Agreed, Jamie, on several occasions we've missed out on a bat cover sale (after selling a bat) because we didn't have a matching cover in stock, and the customer quite often doesn't want a Gray-Nicolls bat cover if he buys a GM bat, but as you say, a generic option gets around this problem to an extent, and offers a nice alternative that some may prefer to a more traditional bat cover.  The helmet bags are also an interesting one as not all helmets have these - I've not seen any Albion ones for example?

My albion came with a bag that was absolutely terrible, which is why I replaced it with a lovely helmet bag from Tom :)

Which Albion model was that? Maybe they do them for the top end.  We only stock low-mid end Albion and no helmet bags in sight...

I had wondered about that, would you have to pay for that?

All you need is somewhere with a set list of prices that people can view, would remind people exactly what they can get and easily compare to prices of brands.

Can certainly see the market for these.

But don't all bats sold in stores come with covers? Or do they have to be bought separately?

I think it depends on the brand and the store. Didn't get anything with the SS I bought last summer. I think you'll probably get a cover if you buy direct rather than from a shop.

Only certain models (usually the higher end ones) come with a bat cover, but it varies from brand to brand. And even then the retailer may choose to sell the 'free' bat cover separately rather than throw it in.
