 06:40:20 PM
Ok, Thanks mate.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Whispering Death on October 26, 2010, 08:34:32 AM
no offense mate but these bags look terrible - i certainly won't be buying one for that price
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 26, 2010, 08:38:38 AM
Fair enough some feedback would be useful as to why do u think its so bad? the price is in line with many other brands bags that are in this range..
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: johnnyw on October 26, 2010, 08:42:22 AM
I dont have any problem with the price. You go buy one of the better brands and it will at least cost you 65-80 pounds and you might not have the same quality or durability of ayrteks bag. Also you would not get the same customer service.

If you make a statement that they look terrible then would you at least back it up and let Tom know what is wrong with it
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Whispering Death on October 26, 2010, 09:02:21 AM
Sorry but i just think it looks more like a suitcase rather than a cricket bag - maybe once the stickers/graphics are added it will be improved.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Walkeruk on October 26, 2010, 11:04:27 AM
What! Cant believe what I have just read.
These bags look awsome, plenty of pockets for all your gear and the best thing is that it stands up-right in order to maximise changing room space. Space is already at a premium with the size of bags these days.
Roll on the 28th Novemeber when me and a few mates make the jourey to Bristol to pick our Ayrtek gear up.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Whispering Death on October 26, 2010, 11:11:24 AM
personal choice I guess..
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Rik on October 26, 2010, 11:35:58 AM
Surely the criteria for a good cricket bag (or any good product for that matter) shouldn't be based entirely on it's looks? Like you say Whispering Death, personal choice and all that.

That said I think it looks like a great bag - the stand out for me is the two bat storage compartments. I can see some straps on the side, is it intended that you can use it as both a vertical and a horizontal bag?
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 26, 2010, 12:13:16 PM
Yes thats the plan lies flat in the car boot but stands up in the changing room to avoid taking up too much space
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: ProWannabe88 on October 26, 2010, 12:14:54 PM
top idea of you ask me. we will see if it fits my tiny boot though.
if not..... i'll lower the back seats as i have no choice haha

To be fair its not a new idea its basically along the same lines as the Aero stand up bags with a twist ? the colour scheme doesn't work for me although until ive seen one up close i can comment on quality as from the pictures I'm guessing this is still in the development stage.
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on October 26, 2010, 07:00:55 PM
yeh still a work in progress in regards to getting a finished product, iv only had pictures so far as well so yet to see a physical sample to make any alterations etc.
Title: Re: Bags

A little bit of duffle action for you.....logo's still need adding to it obviously as have just photoshopped them on for now:D

yeh thats what i thought...keep them nice and safe in some padded pockets then free's up some space for the rest of your kit inside the bag.
is this designed to stand upright then? or are the bat pockets on the top as it were
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on November 04, 2010, 10:03:57 PM
no mate its a stand up bag as pictured.....but can be led down as well on the bottom as well where the handle is on it
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: alexrickyponting on November 04, 2010, 10:08:07 PM
ah ok, was just slightly confused thinking the bag was meant to lay on the bats :s
thanks for clearing that up
Title: Re: Bags
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on November 04, 2010, 10:11:20 PM
no mate the bats would remain on the LHS when the bag is led down in the boot of a car for example

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on December 13, 2010, 04:35:06 PM
so was I....held hostage by customs for a week after a prolonged production period the epic journey they have been through is nearly finished.....until they are once again sent out into the wild to the patiently awaiting customers!
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: charlie_bendall on December 13, 2010, 04:35:59 PM
Lets hope BT turn up at 8 then but i very much doubt it!
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on December 13, 2010, 04:38:32 PM
haha yeah iv asked BT to ring before they plan on getting there as dont fancy waiting for 5 hours in an empty office with nothing to do!

DHL depot is only 20 mins away anyway so will grab them in the afternoon anyway.

Out of interest tom, where were they made, as you mentioned their journey through customs.
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on December 13, 2010, 05:25:08 PM
I am presuming they would of been sourced from india, as the cost would of been better than getting them made within the eu.
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: johan95 on December 13, 2010, 06:36:56 PM
Could well be true, have they got space for batting and keeping kit?

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on December 14, 2010, 04:29:43 PM
will kick things off with the duffle bag...has a pocked for ur boots as well as a couple of pockets on the front for your odd n sods. You can also shrink the bottom pocket down in size by zipping it around if u dont want it too big.

I managed to fit the below in without any issues to give you some idea of size....

 :o it wasn't a hoody was it? If you put any gear in just leave it in by accident. I'm sure I won't mind mate haha
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on December 14, 2010, 04:36:32 PM
Onto the stand-up...it has a separate section accessed through the U-zip at the top for your helmet, gloves or clothing/boots/towel etc if u dont carry a helmet perhaps.

The main body of the bag where your pads etc all go is accessed via the grey area so that you dont have to delve to the bottom of the bag when its stood up to find anything. The two side pockets for the bats easily fit a generous profiled bat into them as i slotted in a 35mm edge just to try it. Even with it still inside its normal full length bat cover it fitted without any problems.

The two side pockets are pretty big and can fit gloves/box etc in them and the top one toilletries etc.

For those asking if it will fit your WK kit in as well as batting clobber i fitted all of the below in with room to spare and also didnt use the 2 side pockets.

No worries lads glad your both pleased with them....any problems give me a shout......been absolutely manic this week with meetings and office stuff so will get the others dispatched ASAP.

Hoodies are through customs so just awaiting delivery from DHL....apologies for the delay in getting stuff out the door but was promised they would be here a month ago now!

Ukmail runs until the 23rd dec on next day delivery.....hoping hoodies will be here either tomorrow or monday and can then dispatch everything in one go.

Royal Mail wont get stuff to you pre-xmas i wouldnt think hence why im trying to get the hoodies and bags sent out togehter to make sure they get there on time as well as saving on overall postage cost for u all ;)

Chaps to keep you all in the loop the Hoodies are in East Mildlands depot as the tracking hasnt been updated since weds, i have spoken to DHL today who are going to get back to me on monday about the progress.

For those of you awaiting bags and hoodies can you let me know if you would prefer to have the bags sent up pre-xmas and hoodies to follow if they havent arrived by monday?

Will get them sent out on monday for a tuesday delivery if so.

cheers

Not sure mate haven't had time to pin down details as been maaaanic
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Colesy on January 20, 2011, 11:47:15 PM
If you could do rubber wheels then I think they would be better.
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: tim2000s on February 08, 2011, 03:50:33 PM
Tom, you should put the dimensions of the bag on the website. I'm guessing it's about 100cm x 40cm x 40cm, but people are interested in this kind of info.
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 08, 2011, 03:58:07 PM
cheers Tim will do once the new batch turn up as made a few amendments to the original design
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!

Rubber wheels? :L
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: tim2000s on February 08, 2011, 05:06:50 PM
Wouldn't it be great if Ayrtek made a bag that was about 85 cm long and about 35 cm square with rubber wheels and a retractable metal handle! ;)
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 08, 2011, 05:08:06 PM
improved materials and wheels plus an extra one to boot.....triple wheeler!!
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 08, 2011, 05:08:50 PM
sounds like a tricky design tim! not sure we could handle it :D
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: tim2000s on February 08, 2011, 05:12:07 PM
None of this newfngled extra pockets thingy! Just a nice reasonable size and a proper towing handle....

Though if you wanted to add pockets, I wouldn't complain...
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 04, 2011, 03:31:13 PM
Few snaps of the modified/improved bags...we have changed the bag materials to make them more durable as well as adding a grab handle to the front of it and an additional wheel to the base for ease of use. Green is also closer to what we use on the pads and gloves (of which we now have plenty of youths and mens in stock of the Elite range).

Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: justnotcricket86 on March 04, 2011, 03:45:19 PM
Grab handle was what sold me on this mate, only thing missing off the last batch.

So Tom what is exactly different from the old ones?
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 04, 2011, 11:46:01 PM
1. Upgraded materials/zips/wheels
2. Triple wheeled
3. Grab handle
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 04, 2011, 11:47:26 PM
Are the wheels same as before? Just an extra one
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 04, 2011, 11:48:33 PM
Improved mate, haven't actually got any of the others to compare them too as they didn't hang around long!!

Look different to me tho :)
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 04, 2011, 11:49:37 PM
Ok mate, well they look very good... Again, I'm sure they will be top notch this time :)
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Colesy on March 04, 2011, 11:50:16 PM
I know the materials was a concern on Tom's and Stevie's bags and I kept shouting at the zips for not zipping as well as plastic wheels lasting as long as I do on a Saturday :L

Aslo on a slightly different note, when we next meet and exchange equipment, could I pass on Gareth's bat?
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 04, 2011, 11:52:12 PM
Yes mate what's it need a new handle ?

Yeah the newer ones are much better ;) bit of a learning curve getting any product perfected....slim chances of getting it right 1st time lol
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Colesy on March 04, 2011, 11:55:02 PM
Yep, 1699 runs has taken it's toll.

Tbf this is probably the first thing you have got 'wrong' as the rest of the gear has gone down well first time.
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 05, 2011, 12:00:42 AM
Yeh the design is sound in principle but ur relying on ur supplier to select the materials for u unless u go out and do it urself....very rarely does it go 100% to plan!! Lol

Was good to get some feedback on the samples though which always helps prove things.

Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Colesy on March 05, 2011, 12:03:41 AM
Hopefully they're sorted now though, mine's in my garage with stuff spewing out of it, need to organise it for Globe tomorrow. We're having a net from 9-10 if you wanna pop down.

Mine is still in pretty good condition though, just the wheels are knackered.

Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 05, 2011, 09:41:19 AM
Thanks, glad people approve. Think the 2 bat pockets really help as they are well padded and free up space elsewhere for the rest of ur kit
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: golders on March 05, 2011, 12:19:15 PM
Are there separate compartments for whites/training gear, and cricket equipment?Or is it an allinone job?
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 05, 2011, 12:22:50 PM
the top pocket is separate to the main pocket...iv got all my clothing and lid stored in the top section

two side pockets im using top one for toiletries/bat tape etc and bottom one for balls, gloves, box etc if im being honest id have liked a separate section for ur boots but if uv got a boot bag like i have they fit into the main compartment with ease.
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: golders on March 05, 2011, 12:30:46 PM
sounds really good mate.may well invest just before season. Bought the new merlin duffle, which is a bit like a golf bag, holds all my kit (at a squeeze), and doesnt really stand up on its own. Apart from that it's top draw!  :(
Title: Re: Bags....Now with Pictures!
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on March 05, 2011, 12:43:35 PM

I was struggling to get the bat in the bag with all the gear so I stitched it on in a couple of places and it worked out alot better than I thought. Will give all the gear a good testing tomorrow at nets.
