Title: Slazenger Ultimate V180 Wheelie / Aero Tour Bag
Post by: justnotcricket86 on February 17, 2011, 02:01:07 PM
In my ongoing quest for a new bag, has anyone had a look at one of these in person? From what I can see, doesnt appear to have a main pocket, pocket for spikes etc. Shops round here carry poor choice lower end stuff so can't get to anywhere showing the premium stuff.

Have spoken to Mr Peplow about a Kook 1000, and a H4L, but worried that may be too big and wanted to see if there are any other recommendations.

Or am I daft for thinking that the Aero Tour will be OK? Need to get the following kit in there...

2-3 Bats
Helmet
Pads
Gloves x 2
Keeping Gloves & Pads
Protective wear
Spikes x 2
towels, clothes, general rubbish accumalted, balls

Any advice appreciated

Cheers

I've got the Slaz (only got it last weekend) & its pretty vast. Doesn't have one big pocket but the lower pocket goes up & behind the top one, if you see what I mean. Thats the one i put my pads in, though they also fit in one of the side pockets.

It also has some sort of mini drinks cooler - not sure how it works (like a cool box i think)

Like i said before its pretty big & only just fits in the back of my Ford focus.

I'll try & get some pics up later.

Nice one mate! Would really appreciate some pics of it, as lovely as it is living in the country, it's a pain in the (No Swearing Please) not to be able to pop in to see some decent stuff. If only I lived in Swindon, would go into Asad's new place.

So is it like a massive 'flap' then...

Its difficult to describe without pics tbh. There should be room for all your stuff certainly. I was drawn to the 3 batholder which is nice & neat.

Only concern I had looking at it mate was there doesn't seem to be a spikes pocket etc. Is there one internally?

Hard Coffin, the only way to truly protect kit, doubles as a bench too for matches.

I think I'll put my spikes in the top pocket on the front, though I'm not completely familiar with it myself as I've only used it once! There's a nice helmet sized pocket on the top next to the drinks slot thing.

I don't think I would be able to pull that off Mike, not without turning up to games complete with suit and pipe and comedy facial hair

Absolutely not Buzz, agree with you there. I normally frequent the local ground with my Italian 3 button....oooh, suit you

Just don't think I shall go down the coffin route. Anyone have an Aero/Tour? Are they stupid big?
