Please can someone (other than wicket keepers who are expempt) explain why there is a need to take the kitchen sink to matches? I seem to manage with a small duffle bag and have done for years!!
I agree with this point of view. I don't think you need a huge bag and even for a weekend, i don't understand why you wouldn't swap whites on the morning? Much smaller bag needed, more space in changing room and cars, and frankly, more than two bats for a match is indulgent ;)

Very interesting point this is, after years of lugging around a huge bag I am going to try to use a duffle this season and cut the kit I take to a game to the bare minimum. Pads, gloves, spikes, box, thighpads, lid, whites and a couple of bats (I often lend one out!) All in the name of trying to make me focus on the game and NOT on the kit I am using in it!

I've got decent kit, anyone who spends time on here will have, so knowing that, I am going to try and focus on the game itself. Might not make any difference but it's worth a try. Remove all distractions and focus!

.....I'll get my coat....... :D

I got the ayrtek bag for Xmas and it looks like it will be an awesome prezzie. I couldn't close my old bag now I've got a ayrtek helmet as well so it would have meant 2 bags.

My kit list:

1x set pads
1x gloves
2x bats (pretty much just because it has 2 bat pockets)
1x thigh pad (aero stripper so takes a bit more room)
1x trainers
1x spikes
1x helmet
Whites
Some bandages/supports.
Sunglasses
Hat
Various small collected detritus already  :-[

It feels like I'm not having to squash everything in and risking damage (esp due to spikes).

It also stands up in a corner so win in the changing room and at home with SWMBO.

This is what I don't understand. Why do you need a massive bag for that? The Salix Pod Pro at 86cm long x 36cm high x 33cm wide easily holds that plus a whole lot more (read towel, wash kit, lunch and a couple of jumpers) (Volume= 0.102 cubic metres). You'll have enough space in the Ayrtek, which is 97cm x 46cm x 36cm, for a small wicketkeeper (Volume= 0.161 cubic metres).

Or to put it another way, the increase in volume going from a Salix Pod Pro to a Ayrtek stand up size is a little more than 50%. I hope you are the one driving!

In response to Tim's post there, I am inclined to agree, as the Salix Pod Pro can fit an awful lot in despite not being one of the larger, stand-up type bags. I am, however, also guilty of big bag syndrome! I think I just wrongly assumed I needed a bigger bag (as I have every piece of protective gear under the sun including chest guard, strippers, arm guard etc + oversized pads too), and I've been punished for that decision as the aero bag I have is absolutely terrible. I am sure the Salix Pod Pro would have served me better...

Very true. I keep all my gear in a holdall at home and only take what I need for match day. less to lookafter and easy to manage .

It's awkward, doesn't stand up properly, and very flimsy too.  It's lasted me all of half a season.  I still use it but it's probably better off in the rubbish bin (or a big skip!) now! AVOID.

Cheers for that, mate.  The review would have been better if I had loaded it with gear though, just to properly demonstrate the space.  Glad you liked it though...

I can recommend Salix, I have the Pod1 and it is really well made, good strong material, and strong zips. It is big but it stands up which helps.

I take 2 bats, my pads, lid, strippers, 2 pairs of gloves, box, spikes, trainers, kit and towel etc. Etc.

I've always had big bags. Why?

A) I take too much kit to matches (2 bats, pads, 3x gloves, 2x shoes, box, lid, strippers, 2x trousers, 2x shirts, 2x jumper, many caps, accessories, training kit [eg hoody, shorts, track suit bottoms], wash bag, towel, magazines, gripping cone, sunglasses + large case with spare lenses) - I've probably missed somethings

B) I like to keep my kit organised (I methodically pack my kit EVERY Saturday morning) and I don't like squashing stuff in

C) I keep all my gear packed away at home and a big bag holds it all

To add to this, anyone seen the GN Legend bag for this year? Not sure if you have done a review Paul? Looks like a contender for the big bag brigade aka keepers...

Sorry for the slow reply - I have a Hunts County Almighty. Prior to that I've had 2 Aero tour bags, but they both fell apart
