Food for thought on Duffle bags for the Forum sponsors to maybe use on a product.
I use a duffle bag and walk approx 25-30 mins to a home game.
With this is mind there are several flaws with current Duffle bags (I use the Salix Duffle)
1. Shoulder straps only, thinly padded.
The Duffle is a backpack, I feel it would benefit from back padding, and a well padded waist strap such as a hiking/military bergan would have.
2. Open top. Leaves the top of your kit open to the weather conditions, not good for myself if it's a walk in the rain. (A duffle doesn't quite look as snazzy with a bin liner and duct tape around it)
3. Side pocket.
A nessecity but I find that rather that to gain the space for this pocket it eats into the main compartment, rather than having it's own space.
On the Salix same goes for the boot pocket. Annoying if you go to put your boots in last but the compartment inside is crushed with pads etc etc.
I am contemplating finding a way to equip some of these ideas to my currently duffle, but if any of the forum sponsors want to use these ideas and have someone test a prototype feel free and I'd be more than willing
