I am toying with the idea of getting a duffle bag to take to training.

Currently I use an old wheelie bag but as I go straight from work to training (and therefore have to take the bag on peak trains) I get a few annoyed looks and comments from other commuters.

I am thinking that a duffle will be much better, however, I am worried about the potential extra wear on the shoulders of my suit jackets and also the general discomfort that comes with wearing shoulder straps whilst wearing a suit jacket.

Anybody in the same boat and have any suggestions or comments either way?

Would something like a GM404 bag be more suitable (no pun intended) with the single shoulder strap? 

I generally only take shoes, pads, bat, gloves, strippers, box, lid, wicket keeping gloves and a change of clothes to training.

How about an Affinity duffle bag, either Hustle or Phantom?

Padded straps with an inner lining that is sort of neoprene/wetsuit like in nature, shouldn't harm your suit at all

Take off your jacket and hold on your arm... its hot now afterall!

Take your jacket off and leave on the back of your chair at work. Even better!

I too were Suits and go to training straight from Work, I have moved to the Duffle for the reasons you state, I have a millichamps & Hall T3 duffle bag and have not seen any effect on the Suit Jacket . It has padded straps , It is very comfortable and doesn't damage the Linen Suit ( which instantly crumples ). The Bag is able to take all you stated

Put on your change of clothing for the commute?

Is it possible to have a spare set of kit and keep that at the club, pads bat, lid ext, then just ship your clothes. I did this at uni.
