Evening guys

I need a kit bag for my son.

We have both used kookaburra bags, but they seem to drop in bits after less than a seasons use.

I like the slazenger bags, but it features a 3 bat carrier underneath which I feel leaves the bats a little exposed?

Basically,it needs to be top top quality,I'm not buying him another, traditional style,(not a duffle type)
I have no brand favourites particularly and am open to recommendations

Cheers guys

So you don't want a bat carrier?

As I'd have said the salix all kit. An awesome bag, but there is a bat cave, but I presume it's padded.


I also recommend the aero maxi bag. Very high quality, lots of space. Minimal design.


And I agree, kook bags are shocking.

The new red ink kit bag is worth a look. Pics will be posted in the next couple of days. It has 2 seperate padded bat pockets rather than the bat tunnel.

Pm me if interested and I can give you some more details

Will have a look at all suggestions

Many thanks

That is pretty impressive.

Loads of room for kit and gear. Not sure how popular you will be in the changing room though!

The aero maxi looks a nice bag, good price too

I'm just thinking back, how most of the bags I've had, have either dropped in bits or been not really upto the job?

And I've had most of the big name brands? Maybe that's where I've been going wrong?

Kook gm and slazenger have all been awful and disentegrated within a year for me.


My b3 duffle has done a decent job and still looks new, which shocked me as they are made at the same place as gm. Lol. And is why I didn't buy there big bag,


My aero maxi feels high quality but it's less than a month old. So not a real test lol.

I've had a ca 10000000000 since October, been taking to nets and stuff, and it's still looks new, my gm/kook looked battered after one Saturday.
Atleast the slazenger lasted 3month before a zip broke

I have a non cricket ouma bag which is 15years old, took it to football, cricket tours, work away bag, and hospital bag. It finally failed(plastic buckle snapped) about toe weeks ago, very impressed, if only they'd havea decent range of cricket bags.

The bags I was going to recommend have bat caves, so how about the Newbery Tour instead? There is a video review in the thumbnail on this product page: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-bags-bat-covers-c3/newbery-tour-stand-up-cricket-bag-p360

Definitely high build quality and looks stunning too.  More than enough room for any cricketer!

We locked our wicket keeper in mine last season. Hes 5ft6 and he easily had enough air for an hour or two!
