Island Sports stand up wheelie
« on: April 26, 2013, 01:26:26 PM »
I put this bag on eBay bargains the other day, so I thought I would follow my own advice and get one. They were selling them off for £30 + £8 pp. Usually £65 + pp.
It is massive and the build quality is excellent. For £38 quid all in this is probably the best value bag I have seen. It has 5 pockets, unzips to reveal 2 large compartments, 1 for kit and 1 for clothes. Pictures probably don't do it justice but here they are anyway.
Thing is, it's probably to big!!! So I have also ordered the size down which isn't a stand up but is only £20.

Incredible value, is the build of a good quality? I'm probably going to order one of the smaller ones, as this looks a little big, so unless I take up wicket keeping, I would probably not need that much space! The ones a size down look pretty big though, and for £28 posted, look a top bag. :)

Build quality is very good. I was expecting a lot less in terms of quality than what I got. My last bag was a kookaburra and this is as good as if not better.
Agree on the size, it is a little to big so will keep this one for tour or even use it as a suitcase substitute and have ordered the size smaller as well.
I think they are clearing them out to make way for new stock.

Just received the duffle from Island off of eBay. It's very similar to the GM 505 duffle in terms of size and the quality is good. Not bad at all for 17 quid posted.

I ordered one aswell. yes it is very big, but I'm am keeper so got a little extra kit and need the space, is a bit tricky getting it into the car and up and down the stairs though
Have to echo what you said regarding it's quality, wasnt sure how good it would be, but now its arrived I'm very impressed especially for the price.

Loads of space and pockets for everything, and importantly a bat cave for 3 bats.
Thanks for posting the link, was exactly what I was looking for a bag that stands up and takes up less room, cheers

Does the smaller one have a 'bat cave'?

Mate, the smaller on is absolutely massive as well! I was going to use it for games. But I think it'll be to big, especially as I don't drive and grab lifts. I'll be sticking with my duffle.

I'll grab some either tomorrow/Sunday and do a review fella. It is a big bag, and lots of pockets too! Build quality is top notch too!

lol, I know what you mean about the wheels!
I was so impressed with the big bag that I also got the big wheelie, quality is excellent and will probably use it more than the big bag.
