GN Legend Bag
« on: August 24, 2011, 02:38:46 PM »

I forgot to put up the review of my GN Legend bag which I got 2 weeks ago.

After purchasing a GM LE duplex wheelie and not being very impressed, I decided to take the bag back and get a GN Legend bag and I am very happy I did.

The bag is massive (100x40x40) and is excellent quality. Has 2 internal padded bat pockets, seperate pockets for shoes and helmet and 2 thermo pockets plus two massive side area's which are ideal for clothes and miscelaneous items, also has a top area which is perfect for spare inners, sweat bands and more. You can customize how you want the bag to be inside as the internal walls are velcroed so you can put a flooring in so the pad's sit in the top part and you can have wet clothes underneath, or you can take it out to accomodate extra gear such as keeping pads and an extra bat. It is a primarly a stand up bag as the bag opens up from the top to access the bat's, pads and glove area, but you can easily lay it down. The bag also has 4 walls all of which have a thick plastic wall to help protect the equipment and retain the shape.

It wasn't cheap coming in at $200 but all the top end bags over here are bloody expensive so it was worth it.

I would say the bag is deffinately tailored towards those who like to have their bag organised as it it isn't a big opening bag, but I like that as I know where everything is and can keep it organised rather than having everything floating around in one area. Never thought I would like a bag so much, but I really, really like it and it is clearly the best bag that GCCC had IMO. The bag alos has interlocking zips for the main compartment which you can padlock, so should I ever go on tour although the padlock would have to be a bit small and could easily be cut by some bolt cutters, but it's handy should I ever want to lock it to protect my bat's and valuables.

Had a couple of comments saying that the bag was massive, but some of their bags looked bigger (more packed) than mine, but I think it's because the bag can stand up and that just makes it stand out a bit.

Pic's, these were taken on the day I got it so not all my gear was in there yet, but I can tell you everything fits perfectly and still plenty of room for some more. Bonus was that the Bag was brand spanking new still in the box.






Shoes, Helmet, wet gear (under helmet area) areas




Bat area, it has one on each side but I only have one old bat so only took a photo of that side. Get my Laver's soon though. Can also see where the gloves go


With some gear in it. Looking at it, it may look a bit crowded, but it deffinately isn't. This is whith the flooring up, without it there is plenty of room for another set of pads

Compared to the other bags it was. The other's weren't bad quality or anything, they were actually quite good, but I just didn't like them.

Bag is sort of like top (Pads, bat, gloves, thigh pad, etc.) and bottom (Helmet, wet gear). But you can remove the flooring so it is one massive compartment and this is what you can fit in there. If only my bag came like this :(

I had an Albion bag previously which was big but it was a big opening bag and I didn't like that as all my gear just floated around, plus it meant I had to bring another bag to put my clothes, shoes and food in, so I sold it and a bunch of other gear and with the money I got this one. The Legend bag is bigger than the Albion and now I can put my clothes, food, drinks all in their own area which means that I now only have to bring one bag with me to my games which is good. Also have plenty of room for some extra bits and bobs, like if I want I can use the area under the helmet fro some spare clothes and such. Heaps of internal room as well as the external pockets being able to carry loads of gear.

So I am super impressed with the bag, clearly the best bag I've had and I look forward to using it for the upcoming season.
