No problem. I'll send you a pm now.

We don't have anything to do with Castor anymore unfortunately, you can read more here

Extremely interesting read. Sad that it came to the stage where you had to pry yourselves away from your own club - I don't know for sure but I think I've met a few of the committee gentlemen who you mention who were not in favour.  But kudos to Robin and yourself for making the difficult decisions. Wish you success and further progress for the coming season and beyond!

Received my TON duffle today from Vitas.

First off: great service and dispatch time. Thanks to Jake for sorting it out quickly after getting the stock in.

Initial reaction was: 'Look how small the box is; it can't be that big." I then proceeded to unfurl the beast to find it was actually quite big. Not until I transferred my kit over did I see fully it was big enough to store all my kit with ample room.

Huge main compartment with two lovely padded bat sleeves - no need for a cover anymore! Very spacious inside there.

The two side pockets stretch right the length of the bag and store all my gubbins, but personally I would of perhaps separated one of the side pockets in to two smaller pockets so you could have a bit more separation and not have to delve right to the bottom of the bag to get your shower gel.

It is big, but not mammoth like some of the deluxe wheelies. I realise that if it was too big, it would compromise the portability of the fact it actually is a duffle.

The main thing that stands out for me are the straps and back padding. Gives the bag a nice structure and feel and it stands up nicely.

A couple of things I would have liked is perhaps a boot pocket and a pocket on the top flap, but I'm thinking of sewing some mesh to the inside anyway for a bit of customisation!

Overall, very happy with the style and build quality - very sturdy and should last me a good while. Thanks again to Jake and Vitas for supplying it.

Our pleasure mate, this is a serious contender to the GN1000 in my opinion. Even more so considering it is actually available, and the GN1000 is sold out for at least another month.
